If 2018 or earlier there are a few; TCC oil leakage which can be as easy as a couple of replacement bolts to as extensive as dropping the engine. Cost from limited to as much as $15,000; Transfer case failure; Could be nothing if under the special extended warranty to much more depending on who is doing the work; PDK transmission; Depending on the problem as much as replacement cost for the entire transmission. Porsche considers this unrepairable in many instances. Maybe $35,000 tops?
Many of the members here would recommend an extended warranty on any used Macan.

transfer case dysfunction; it bucks from pulling away at slow speeds
front case oil leak; have to put your eyes on the bottom of the engine to see.

trim and headlights may have fine cracks.

any pdk could in theory go bad. when it gets real hot, it shifts itself in sports mode regardless if you're in sport mode or not. freaky,
but something it does.
worry about possible high dollar repairs; after market warranty is decent at about 1200/year. or put that money away each year if you
are going to own it for long.
