Hi All,

I have a budget of around £35k. How long do you think I need to wait until I can get a Macan with less than 30,000 miles on the clock, with the following minimum spec:

Panaramic roof
Sport design kit
Adaptive sport seats
Air suspension or PASM
20" or 21" wheels

Thanks in advance.

From where? Official Porsche dealer, other dealer or private sale? The engine will make a big difference to price too.

Any of those. Appreciate that at that price point, I may not be within reach of a main dealer car.

Either petrol or diesel. I do around 12,000 miles a year, so probably the point where neither petrol or diesel is significantly more attractive than the other.

There are a few on Autotrader at that price...the sport design kit may be harder to find and you may have to compromise on the miles, especially with a diesel which will be easier to find (many, many more sold new compared to all other models) and the higher miles aren’t as critical.

I don't really want a much higher mileage car. This seems to tick all the boxes, but is at £40k.

IMHO that’s priced Ok.
If they won’t drop the price maybe ask if they will throw in the value of one years Porsche warranty, which is worth 840 quid plus an 111 point check worth 220 quid (ish)

So that’s worth a grand.

I’ve just bought on for just under 37k, which was a tough haggle.

Mine is 65 plate but 28k miles and 20” alloys.

Not sure the one you’ve shown there has air suspension which Mine has but it may. It matter to you.
Mine also has full extended leather which was a must for me.

Good luck with the hunting.

Here’s my new ride.

+1 Unusual to see one with the diesel badges still in place! Most SD owners get them removed (me included!). :D

Genuinely

I didn’t even notice it.

My other ride is a black boxster s and that’s petrol of course - maybe I need to make sure I know what fuel to use in what car. 😀

I must say I’m well impressed with the fuel economy.
Mrs wilpert work run 40 mile round trip with part traffic. 37.7 mpg.

So the diesel badge is working 😀
