    Front license plate pics (U.S.)

    Great point! I'm actually going to visit one tomorrow, so I'll cake a look.

    When did the 2024 & 2025 Macan 4 first get delivered?

    I'm having trouble finding accurate information about when the two currently available model years of the Macan 4 were first delivered to customers. Does anyone know the approximate delivery dates for these trims? Like when they were first available in dealer inventory for purchase or delivered...

    Calculating the ideal BUY / SELL window to optimize value

    As a data analyst, I love looking at charts and optimizing things. Just for fun, I built a sheet to look at the residual value of a CPO Macan vs loan balance and warranty. ————— GOAL ————— Find an optimal window to buy, own, and then sell a lightly-optioned CPO Macan 4. ————— NOTE —————...

    Front license plate pics (U.S.)

    Thanks! Most of the videos were disabled, and the pics were very close up so it's a bit hard to tell. But I did find one vertical video with a plate holder that was empty. Overall, not quite as bad as I envisioned, but I still wish we didn't need front plates on such a beautiful vehicle.

    Front license plate pics (U.S.)

    I've watched just about every video of the electric Macan on YouTube, and looked at hundreds+ of photos online. I just realized I have never seen a photo of a Macan with a front license plate from the U.S. — I've seen plenty of videos and pics with the skinnier European style plates. Suddenly...

    What is a CPO Porsche - REALLY?

    Most of the sites described it as pretty comprehensive, excluding normal wear and tear, but otherwise covering everything. But it does sound like there might be some minor variance from one dealer to another.

    One-pay lease and account balance? SOLVED!

    Also worth noting that if you are technically "leasing" the car, and don't actually own it, you won't get paid by the insurance company if the car is totaled in an accident. The leasing company gets paid out for the value of the car, so you lose all the money you put into the lease. I'd think...

    Buying vs leasing (and possibly buying then): my numbers

    One thing to consider, if you do a one-pay lease and pay out $40k - $50k upfront, and the car is totaled 1 month later, you lost 100% of that cash. The insurance company won't give you a dime because you don't own the car. They pay the leasing company. In other words, you lost $50k, and the...

    What is a CPO Porsche - REALLY?

    I've read many different descriptions of what qualifies for a CPO Porsche. Some describe it as a dealer-owned vehicle that was never officially sold to anyone. But several Porsche dealer websites describe it much more broadly in terms of the mileage, year, and inspection with a warranty. I was...

    The Mark Of A Well Put Together Vehicle

    I'm in a similar position as you — but I'm (hopefully) about 1 year away from being a first time Porsche owner. Waiting on my current ID.4 lease to end. I just watched some great videos on YouTube about how Porsche assembles ICE Macans as well as Taycans. I had no idea they use so many robots...

    How much depreciation are lease deals showing?

    If there's one thing I've learned over my many years leasing and buying cars, it's that we all get different deals — even for the exact same car. It depends on market conditions, dealer desperation, and our ability to negotiate (or not). So, while some folks may be able to get a great deal on...

    PCA Video on Repairing a Porsche Taycan battery pack

    Thanks for sharing! Wasn't familiar with PCA.org. Will watch this vid later!

    How much depreciation are lease deals showing?

    So what I'm seeing here is that I can get a really great specked out used electric Macan for a few grand more than a base model with no features if I'm patient due to value compression over time? I like the sound of that deal!

    How much depreciation are lease deals showing?

    Yeah, not holding my breath on that, haha. I guess I was thinking more like "3 model years" on the market and not "3 years old"

    How much depreciation are lease deals showing?

    If I can buy a 3-year old CPO electric Macan for $40k next summer then sign me up! (esp. if it's above the base trim and has the premium package) ?

    Picked up my new Macan Turbo: First Impressions

    Beatiful! That's definitely my favorite exterior color. And it looks great with the brown interior!

    How much depreciation are lease deals showing?

    That's a good point. I never really thought about depreciation of "options" separately from depreciation of "vehicle." I suspect some options are much more market-friendly and retain their value better than others that may be more "personal preference." I imagine "quality of life" options...
