I do indeed know how it was treated. It was purchased from the original owner, a retired very well-off Porsche enthusiast (he had 4 other Porsches) who kept meticulous records of everything. I have the binder of service records since new. All services performed at the dealer and documented, including dozens of $600 oil changes. He was selling this one because he was about to purchase a new one. Car was garaged its entire life and was in showroom condition.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. What's a comparable SUV that you would choose as an alternative?
High mileage reliability is not in Porsche's dictionary and they like to charge as much as owners can pay.

There is a huge negative bias on all internet car forums. For every "issue" there are literally dozens and dozens of the exact same car with zero issues.
You should buy a GTS. They are great SUVs. The newer the better. That is how German cars are. The line improves over time.

Love my Macan.
Aware of the issues and unconcerned.
They are blown way out of proportion, much of which is instigated by the factory and dealers.

Remember "WE" are a small percentage of the Macan owners...Most never heard of the Rennlist...and "WE" are the vocal ones...probably most owners are very happy with the Macans

Keeping my V8 Touareg with air suspension forever! The 2020 Macan S... we'll see; wife wants a Subaru. The 992 just finished its 4 year warranty and will be switched out for a 71 Cuda 383 or 426 Hemi MT in good time (very specific requirements to take me back to my twenties, AM radio and 8 track of course), done with the BS @P & dealerships.
