2019 Used Macan S Opinions Please

[andywebber]

Hi Guys,

I wonder if I could get your opinions on the car below please. It is a 2019 Macan S with 50,000 miles on the clock, in Sapphire Blue, which is my favourite colour and a few options that I like!



I have a budget of £50K at most, which unfortunately means I cannot purchase new, so I was looking at used ones and found this on the Saxtons 4x4 website but the high miles and only a part service history are putting me off.

I will not put many miles on the car so the high mileage may not be too much of a concern I guess and the spec is ok’ish for me, but I keep changing my mind (which really means that it is not the car for me, I guess) but the price seems quite competitive!?

My main concern is the part service history – I have very little detail besides this but I guess that means that the 40,000 major service has not been carried out (does this not include PDF fluid change as well, if I remember correctly) and so this would be a large cost service I assume?

It only comes with 3 months of RAC cover, which can be extended – not sure what the RAC warranties are like, but I guess I could pay for a 111 check and then get a Porsche extended Warranty?
Maybe I need to wait / save for another year or so and purchase new then

Thanks
Andrew

I'd look elsewhere, I don't think Saxtons 4x4 are necessarily the best traders to buy from. A friend used to work there...

You'll pay more to buy from an OPC, but you should end up with a decent car with a decent warranty. The Porsche used car site has lots of Macans under £50K.

Agree with Andreas, just had a look on Porsche finder, first car up, see below

There's a few Porsche Approved Used at this link including a Sapphire Blue one that looks nicer than the one at Saxtons

Thanks guys - much appreciated. I must admit to not having looked on the Porsche website for a few weeks as I though that they would be out of my budget, but I am looking for 2019-2020 and that one looks nice 2japs

Believe this is my old car. You may be able to get a deal? https://finder.porsche.com/gb/en-GB/det ... =int-black

Thanks for that Tim - those details look nice and only 21K miles I wonder if I could get a deal on that and go in with cash and get 1K or so off? (mind you they really want you to take out finance when doing this I guess?)

Blimey I see you only had it for 2 years and now have a brand new 2023 model - I wish I could afford to change cars that frequently

Thanks Again

This is my old car, I used it for my work as a surveyor, the mileage is the result of travelling into London fairly frequently, it was always serviced by Porsche Colchester until the brake pads needed doing which were sorted by a local specialist who services my 911. It had an extended warranty until 4 years old, it cost them plenty to sort out the rear washers.

It has never been damaged or crashed, I was the only driver from new.

Way to high a mileage to consider.

There Must be a full service history with any Porsche that you buy.

Oh, did you suffer with the rear washer connection and it soaking the carpets like a lot of others during the cold snap then?
I see that you are also in a new nice 2023 Macan - how does it compare to the older model, as far as you are concerned - maybe I wait and save a bit more and try for an early gen 3 next year?
