Porsche's lease rates are notoriously unfriendly, so if he's interested in keeping one long term, he may want to consider buying. I'm seeing discussion of discounts of 5% - 8% on new vehicles on (ahem) the Macan Forum's "List Your Discount" thread.

Was just at my local dealer today test driving a Macan GTS. We did a build that came out to about $81k. Not ready to pull the trigger,so didn’t do any haggling or anything, he just suggested running the numbers on a lease with 15k/year versus purchasing. His sale price was $77. Monthly lease payment with $5k down (I would only pay fees and taxes, nothing towards cap cost, but did this just to see) was about $1150ish. 72 month finance with same $5k down came out to about $1250ish/month. I would negotiate sale price down just a little if I could, and maybe do 60months finance versus 72, but these are some numbers to get started fwiw. I don’t have monthly residuals or MF available off hand.
It may not pertain as much to the 4cylinder Macan, but something to consider is the theory that the GTS would likely hold more value over time, and may be more worth purchasing (cash or finance).

Leasing a Macan just doesn't make much sense unless you can write it off for business (and then it can be an attractive option vs. the depreciation limitations for business use, but there are still several variables to consider like business usage % etc). The money factor is generally just too high with Porsche leases.
The Macan holds its resale value, so you are better off to just finance it over 60 or 72 months if you are trying to keep the payment down, and then sell it after three years if you really don't want to keep it long-term.

Agreed; if you can write it off then it makes since otherwise better to buy. I did a GT3 lease for two years, but I have my own business so I could write off most of the monthly payments. Then purchased it at the end of two years and only paid sales tax on what I paid.... Porsche lease had value deprecated about 50K below what I could have sold it for.

When it came to our Macan, we initially signed onto a lease, but decided very soon it would have been better to have purchased it, so we got a loan and ended the lease.
