No margins on the electrics and no federal subsidies. They would be crazy to eliminate the V6. I hope they would go to hybrid V6
The Macan accounts for 1/3rd of all Porsche sales. Eliminating the V6 model - particularly when there is so much apathy / pushback on EV's in general - would be a high risk move for Porsche. My impression is that Porsche will be very studied on how much they are willing to rely on buyers for the Macan EV - particularly in the first year or two of its release. Volvo, Audi,VW, GM, Ford - all having big problems with EV sales.

I would say 8% to 9.75% discount on base , new 2024 Macan off the lot was realistic when I got my car in September. But market constantly changes and you should: 1) reach out to several dealers and propose what you are willing to get it for (be ready to move if they accept your offer); 2) monitor market before, during and after holidays. My dealers would tell me sometime "come at such and such time to get best deal, now is not the best time". Generally, end of the month is the best time to get the most discount on a car; 3) each model is different, base is easier to get discounted than S or GTS, since there are fewer of V6 models on the floor.
Good luck!

Which Macan did you buy?
Was wondering which Macan you purchased and from what dealership?
When I did mine I configured my Macan and emailed the Internet Sales Manager of 5 or so Dealers in the area and told them if I could get it for $X price then I’d come in and sign the papers right away. I originally picked a price 10% lower than MSRP of the config with shipping. Emailed one at a time to get a feel for the discounts. Some told me to go to hell and a few said best they could do was 7-8%. Then took the 8% offer and asked a couple other dealers if they could beat it. One came in at 8.5% and deal was done. If they say can’t meet your price then ask what’s the best they can do.
You’re just dealing with the internet sales guys and they can get back to you in an hour or faster. Email any dealership within reasonable driving distance…even in nearby states.

It was with Rusnak / 2018 S that i configured a few years ago and sent them the link. Basically just got the different dealers to keep offering their best discount and went back to the ones that would play ball. Every dealer’s first discount offer is never the best they can do. Some dealers told me to go to hell right away lol, so I stopped bothering with those ones.

Rusnak in Thousand Oaks CA?
I wonder if they would do the same for GTS?

If you go to the dealer's website there is a contact link and you can specify the sales department. Just enter your info / email address as preferred contact. In your message tell them you're looking to purchase a Macan you spec'd out and include the link to the porsche-code that you specd. I told every dealer that I was looking to get the config I specd out with taxes and delivery for $XX,XXX (I started with 11% off which was probably too high but had to start some where) and if they could get it done then I could come in and order it right away. Most could only get 8-9% off one on the lot or 6-7% of the spec build. Once they offer 7%, then ask if they can do 8. Then go to the next dealer and ask for 8.5-9 etc. It was just haggling through email. Easy to do and wasted very little time. Just find all the dealers within driving distance and use their website's contact link to have them get in touch with you.

It is funny what people think their car might sell for. When you go through the listings here in the forum, some of the cars with 5 or 10k miles are priced over MSRP or this person wants over 90k for his/her 22 Macan S with 5500 miles. It says the car has every option imaginable, which is clearly not the case, looking at those pictures. https://www.autotrader.com/marketpla...%26zip%3D90001
People need to understand that the Macan is not a rare 911 or something similar. It is a great Porsche but as soon as you leave the lot you loose 20%, and that is on top of the 10% discount you already received. Many dealerships have understood this and are pricing their lightly used Macans accordingly. If you are looking for the best deal, I would get a lightly used Macan S. Here is an example, 23 Macan S with 1100 miles for 66k: https://www.santamonicaaudi.com/used...rader_listings
Or if you want a Macan T, you can get this 23 Macan T with 1150 miles for 55k. https://www.santamonicaaudi.com/used...16afb337ce.htm

Yep, again, almost all the private listings here in the forum or anywhere else are still dreaming the pandemic market dream. The car in Fresno, is much more attractive, than the car I was talking about on autotrader. The Fresno car is almost brand new and listed for 15k less than the one on autotrader. If the autotrader guy is lucky, he will get 65k (and not 92k!!) for his car but let him dream the dream for a while. When you buy a Macan/S/GTS take into account that those cars will depreciate like crazy. I repeat again, Macan/Cayenne/Panamera/Taycan are not 911s. When you have a 911, there are completely different rules but people think Porsche is Porsche and I drive my Macan for a year or so and afterwards I list it for 15% more than I paid for and make few bucks lol
