Looking for some honest advice from Macan/Porsche owners here.
I’m considering a 2021 Macan GTS CPO from Porsche Wichita. Asking price is around $56k, black on black, ~51.5k miles. CarFax is clean overall (2 owners, no accidents/damage), and Porsche just did a decent amount of CPO/service work in January including oil, brake fluid, spark plugs, filters, tire mount/balance, etc.
A few things I’m weighing:
- Mileage is a little higher than what I originally targeted. I was initially trying to stay in the 40–50k range because of the 40k/60k maintenance milestones on these cars.
- There’s a mileage inconsistency on the CarFax, but it appears to clearly be a clerical/reporting issue because the mileage timeline otherwise makes sense and Porsche still CPO’d the car.
- Car has apparently been sitting since January, which makes me think there may be some room on price.
- I’m located in San Francisco, so this would either be a remote purchase or I’d wait until July when I’ll actually be in Kansas City already for the World Cup and go inspect it in person.
A few questions for people who actually own these:
- Would 51k miles on a CPO Macan GTS scare you off?
- How meaningful is the Porsche CPO in terms of reducing risk on these?
- What major maintenance items should I verify have already been done around this mileage?
- If Porsche did plugs/brake fluid/etc during CPO, am I still walking into expensive 60k-mile maintenance soon?
- Would you buy this remotely if the deal got strong enough, or absolutely inspect first?
- Realistically, what would you try to negotiate this down to given the mileage/sitting time?
Appreciate any insight from people who’ve owned/driven these long term.
