Used Macan discount

[stallturn]

I have spotted a used Macan on a Porsche dealer's website.
Before I contact them and take it further, I am canvassing the Forum's opinion on dealer flexibility on pricing ie how much discount might I be able to negotiate?
I recognise there may be plenty of variables at play, but does anyone have any recent, or anecdotal, experience of how far dealers can be pushed in today's 'high interest', 'cost of living crisis' etc environment?

Agreed, however there's nothing to stop you asking. If you're not fussed about having that particular the car too much, try offering in writing 5% less than asking. Make the offer in the last week of a month or quarter. They may bite.

On new cars? Not a chance in hell.

Second hand GT cars? Not a chance in hell.

Second hand Macan's? You don't get if you don't ask. Some dealers will be chancing their arm with prices, or may have had stock for some time. Shy people get nothing.

2 months ago, I was saw a Gen 2 Turbo on sale at a local OPC for £67k. Lovely spec. I was very keen and put a holding deposit on it and test drove it the next day. I'd mentioned to the sales rep that my target was £65k.
For various reason I decided not to go ahead. When I told the sales rep I wasn't going to buy, he offered to "get nearer" my £65k limit. I didn't take him up on it.

You can definitely get a bit off a used car, and they price in a bit of wriggle room.

If the car has been hanging around for a while, they’re more likely to knock off a bit.

As said, end of month or quarter & they’re more keen to hit/exceed sales targets.

I think 5% is a good shout, after you’ve had a test drive and shown you’re serious.

Obviously taking a bit of Porsche/VW finance will oil the wheels, even though APRs are on the high side.

I think it will also depend on how keenly priced the car is compared to others in the approved used network.

A comparable car but cheaper car might provide some leverage. “It’s not my favourite colour/ is missing XXX/don’t like the wheels [amend as apprpriate] but it’s difficult to ignore a saving of £X,000” is a tactic I have used successfully previously albeit not with Porsche.

My gen 2 turbo was up for £67...it eventually dropped to £61k and then sold

Thanks for all the replies.
Interestingly, the car in question is a Gen 2 Turbo and up for around £67k. The salesman is giving me the "not making them anymore", "most powerful Macan", "look at all the extras you get as standard" etc etc lines.
He tells me there may be a bit of price flexibility, but "couldn't go as low as £65k"
Given that used Gen 2 turbos all seem to be in the mid £60's to mid £70's range, I wonder how well they sell, given that I can spec up a new Macan S to my taste for not more than their asking price.......
Looks like I may be holding out for a while.

Just offer him £65k and tell him it’s on the table until you find an alternative.
