I've been casually looking for a Macan. Like maybe in 2024.

2023 Macan base. 3900 miles. Ex service loaner but it's very clean. Just serviced. $71,900 MSRP with a bunch of options on it including adaptive air suspension and the premium plus package, 20 inch wheels, ventilated seats, adaptive cruise. Offered up at $59,900. CPO through January 2029. Balance of factory plus 2 years and unlimited mileage. The Porsche CPO warranty is ridiculously thorough.

Another dealer has the same exact build for $69,900.

They offered $20,500 for my GLI which nets me $21,850 with the sales tax savings. At $22,000 trade in I was signing the paperwork but they let me walk.
Carvana is at $19,800 on my GLI and I only paid $21,700 for it in March 2020.

What kind of asshole buys two Porsches in a summer?

Technically only one Porsche. You already have a real one, the other is an SUV (a tarted up Tiguan/Q5).

Yeah, are they less catastrophically awful than the Tiguan? I've occasionally thought about getting something slightly larger than my Golf R (especially after trying to wrangle two bikes into the back this morning...) and the Macan would be a fun, if very expensive, option, but I've always assumed that it would turn into a money pit. And this coming from a VW owner.

I wouldn't want to own one out of warranty for a daily driver. They are pretty reliable but nothing is cheap to fix, either.

As a compromise, I would consider the Audi SQ5, or even a Q5, with the older supercharged motor. Lets put it in perspective, these are SUV's, you're not going to be setting lap-times in it, are you? Just the tires on these things are expensive (never mind the brakes & pads). And I would absolutely stay away from air-suspension in anything. Its not a matter of if it breaks, but when.

I just want an RS3 Sportback but sadly doesn't seem to be coming to the US.

I drove the older RS3 sedan, and it was pretty damn awesome. If the new one is as good as they say it is, I would get one while it still exists. Shit, get the RS6 (with the sport suspension, not the air) if you have the means, that thing looks like a beast. Saw one on the NYS Throughway all murdered out and it looked badass.

This belongs to a very good friend of mine in ATL. Ordered a 2022 and ended up getting a 2023 model for the same price. Took 7 months to get here.

Red is not my thing but he needed more room from his 2019 M4 to haul the kids around. He hates the new BMW design so much he bought this instead. And he kept the M4.
