Don't care! The PP option is WARRANTED because it's performed by Porsche. The Cobb tune kills your warranty. Sorry. Too much risk should something go wrong your fault or not.

Not saying there aren't reasons to get a PP if you can find one you like, but the actual differences between the PP and a well equipped Turbo are minimal.

The PP is a 1-off in this sense: it will be seen in time as the best one Porsche ever built from a design perspective. Reason? The 3.6L TT engine. This was discussed somewhere else. The 3.6L engine was the ONLY engine designed and built by Porsche. Not Audi. ALL other engines, including the current product line of Porsche Macans, are made by Audi. Not Porsche. Only the 3.6L was theirs. And, so if you could find a 2018 Macan TT w/PP, w/VTC, w/PP, 18-way seats, AS, PSE, ceramic brakes, etc, etc you would have the ideal Porsche. This one is not that far off. Not for the money and bragging rights.

Of course, that's just my opinion; I could be wrong - Anyone? Dennis Miller, 500 Pound Gorilla....

Agreed, if there is one Macan to have in the long run it is the Turbo PP.

The non-PP Turbo has the same 3.6L TT engine...

This is a nice build. If it suits your needs I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Another price drop to $88,500. It was originally listed at ~ $99K.

Just mentioning this for comparison's sake, a low mileage Turbo PP (Carmine Red, decent options...but don't recall the details) recently sold at a BMW dealer in Maryland at $70k after sitting in the dealer's inventory for months and starting at a much higher asking price than what it ultimately sold for.

That would be a great deal even w/o CPO IMHO. Lotta CUV for that $$.

I think I remember seeing someone post about that one.

Wasn't there something weird about it (high miles, accident, etc...)?

I’m pretty sure that one had a accident reported on the CarFax.

IIRC it was reported to have minor cosmetic front end damage, no airbag deployment (parking lot damage or similar maybe?). If that's the case, $70k for that one was still probably a great deal.

Now at 87.5K, just shy of 3 months after 'digits' traded it in.
I wonder if it's the interior color? Or the lack of sunroof or the walnut trim?
I'm in the market for a Turbo with PP but other then this one the others have lipstick read interior which is a no go. A really nice white one in Spokane but with red seating which i could not live with. And i think another one or 2 out there that i have seen but the same red inside.

And for what its worth, i live in the Seattle area and agree with the prior posts about this Porsche store not being the most warm and fuzzy. Probably better then the Auto Nation store in Bellevue but not by much.

Any leads on a nice white turbo w/PP, cf trim inside and lower miles would be appreciated!

I think it's sitting because the new one is out and the dealer is asking a lot of coin for a used one.

Hindsight being close to 100% , and IIRC, my early comment @$85K would have been a smart deal for both seller and buyer sounds...close??
