2017 CPO Turbo
Saw a Macan Turbo at a local dealer in my area. Priced at $65k with just over 20k miles. Attached is the options list. It doesnt have Premium or Premium Plus. That means it doesnt have Entry and Drive which kind of sux. Anything else glaring that 5is car is missing? What about pricing? Opinions are appreciated. Thanks!!

It looks like a nice build to me too. The price seems real good. I just paid 66,500 for a loaded GTS with 11K miles on it that is CPO for 4 years of warranty. Prices seems high compared to the Turbo price, but it was a spotless, no issues Macan that looked like it never left the showroom. Carmine Red, 18 ways seats, full leather, heated wheel, sport mirrors and the rest of the usual stuff. Good luck.

Agree with all of this, was thinking the same. You'll probably regret not having CarPlay (assuming you're an iPhone person). As for the price, a bit high compared to Turbo comps I've seen recently, but not too bad, especially if it's CPO.

The only thing I saw possibly missing were 18-way seats. But some like em and some don't. Looks like a hellofa deal. But DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Carfax, Autocheck (get both). Where was it? What states (flooding, salt)? How many miles when first titled (it will tell whether it was a demo car for the first few thousand miles). How many owners? More than two, walk away!
-Before you sign for it, get a copy of all service records. Anything there for repeat issues like the same thing over and over again? Any big ticket issues (TC, PDK issues)?
-Before you sign for it, request a oil/filter change (baseline it!). Bring a good flashlight with you and ask to look at the underside specifically looking at the front driver's side of the engine. Look for any oil seepage.
-Before you sign for it, get it fixed.
And at 20K miles, personally I would get a TC and PDK fluid change. Again, you are baselining your car going forward. If you have the coin, get a brake fluid flush and a differential fluid flush also. Check the brake pads front AND rear. This way, when you drive off the lot you KNOW what you just bought. Plugs you can do yourself. It looks very straight forward.
GL! Let us know what you decide.

Thanks for the great insight. I've decided to pass. While it's well equipped, it has stuff I wouldn't have chosen - sport design and those particular wheels- and is missing some key options. No entry and drive, while it sounds silly is a deal breaker at this price point. No car play isn't a deal breaker, but come on - it's a 2017 car! I'm coming out of an Audi A8, which has everything so that's my reference point for equipment.
