Yes, Diesel sales may have slowed, but they certainly haven't stopped.
In fact, they are still loved by many, so with no current new supply, good examples should be very sought after.
I posted the other day in the Cayenne thread. I’ve got a 2017 Cayenne S Diesel and looked at the AUC site to see what it’s currently worth....there are only 12 post 2016 cars on the site. I certainly am holding on to ours because there is no Diesel in the current range and looks like I am not alone. In fact, they are still loved by many, so with no current new supply, good examples should be very sought after.
So just an update for those who are selling soon, the car went to WBAC for about £1k less than I was advertising it for.
They took off £260 for 2 small scratches from their online valuation.
They sold it to a local dealer at auction - no idea how much for.
I have been keeping my eye on it and they listed it on their website a few days ago and its already showing as sold. Their asking price was £4k above what WBAC paid me. So all in all I am happy I listed it for the right money, it just seems no one wants to buy a car like that from a private seller at the moment even if it does save them quite a chunk of money.
HTH!

Thanks for the update, do you mind listing the year, engine and miles, I'm in 2 minds to buy one this weekend, and it would be useful to know what the trade values are. cheers

kers scaremongering ruining peoples car values We just bought a late January 2019 2000 mile ex-demo 2.0 for my Mrs.
One of the best spec’d cars we had seen by a long, long way (a completely full page of ticked boxes!) and the car was originally £61000 plus on the road. Black/black so not a crazy colour scheme and we got that for £50500 to include a track day and Swissvax.
She’s very happy with the engine, I appreciate its not to everyone’s taste but it goes well enough for the school run and seems nippy enough. The diesel S is a great engine but she only wanted the facelift and currently there are no 3.0 petrol Macans around. We were offered an amazing deals with silky discounts by a couple of dealerships on a new car either 2L or 3L but with no build slot for 3-6 months minimum and she didn’t want to wait that long.
I would say having just got rid of her X3 and my X5 50d (I’ve got an F90 M5 now) the interior of the Macan is a lovely place to sit. The technology is great and build quality seems to be right up with and possibly better than any of the best mainstream manufacturers.
Porsche have certainly moved on since the days of my 996 and 997 that’s for sure.

I had a 2.0 Macan loan car recently which was really well specced....I thought it was great as long as you didn’t rev it and drove it on the torque. That engine doesn’t sound very Porsche when you stretch it....but then neither does the engine in my wife’s 718 Boxster!
I think the interior quality is miles ahead of the opposition. I had a look at a Q7 and Q8 a couple of weeks ago....I think Audi’s interiors have gone backwards....feels closer to VW in build quality than Porsche. Although you do need the leather interior in a Macan or Cayenne so maybe that is not totally fair.

Yes diesel.
Wbac offer seemed ok but I guess they whack the price down when you turn up ?
Had the opposite where I got more than the online quote for my Macan (Diesel - sold in Jan '19)Wbac offer seemed ok but I guess they whack the price down when you turn up ?

Can you drop me a PM with a bit of info. My dealer would not move on price at all and quotes absurdly long lead times. rosino said:

Can you drop me a PM with a bit of info. My dealer would not move on price at all and quotes absurdly long lead times. I ended up ordering one new in end.. June/July delivery hopefully. Most of the OPCs are already on Sep delivery. Lot's of 2.0 around, not so many 3.0 as it's newer of course. Some sold within ours of the OPC mentioning they had come in stock.
Looked at used but it's really spec-dependent.. petrol and good specs holding up pretty well I have to say with GTS almost irrationally so.. but few cars really properly specc'ed.. i have a feeling ppl go for 21' and sunroof before really considering anything else..
As I am a bit OCD I looked at some stats for Spec on Macans for sale on Autotrader.. especially of things I would think are a must/interesting to have. This is an approximation based on key words. As I am not THAT OCD..
% of cars that come with :
- Pan Roof 66%
- Parking Camera (any type) 56%
- Bose 37%
- PASM (inc Air) 35%
- Chrono 21%
- PTV 14%
- PSE 12%
- Lane Change Assist 9%
I find remarkable that people would go for Bose over PASM for example. Interesting that Chrono has such a low take-up.. whilst I would go for PTV and Pasm over Bose and Chrono everyday.. especially as you still get Sport button as standard anyways.. and not sure I will be launching my Macan very often either..
Would like to also get a fell for the real FULL Leather but very hard, as most list full leather even when it's just the intermediate package. But my gut feeling would be 10-20% not more from what I have seen.
Colours :
- Black 27%
- Grey 24%
- White 16%
- Blue 16% (mostly Sapphire, few Night Blue)
- Silver 7.5% (quite low for Silver I would have thought..)
- Rest... 9.5%
At the bottom a cool 1% in Brown.. which I have to say in some shade of light is passable but in all the others just looks brown and the wife cried in horror at the prospect of it (there's an amazing spec Turbo for sale sub 50k in brown..).
(edited to add Bose take-up)

Surely the best option on a Macan would be PTS ?
It's one of the nicest looking SUVs, but I hardly ever see one and think, wow that looks really nice - because they are all in run-of-the-mill colours - blacks/greys/silvers/blues. Carmine looks good on the GTS models and Graphite can work, but there could be so many better options. Land Rover do the colour thing better than Porsche.
