With Macan trade in values being so high and waiting lists so long do you think it's possible to run one for bugger all cost?

i.e.: Order one wait until delivery and then order the next one.

When the second one comes trade in the first one for close to list and order a third one

and so on and so on.

Are trade in values that strong and how long will it continue?

Sorry if this has been debated before but I couldn't find such a discussion when I searched.

Well I've had mine 7 months and been told I can get my money back if I wanted to sell so the short answer is yes. This situation won't last forever though.

Yes if you'd ordered 12-18 months ago, no if you order one today for delivery in 12-18 months!

The petrol one I had as a loan car was a thirsty article, so I think depreciation might be low, but 'bugger all costs' may not be possible.

I've had mine since July and am in the queue for a 2nd one so I hope so. Unfortunately I was quoted a 2 year wait for the 2nd so likely 2nd half of 2016 delivery.

Given the performance they aren't too thirsty. 400bhp and 22-25mpg isnt too bad. Servicing is every 2 years / 20000 miles so there's no tyres, consumables or servicing in that time, just fuel.

I don't know if I am missing something but Porsche must loose so much by not having the capacity to build more cars.

Not enough Cayman gt4s and GTS models,

2 year wait for a Macan!?!?
