My 1st MOT also due in May. might ask them to do the 111point check at same time if warranty costs is reasonable. Anyone know what the 2 year warranty cost is . Not bothered about Porsche Assistance as not been impressed in the past.
2 year extension without porsche Assist is £1400
With Assist it’s £1715 from memory
Thanks. Might see what I can get the 111 point check done for if I buy the 2 year warranty. I believe that in the USA you get a 5 year warranty as standard.

If you ask them to do the 111 point check at the MOT it may not cost you the additional £216. 😉

I am aware of others that have managed this.
I did my warranty within the 1st 12 months so no check required.
I think it’s actually a very reasonable cost for the warranty which is also transferable.

Carthrottle.com has just run an article that says .......
Porsche has completely dropped diesel engines from all of its ranges, in a dramatic move based on the paradigm shift in consumer attitudes towards hybrids.

The Stuttgart performance merchant has taken the huge step to remove the diesel Panamera and Macan from production altogether. The all-new Cayenne won’t now be offered with a diesel, and the move affects all of Porsche’s global markets. Any brand new diesels you see for sale will be from existing dealer stock.
So when is this ‘old enough to know better’ supposed to kick in ?

Cayenne GTS - Mar 2022
Cayenne S - Aug 2019 to Mar 2022
Macan Turbo - Feb 2018 to Aug 2019
Cayenne S - Apr 2015 to Feb 2018
Cayenne - Jul 2013 - Apr 2015
BMW R1250GS - since Dec 2021

I think this has been coming down the road for a few months. They certainly recognised the ‘shift’ last year when the decision must have been made to start ramping up the production of E models from the originally estimate volumes.

Interesting that BMW has just launched their new X4 with a choice of 2.0 or 3.0 diesel engines.
No other manufacturer, including all the other German brands, has dropped diesel from their range.

Bentley has recently introduced the diesel engined version of the Bentayga.

Can only hope that Porsche has something to offer the high mileage SUV driver in the near future or they will be losing a lot of business. SUVs have been the backbone of their range in recent years.

Saw my SE yesterday to hand over retention certificate and he said they have heard nothing from Porsche about the diesel engine removal but that they were definitely expecting hybrid versions to come with the facelift Macan. I note that he said versions in the plural so that could be interesting.

From what I understand the Bentayga is hitting emissions targets... as is the 530d Bmw.

Afternoon,

There seem to be some German legal court cases pending regarding the green lobby and can the cities continue to pump out diesel motors

If the German transport ministry KBA pulled the approval for the Macan SD, seem Porsche would have to buy back all the European SD's.

Having met Americans who had the forced re-purchase route they loved it full refuns x years later!

Best thing for us might be a class action with cars repurchased at cost

However, the sd is a dream to drive it can pull a trailer and I don't want a 3 litre petrol.

lets see

I would take the full refund route, if offered? Only bought 4 months ago and was 'steered' towards the new showroom floor SD, away from the used GTS (£4K more expensive) on the basis that it would lose less money? I think I had my "I'm a Mug" hat on, that day!

That definitely seems like very questionable advice. However, whilst they’ve been very strong, I’ve definitely observed GTS residuals softening a bit lately. Whilst the whole diesel situation is a bit alarming, I personally think that the residuals will hold up ok. I’ve seen no less interest in dealers (OPCs and independents) wanting to buy my car and I actually got a £2k increase in the offer this week from one.
