New Macan EV for sale on OPC with 5% discount already before you even put a foot in the door and start a conversation
This is why I asked the question to start this thread. Who’s getting what discounts and buying. My local dealer would not entertain a Taycan like discount. So guess I need to hit the phone or my current strategy is to sit back and wait …New Macan EV for sale on OPC with 5% discount already before you even put a foot in the door and start a conversation
This week, I approached three dealers with stock of used Turbos that meet my minimum spec and expressed interest in buying.
The cars are currently priced about £5–10k below their original cost new. To summarise the dealers’ responses, all insisted their cars were priced competitively and represented a great deal. While they mentioned they could reduce the price slightly if I acted quickly, they were firm about not offering deeper discounts, particularly not at percentages comparable to those seen with the Taycan.
It does make me wonder when the dam will finally crack. For now, I’ll continue waiting and checking in every few weeks.

The frustrating thing is that somehow, people will be getting these cars "cheap". Quite how you can make that happen for yourself is something of mystery.Sheepshanks said:

How far off was their offer from what you wanted them to accept?

Non-Porsche, but I don't think I've ever had a dealer call when I've left my details. Trying to buy a £30-£40K EV for one of my daughters recently was very frustrating, Some of the cars we looked at would drop over a few weeks to the price I offered, but still no call. One thing I was told a couple of times at different dealer groups, is "pricing is set by group".
Look at where iPace pricing is now they need to get them shifted.

I approached my local OPC at the end of December and offered (a Taycan like) 28% off list for a nearly new high spec Macan 4. No interest at all, their response was that Taycan levels of depreciation were like the Panamera i.e. related to the type of car - they expected nothing like that level of depreciation on the new Macan.The cars are currently priced about £5–10k below their original cost new.

The car, which was at 6% off at the time of my visit, is now 11% off and still unsold.
The best ex-dem nearly new price I have seen advertised was a high spec 4 at 17.5% off, which sold the following day.
I might bite at 20% off. Am I being reasonable?

I'm thinking along the same lines as you...The car, which was at 6% off at the time of my visit, is now 11% off and still unsold.

I did indeed leave on good terms and say call me if anything changes. Definitively a Buyer's market right now, and things won't get better for them.

So the Turbos seem to be around 110-114k specced, now down to 100-104. So, at this stage I asked wil they do similar percentage that we see on the taycan. I think these will be a sensible buy at 75-80k. Anything more, and I think you will loose that as soon as you drive off. But of course I could be wrong and there market may start buying at 90k. So minimum 10k off, or 20-25k more. With Taycans having 40-70k off, feels about right for the Macan.

No wonder they’ve delayed the Boxster/Cayman EV launch.
Totally unrealistic targets being set by Governments re EV sales is only going to go one way.
I have zero desire to buy any EV until I have no choice.

This is exactly like my experience! The car, which was at 6% off at the time of my visit, is now 11% off and still unsold.

So what is the list price, and then the 20% - is this now in the £50-55k range?
After my experience with the Taycan I wasn't keen on repeating the experiment with a Macan when looking for a new EV for work duties, but that decision is mainly down to the dismal range of Taycan, myriad recalls, as well as the overall cost of ownership. Would have to be a lease for Macan for me and I suspect that the catastrophic financials are baked into whatever deals might be available?

New Macan EV for sale on OPC with 5% discount already before you even put a foot in the door and start a conversation
There's quite a few cars with 5%-10% off. If you look on the Porsche website, find a car, scroll down to "See in Configurator". This shows you the list price if you'd spec'd it with Porsche. My Turbo was listed in the Dealer network (i.e. not advertised) at ~£2k less than list. Then I get a few £k off that.New Macan EV for sale on OPC with 5% discount already before you even put a foot in the door and start a conversation
