Looking at buying a 2019 S off Carvana
Looking at buying a 2019 S from Caravan and wondering what to watch for. Any known issues with them? This will be my first Macan so looking for direction. It had the 60k mile done at Porsche dealership and has all service records from Porsche dealer. . 2 owner.

The only thing to look for is what month/year this vehicle was built in. There was a small batch of defective pistons that went into the 3.0 L engines between June 2019 and September 2019. If the car was built in those months I would avoid it.
There is a sticker on the driver side door jam which will list month and year in the usual four digit mm/yy format.

No, that's why I highlighted it as a big reason to not buy a vehicle from that time.
It is your decision but if one of those pistons crack it is a full motor replacement costing $30,000 easy.
Check the sticker on the door or look up the VIN at an online site and see when the car was made.
