So refreshing to NOT get the impression HE was doing ME a favour! :D I was persuaded to visit by the news that my order, if placed, would be No.4 in the queue for an S, still with nothing promised before September. Although just one extra S will have a greater impact on dates than if I'd joined the list at Chester who have 63 customers in line and quoted June/July 2023 for an S!
Today we spent 2.5 hours in Stockport with their, just promoted, Business Manager (stepped in for our designated SE who sadly phoned in sick this morning) and explored my options both definite and undecided using the Configurator as well as umpteen vehicles inside and outside the showroom. That put paid to my Aggate grey idea and management's Pebble leaning! We won't be hassling them with Omni voluminous changes, although a Sport button on the steering wheel has some attraction! The Sales Manager joined us for the second half of a BS free candid discussion on some options, together with those delivery prospects. I had considered the PSCB and would have happily invested in them if there was potential to recoup that by virtue of their longevity avoiding a couple of steel disc replacements but he quickly dispelled that one! Good for performance with a much quicker and firmer grab but thats all.
We also talked about why we were there and not "nearer home" which has led me to expect a much happier purchase experience. Seems they get quite a few customers from the "east" not so many from the west but then the drive across the Pennines is far nicer than Manchester and the motorways on t'other side.
👍Very nice spec, but then I would say that having specced mine almost identically mechanically 😊

:evil: well I wonder which wnacker I spoke to! Maybe he saw a 0114 phone number and didn't think I was serious. Shame, a day in Chester when having a service is far more attractive than Stockport, notwithstanding we aren't tied to the supplying OPC for servicing.

Nice spec and I have to approve the colour. Just surprised through you find the Gen 3 changes attractive enough to replace a 2020 Gen2 S? or are you going to run 2 Macans???

Having been to senior school in Bolton and lived just west on Manchester until Uni and still having friends in the area, I can understand Stockport not getting much business from the west

Stockport OPC have been incredible! Fantastic service and great communication from the day I first called them and kept me updated throughout. I’m one of the customers from the “East” and picking up my S on Monday. You may have seen it parked somewhere, finished in Carrara white with 21” GT design wheels?

That's the OPC I went with, and they've been great with me. There were only 5 people in front of me in the queue for the GTS when I placed my deposit, expecting mid '22 delivery. Two of those in front of me in the queue didn't want the earlier slot when it became available, so it was given to me instead which is how I'm (hopefully!) getting the car so quickly. I'd be willing to wager they can probably still get you a car faster than lots of other OPC's, the list at both Nottingham and Leicester (more local to me) was over 30 people when I enquired last year. It's probably even more now!

Hope you have a great day picking up your Macan. I’m looking forward to seeing some photos - esp. the extended Bordeaux interior as I am undecided on going for the 1/2 leather or the full as you have done.
Thanks in advance !

I had the same conundrum but finally went with the partial as I didn't fancy having a wall of distracting red on the dash. Going red is a bit "rakish" - you know - stylishly handsome and prone to saucy, fast behavior.

I will be picking mine up next week (20th) I have also gone with the partial Bordeaux . I will obviously get some pictures up :D - I will look forward to seeing the full, as so far there doesn't seem to be many around with the Bordeaux

My SE sent me some pictures when the car arrived at the dealership last month. However, it had arrived with an error on the build which Porsche have rectified now. Hopefully these pictures give an idea but I’ll take proper pictures on Monday and post them under natural light. These pictures were taken indoors in a floodlit area when the car was taken in for inspection, so the interior appears brighter than normal.

I believe the second picture was taken outdoors so that’s more accurate.
