Yes a nicely specced vehicle. See the car has air susp but also 21 " wheels which probably harms the ride more than the more restricted GTS spring travel. (Says a man who has been enjoying his S on its 18" winter wheels and trying to remember what it will be like on its summer 20" set when restored on Tuesday)

This car went into Leeds OPC before lockdown for some rectification work & ended up being still there as we speak. I have been lent a 20 reg GTS to use over the lockdown, both cars have 21” wheels & air suspension & PASM and I would not have a Macan without either of the above suspension mods. The GTS has a much harder ride than my S and also has a considerable thirst compared to my Macan S. The above is My personal observation & is in no way an endorsement of how you have been treated. The extra power of the GTS in my opinion is not worth it it’s thirst!

That’s a big spec car they’ve lent you there and I don’t like red cars but that actually looks ok. Can’t believe they missed off adding red seat belts !

These Audi engines need miles on them before the fuel consumption settles, normally at least 10k.

Any pics of your car in and out?

The spec is good, looks like an Agate interior which is a bit marmite and being advertised as an auction on fleabay by a trader that looks like they’ve been operating just over a year

Wouldn’t be keen on the interior and an eBay auction wouldn’t give me a lot of confidence when spending a lot of money.

I suppose other companies operate entirely through ebay, as MikeM has determined, has registered at companies house for what he is doing (one 30+ yr old). Sounds genuine, but I would still assume buy ‘as seen’ and there will be no (real) guaranteed come back if there is a problem, needs a solid Porsche service history so they don’t disown it if you take it to them for any fix.

Looks like he is finding clean cars. You should take him up RAC checked and double check it has no outstanding debts against it; probably how he is getting them. I like a dealer with a store front but I’m old fashioned that way.

ebay full of scams especially for big ticket items. That and the fact that he seems to be offering no warranty at all would mean it wasn't for me, but then for some bolt type it could be the way into a nice Macan on the cheap. You pays your money and takes your chance I suppose.

Depends on the price it goes for. Cheapest similar turbo at OPC currently £48k. To compensate for the risk, I would not be bidding above £35K.

The difference should easily finance 111 point check, rectifying possible faults and cost of two year warranty plus the likely 20 mpg or less fuel consumption

I actually prefer agate interior to black

@pmg I agree with you, I prefer Agate grey interior compared to black, I think black makes the interior look smaller.
Both the cars I was comparing have 21” wheels, so the harder ride on the GTS I put down to the restrictive spring rates & the 15mm lowered height.
The GTS has a very nice spec, but the one item that is missing that my S has is the 360 camera view, very useful when avoiding curbs when parking!
When I get back next week I will post up some pictures of the int & ext of the car with the spec, which I am told by the OPC was over £16k when built.
The thirst of the GTS has encouraged me to use my 986 Boxster for the economy

Thanks, the fact both cars are on 21 wheels and air confirms spring rates and travel affecting ride. makes me even happier I purchased S in 2019 rather than wait for facelift GTS.

Have surround view on my S and since having it on previous BMW become one of my must-haves
