Great car, somewhat different to a Macan though, it’ll be outside manufacturers warranty so IMHO make sure you get a Porsche extended warranty package.Sweetmeister wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 11:55 amCheers mate, I’m now thinking 991 Carrera S.PorscheMack wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 11:39 amGood luck with whatever route you takeSweetmeister wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 11:30 am
I think so, but sounds about right on the level of service! I’ve still not heard anything from my SE. She will be getting an email today though.

Yes, I’ve thought about it long and hard and I’ve always wanted a Porsche, but a Macan, I’m not so sure. I have always wanted a Porsche but really a 911.
For what I’m looking to spend I can get a 991 S from an OPC with a 2 year warranty so hopefully trouble free motoring for at least two years, I’d probably then just extend the warranty anyway.
No offence to any Macan owners,they are great cars,but I just don’t think my heart was in a Macan, but a 911!

This is why I traded in my new Macan, after only a month, for a 991. At least you’ve saved the financial cost that I suffered!

In response to all your kind thoughts and questions raised I suggest the following:
- be aware that there maybe a macan base crayon 71 reg for sale from yesterday at Tewkesbury opc other porsche dealers particularly in the Dick Lovett group which will require careful examination if you are looking to buy. The car has been carefully run in for 2000 miles, drives superbly, is perfect except for misalignment issues especially on the drivers side which require returning to show room standards.
- if you like the car only commit to a refundable deposit until the car is rectified to your satisfaction. You will probably have to pay more than I did but that is due to the market and the need for the opc to get a return on their business.
In general I suggest all new and used Macans should be very carefully inspected by their customers for these bodywork issues as pdi does not seem to uncover them. Pressures on the extended delivery times mean mistakes are more likely to be made which reduce product quality and customer service. It is even more important that customers are diligent with their checks on quality and service.
Buyer beware and ensure as many checks are made before you part with your money. Also if quality drops escalate the issue to the dealer principle to get a chance of quick and effective resolution. In my experience they and their senior management do not seem to be aware when there are problems so the customer has to do that job for them. Be prepared to have to work hard for resolution once they have your money. There is a lack of trust now in life which requires individuals to work harder with organisations to get the level of product and service they deserve. Porsche Ag and Porsche dealers are no different.
I will return to porsche ownership but through the independant sales and service route. My experience has put me off using the opc route to ensure enjoyment of porsche ownership in the future.
