Sorry to be that guy. 718S owner looking to add a Macan S to replace my wife's refrigerator on wheels (white Acura MDX). I was going to spec and order a car, but found something 99% identical to my configurator build in regional inventory. I'm in the greater Philadelphia area. The car I'm looking at is a new 2020 Macan S. MSRP is $75,300. I would be adding roof rails and a tow hitch, so figure MSRP at about $76k. Car has a build date of 6/19, so has been on dealer lot for 8 - 9 months. Dealer inventory overall has about 35 Macans (six 2020 S) with some of the base models including MY 2018 leftovers. I'm a win-win type - not looking to hold them over a barrel, but like any sensible person want to get the best reasonable deal possible. What do people think is a decent % off MSRP on this? TIA for replies.

7% but skip the Macan S and go straight to a GTS. more equipment, more power, about the same price as an S, just a lower discount.

We ordered our 2020 S last year and got 8% off. I would imagine a car sitting on the lot should be discounted 8%. Also, be sure to check into adding roof rails. I read somewhere roof rails cannot be added. They had to be done at the factory.

yeah..2nd the roof rails. Cannot add side rails after (unless of course you source a customizer shop to pull your headliner and do it custom).

Thanks all. GTS to my spec is about $6k more than S; good to know about the roof rails. Might just go ahead with an order; the 7-8% figure is helpful.

Correct, was going to mention the same for OEM rails. There my be aftermarket roof rail options though, but I’m not sure on that?

As a side note, large discounts on Macans may be hard to get. My dealer is not getting any more Macans ( other than the Macans that were already ordered) until January 2021. My dealer is happy to sit on the inventory. They know SUVs will sell. Your dealer with 35 Macans could be facing a shortage?

9 mos on the lot and 2021's coming in with record unemployment. If you're not aiming for 10-12% you're missing out
