My Macan SD ... Nearly

[BigPhil]

It is becoming clearer by the day that 1 owner, low mileage, well spec'd Macan SDs are now extremely hard to find. I have since enquired about 2 that were due in from a part ex to find out the next morning they are sold. That's without even landing on a sales page.

My SD was just in for it's 60k service at the OPC. They gave me a bog standard 2020 Macan, 2.0l loaner. Surprisingly quick though I must say. Anyhow, there was a problem on a part and I ended up in it for 10 days. The shocking amount of Super unleaded I had to put in it over the 600 miles I had it tells me why SD's are so popular. I can get 550-580 miles off a tank in mine, in the loaner I was struggling to get 320 and that's at £1.20 a litre.

My ex-one is for sale at the Porsche dealership:

Lovely car but beyond my budget. I am around the £35k mark meaning 65 plate or 16 plate category. Important that it has PDLS, PAN ROOF, PASM, 14or18 WAY SEATS, 20INCH WHEELS then some other nice but less expensive options. Just gold dust at the moment. Makes me feel sick that i lost my patience and let the car go.

What about the other one below on same link “Night Blue” has all that you state above but on 19” wheels and more miles, just the one owner. Also a few on PGB site with decent specs £36-7k and see that they are sometimes marked lower on OPC local site. Good luck

Crikey, seems like I let my SD go on the cheap! Full leather, pasm,bose,21" turbo wheels 14 way seats, Panoramic roof 26,000 miles. Ah well, such is life.

I have been unable to find a Macan SD with the same spec, mileage or "deal" since regrettably ageeing to have my deposit returned on the car from Leicester. There aren't many cars to chose from at the dealerships at the moment (£35k or less on Macan SDs.

This one from Porsche Wilmslow has 46,000 miles (almost 3x more than the Leicester car, with a lesser spec meaning the monthly is higher!).

Car has had transfer box replaced and has PASM, 14 Way Memory seats, PAN ROOF, PDLS, PCM, PRIVACY GLASS, 21 SPORT CLASSICS LANE ASSIST. The advert is on Porsche Approved but no pictures. I am unsure of the Agate Grey? Perhaps the wheels would be better suited black to help?

Just IMHO not a very exciting combination, Agate with chrome trim and 21”platinum wheels, plus too many miles. There are far more interesting examples if you move away from OPC. If it’s a prestige dealer and you can see a solid Porsche only history with a decent initial warranty you could consider bolting on a Porsche warranty separately after 90 days ownership, although it would have to pass their inspection criteria beforehand?

Fair comment. Would there be any particular dealers you would recommend? It is clear that the final payment / GMFV is far different out with Porsche Finance. Smaller balloons and larger monthly. I suppose it is swings and roundabouts.

Here are a few that tend to have low mileage Porsche cars with sound history: Redline Knaresborough, GC Motors Harrogate, Prestige Performance Yorkshire and here is one from Cridfords in Surrey? Also see a nice Carmine red in Porsche Kendal, is above your £35k but all depends on monthly sum/ final value
