Has anyone actually bought a Macan EV and what discount?
Discussion
Be good to keep track of what people are managing to achieve, either new or used.
Now 178 on AT. A few started to be discounted.
A long way to go for the market based on the threads in this group!
What level of discount did you, or would you need to buy?

Seems like the type of car that should be £60k, maybe £70k at a push yet they're always 20-30k more than you expect.
I bet they're only selling to SS customers and even then I bet they're eye watering.
Yeah I think my wallet is waiting for them to be 60s or low 70s for a loaded turbo.I bet they're only selling to SS customers and even then I bet they're eye watering.
4S would then be a better value in the 40/50s.
Market correction is happening.

I think your right in that point
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.
Do you think, the numbers available on AT and porche site do not seem to be dropping?If they are, I do hope they will post!

Give them your number and note to call if they want to sell one
Definitively a Buyer's market right now, and things won't get better for them.
How far off was their offer from what you wanted them to accept?
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.

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 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?
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?

I’ve been getting update emails daily on new Macan added to the web site and there must be 40+ added weekly.
I did drive a Macan 4 but it was very low spec. I liked it and would buy one but not at anything over £70k.
With the 75 plates out 1st March we will see another bunch of cars pre registered and dropped onto AT etc.
And still their finance rates are high at 9.9% too where others are as low as 7.9% and should the BoE drop the rate this week that may encourage a further drop.
I’m holding out but am also looking at E-Hybrid Cayenne.
The E-Hybrid Cayenne looks good, but the BIK is pretty high, will cost you a lot more personally (if buying through a business, is personal, ignore me! )I did drive a Macan 4 but it was very low spec. I liked it and would buy one but not at anything over £70k.

287 on AT!
I just collected a Volvo EX40 Twin Ultra. 3 months old, 3k miles. 61k list, 45k to us.
Seems lovely and we may well change for a Macan in the future, but only if they drop a lot, they are just too overpriced for the market. The Volvo is less than half the price for a similar specced 4S/Turbo (accepting the Macan is a Porsche, better interior and ride and all that lovely stuff)

Need to buy a new one for tax benefit sadly. Spoke to the sales bloke I know fairly well at OPC November delivery for one to spec which really surprised me ! I think there are quite a lot around though has you guys have said.
You get the same tax savings on a used one and you ll avoid an instant £30k in depreciation.The only real difference? Cashflow.

That's is wrong. You must be the first owner from new (although it can be a demo) to get the full financial benefit.
Used EVs give you the same total tax savings as new ones — the real differences are cashflow timing and depreciation risk.New EV (Ltd Co):
– You can claim 100% First Year Allowance (FYA) to deduct the full cost from profits in year 1.
– But when you sell it, HMRC claws back part of the saving via a balancing charge (sale price gets added back to profits).
– And a new EV can easily lose £20–30k in depreciation in the first few years — wiping out much of the benefit.
Used EV (Ltd Co):
– No FYA, but you get 18% writing down allowance per year (WDA), spread over time.
– No balancing charge later — the tax relief is more gradual but more predictable.
– And the worst of the depreciation has already happened — so in real terms, it may cost you less overall.
The total corporation tax relief is the same, just timed differently.
