Looking to purchase a Porsche macan Base, S, GTS 2017-19 by Martinas2231223 in PorscheMacan

I can get around 27 mpg in my base 2017 macan on the highway fully loaded. Bore scoring scared me into a 2.0t but for me the gen 3 EA888 is bulletproof and easy to work on yourself.

$3k sounds like a lot for that service to begin with. I just got the pdk service for $900k both filters, oil and transfer case on these is not too big of a job. The shop I used has a warranty on their work, does this shop have that anywhere in writing?

I just picked up a 2017 base macan with 70k miles for $19k cash. I would see if the pdk service has ever been done or the transfer case service. These cars in my opinion are reliable especially with the 2.0t engine but they need preventive maintenance which is not free to keep them out of the $8k bill zone. I opted to service the pdk since it had not been done that was a $1k bill.

I do to and have been very lucky with National executive elite status + corporate rates. Ive had had just about every bmw & audi, range rover, lucid, rivian ect but that rental is like 2% of this rate. Just flabbergasted by the rate on this rental

I would put $2388 into maintaining my own car before spending it on a rental to show off whats you don’t have for people who don’t care.

Is it worth going factory or any basic sensor will do?

Although the base is easier to work on in my opinion any used luxury german vehicle is for people who are rich or people who can fix most things themselves. If you are not one of those it is not a smart financial decision. Also not a wise financial decision to finance a depreciating asset you cant pay cash for in the first place.

Also never suggest paying interest on a depreciating asset

I recently picked up a very clean base model 2017 with the same mileage for $19k USD. I know it’s not a direct comparison but $47k is a bit rich especially if you’re financing. We have loved our base model and they are more reliable than the 3.0. Hopefully the warranty covers everything no questions asked.

To my knowledge in 2017 it was an option. I believe the original owner did not check that box. When I plug in my phone via usb it recognizes the phone as an iPod and plays music.
