Macans Gone!

[davlewis]

Morning All,

After a short 4 weeks I came to the decision last weekend to part ways with my beautiful Macan, for some reason (I’m not sure why) but I simply couldn’t get comfortable in it and I was getting leg/foot ache/pain. So I decided that with so much money in the car I didn’t want to keep something that just wasn’t working for me. Fortunately in this silly market I didn’t lose anything on it.

I picked up its replacement yesterday, a brand new Mercedes AMG E53 Estate (wagon?!) Premium Plus Night Edition! It’s has a healthy 435bhp, it certainly shifts and makes an awesome sound! And most importantly of all I was really comfortable on the 150 mile trip home!

I would like to say thank you to this great community for your help when I was specing and waiting for my Macan! Really is a friendly forum!!

Just a couple of pictures because I know we all love pictures!

Lovely replacement! Sad the macan had to go but for the right personal reasons. Did you sell the macan back to Porsche?

Thanks! No I sold it to Redline Specialist Cars. Can’t complain, I came out around £4k over what I paid (although I had a decent discount so I didn’t sell for much more than the OTR price I paid) which went along way towards affording the E53. Redline were super easy and quick to deal with although their mark up is hilarious!

Nice to be able to sell a car without loosing heaps of £££.

Great looking Merc

100% it’s still such an odd market! And I was very lucky to get a great deal on the Merc! Managed to get it for almost £4K under list!

Enjoy your superb, and comfy!, new motor.

Thanks, loving it so far, though I think it will be a month until I find my way though the millions settings it seems to have!

What model Macan did you have?

It was the Gen 3 base 2.0l with around £11k of options you can see it here for what Redline are asking ….

Do you think the 14 way seats would have been more comfortable?

Two great looking cars!

Funnily enough, I sold my 2.0 Macan after 4 weeks, back in 2016. Mine was to swap for a pre-owned 991.1 Carrera.

Sadly, they were more ‘normal’ times back then, so I did lose a bit, but (apart from financially) I had no regrets.

Enjoy the Merc, and I’m sure your Macan will find a good home.
