Macan S & GTS petrol. Waiting times??
Discussion
No discount on the car but I got a good deal on the PCP finance. I got quotes from specialist finance companies who offered lower rates and was going to go for the lowest quote, then Porsche (VAG finance) undercut it to combine finance as well as selling the car. Made a big difference to the monthly payments.

Hi, do you mind me asking what sort of deal you were able to negotiate? Have been in this situation today with my OPC trying to get them to match a HP figure of 4.2%APR over 48 months. the OPC offered a PCP type arrangement at 5.9%APR. This reduced the monthly payments a little but the amount to pay at the end increased a couple of thousand.andyglos said:

Yes good assessment - my rate is closer to 5.9% than 4.2%. I promised I wouldn't disclose details of the contract, but the benefit of a PCP vs HP is the lower monthly payments and I wanted mine below £500/month on a circa £56k car.
Just do the obvious and get quotes from finance firms that specialise in PCPs, then negotiate the best deal with both them and OPC/VAG. I found they all offer the same penalty-free terms for early settlement. So the only possible benefit of using VAG, whether BS is TBD, is that they said they track market value of each model.and therefore calculate optimum point within the term to flip the car. They commit to contact you just before that time. Let's see. Knowing you're unlikely to go full term means mileage no longer really matters and hence you can further reduce your monthlies.

Thanks for the replies.
"Knowing you're unlikely to go full term means mileage no longer really matters and hence you can further reduce your monthlies."
Yep, this became apparent when doing the figures as I will either flip before the term ends or else but outright so mileage doesn't become an issue and my quote was on 5k per year.
Am interested how they negotiate different rates on PCP if it is a VAG/Porsche product........
I guess a few freebies could sweeten the deal and make me more inclined to go down the OPC route. Time for a spot of negotiating I feel.....

Is it the Turbo Performance? I think I would be pushing them if you already haven't as it seems they are in limited supply. My OPC only getitng 3 and mine was the 3rd. I upgraded my order from a Turbo when the Performance model was announced.
Good luck,
Paul
Hi Paul. I ordered it as a Turbo on the basis of upgrading it to and 'S' or 'PP' when it was announced. Changed the order the day it was announced, but it appears they have only had one or two and I wasn't 'first on the list'. I bought a 911 from another OPC which caused a bit of relationship wobble last September and I think I may have been bumped back because of that.Good luck,
Paul
Have rebuilt the relationship since and traded the Macan GTS and bought a BGTS but can't get a confirmed date on the Turbo PP. I'm pushing but being told to be patient! Easier said than done. 😂
