Sometimes the peace of mind is worth the additional interest payments. Also, try and get a personal loan for more than £25k and you will find it nigh on impossible.

That being said I have nearly always paid cash for my cars as it usually works out cheaper over the period of ownership. Right now, with Brexit uncertainty, I wouldn't. Porsches are luxury vehicles and their residuals could be badly hit if a Brexit related recession is around the corner.

You pays your money you takes your choice (or is that chance)
Surely that could also work the other way, for instance if German cars go up in cost after a bad brexit deal, residuals would also climb!!
True - exchange rate would play a big part there

There seems to be demand for the Macan GTS at the moment. I was called by a few OPCs offering good money for my GTS. I did think about it but there is nothing else that comes close so decided to keep it and enjoy :) .

👍 Right decision also had same for my Turbo, what's the point unless you already have another more suitable vehicle in mind lined up.

Glad I found this group.
I am about to buy outright pre owned dealer approved Maccan
Getting a brand new one would have been great but the steep price even with financing could not make it attractive.

Certainly hope it’s the right decision as models seem to hold their value & I like owning* my car till wheels fall off.
Spec & milleage means, still paying top price for a used one :|
