Am I tempted not sure yet depends on what my 3000 mile mint well specced up GTS is worth in p/x.

If you succomb to temptation Steve my son loves his new GT Silver 991.2 C2. He reckons his best options are the manual gearbox and the sports exhaust.

That sounds promising, as my T has both of those! :mrgreen: Same engine as your son's car too.

The piece from Carbuzz plus their commitment to E vehicles I think makes that very plain.

I think if we also factor in China, their biggest market, and Chinas very proactive stance to E vehicles then it seems clearer than ever.

SD owners may well be sat in an appreciating asset. Well an asset that’s not depreciating quite as quickly.
Just had an e mail from WBAC today to say that my Macan SD had increased in value. Now £500 more than last month.

The annoying thing is that my OPC would not even match WBAC in January 2017 and therefore I cancelled my order for Macan number 3.

An OPC not even matching WBAC is shameful given the markup they can put on a car to retail it. I would certainly move on from that dealership.

I did. I said that was the last time I was buying from them. I had bought 3 new Porsche from them in 4 years and Macan 3 would have been the 4th. I had loyally travelled 200 miles return each time but it obviously counted for nothing. Might as well just bought from my local OPC. 20 miles away.

The mark up on my 1yr/9k S would have been £8500 if a forum member had not contacted me and then bought it. We both knew because they listed it before they saw it and I already had their 'final' trade in offer. Aparently that's about the norm
