Yes. The build is also showing in TYD, albeit with errors (the shadow of the vehicle I can see is the one I’ve built). I have purchased from this dealer before, although nothing fancy (just an ICE Macan). It is an extremely small dealer.

Do you think I should have concerns? The lack of deposit is concerning to me, although I know it doesn’t mean much until I sign the paperwork.

I wouldn't be too concerned if you've done business with them before.

I'm probably overtly cautious because the GT car game can be very unpleasant. It's common for dealer to put V070 orders in to the system which have no ties to an actual allocation. I'm conditioned by that world.

$5k deposit for one dealer, $2.5k for another. Fully refundable.

Same here. No deposit. I requested a Macan Turbo at MSRP and they sent me the build sheet the next day. It doesn't mention ADM so hope I don't walk into the dealership with an ADM attached to the sticker.

I'd be shocked if there will be ADMs for the Macan.

They are, just not lately. Custom builds are just stuff they dont have to spec themselves for order that they're getting regardless. Infact, I remember with BMW they were willing to give the exact same discount on a special order if I didn't want one on the lot. They literally did not care which way I went

There should be zero chance of that. EV's are tough sells. I would expect discounts well below msrp once the initial hype wears off.

I once negotiated the purchase of a new BMW and, while the car was waiting for me to pick up, the rep called to say there would be an additional $300 fee for "special color." I reminded her the color was Black. She then agreed I could have the car at the original price. I told her she could keep the car, and they refunded my deposit (as required by law).

I'm sorry to say the dealer that sold me my 2019 Macan made it difficult for me to get out of some kind of theft protection service scam and a plastic coating over the hood in which I had no interest. It's a dirty business, perhaps more at the high end.

Thanks to C.J. Ichiban and our other supporting dealerships who are now selling them at MSRP — not playing games with us. I will be reaching out to you later if my local Porsche dealer gets greedy.

Any idea what rebates might be available for the Macan EV? Will the $7500 Fed Rebate apply?

Edit** nevermind, I think the MSRP is too high for those incentives.

I think the work around for the Taycan is to lease the car for the $7500 rebate.

I am reading that some in Europe are seeing price increases on builds. It is unclear if this is due to a model year change from 24 to 25 or if it applies to the early orders.

Who knows. I know when the GT4RS was released in Canada for the first week it was about 160k and that quickly changed. Fast forward to today and it's 213k starting price.

They could briefly have more initial demand than expected in areas and adjusted prices in those markets, but I'd be really surprised since this thing is a EV and they gotta know initial demand may be ok, but it's probably not going to last and heavy discounts will be the norm eventually.
