Hi All. So we’ve placed our deposit down for Gen 3 base Macan due around March next year (thanks to the ongoing issues to supply PASM etc).
In the meantime it’s got me working out the maths for the Macan S which only comes in fractionally more expensive per month on PCP. Has anyone had both the base and S and can advise what cost difference we can expect in terms of servicing and consumables (eg brakes)? I’ve read on here fuel difference is marginal but I assume there is a difference on service costs. Just trying to understand full cost implications over the lifetime of the car. Any advice would be appreciated!
Running costs
I think your best bet will be to ask your dealer, they can give you an exact comparison. You'll need to predict the mileage and maybe type of use, motorway doesn't take as quick a toll on the oil as being left unused in the garage and my oil change after 15k cost £413, the service booked on the 25th of this month is quoted at £447 (no oil change).

i’m having an oil service on my mini cooper S next week. its £394, so £413 on a Macan sound pretty damn good.Neil1911 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 7:30 pm I think your best bet will be to ask your dealer, they can give you an exact comparison.

It is a Porsche, with all that goes with it.
Ring a few OPCs and ask them the service costs.
Then do the same for an equivalent priced model by BMW and Mercedes.
I have no idea of current versions but my Turbo is only serviced every two years so halving the cost to give a yearly spend will prove it to be a reasonable cost.
At the end of the day it is a Porsche, enjoy it and to hell with the cost, the Macan will put a smile on your face every time you walk up to it.
Enjoy

+1. Only reason that I didn’t get the S as my first Porsche was that the S had a MUCH longer wait time than the 2.0.

don't understand why people pay £400 plus just for an oil change, i change the oil every 10,000 miles which cost £65 for 6lts oil, £9 for the filter and £40 for the garage.
just think it makes sence as the oil ways in turbos and engines are so small any slight blockage might cause a problem later in it's life.
even cheaper if you DIY.

Within a few kilos, the car weighs the same whichever engine you put in it so make your choice on how you intend to use the car. If it's mainly around town and short journeys then the 2L is fine. For longer journeys, the massively superior overtaking ability means buy the S.
My GTS creates overtaking abilities that just weren't there in any previous car. The MY2022 S has the same engine as the MY2020 GTS. In the first year of ownership, fuel cost alone work out at 22p per mile over 4,000 miles. I may be wrong but I think you'll find servicing cost in the same ball park regardless of model. As others have said ask your OPC.

Pretty sure if its on PCP they frown on you doing your own maintenance. Plus I changed my oil once and just ended up with rather a large puddle of oil under the car.gasgas1 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 7:58 am don't understand why people pay £400 plus just for an oil change, i change the oil every 10,000 miles which cost £65 for 6lts oil, £9 for the filter and £40 for the garage.
