Subject to inspection, the supplying dealer is buying back my Macan GTS. Their offer equates to 36% depreciation in 3.5 years and 13k miles...it’s due a major service in 6 months, a warranty will be applied, and re listed at approx £10k more than I’m being paid. Or so I was told. Currently only 9 GTS listed on the Porsche U.K. pre owned site, some poverty spec, others on the unnecessary 21” rims so quite a rare motor.
I’ve no intention of advertising it on AT and getting the ‘wrong kind’ of folks taking an interest. It goes away, gets checked over, and the money appears in my bank account.
Financially a big hit, as expected, but worth every single penny. An absolutely fabulous car, sensibly specced on standard wheels with no silly frippery, practical, docile around town with an amazing PDK gearbox, stupendous acceleration and handling with great build quality, the GTS is acknowledged as being the sweet spot in the range, but time to move on.
I’m sleeping on it for 48 hours. Every time I get in it, fire up the V6, listen to the exhaust gurgle for 30 seconds before it settles down, it still gives me that ear to ear grin like a lunatic.
Something different next...but I wouldn’t discount an older 911 at some point in future. No pockets in shrouds.
