2017 Porsche Macan CPO

Hi, looking for some guidance on what to aim for for a 2017 Macan CPO in terms of negotiating price?

On the dealership websites, 2017 CPOs go for $3k off of original price with 6k mi on them.

I’ve never shopped Porsche so i wanted to see if anybody knows what to aim for?

Check market pricing. KBB, CarGurus, etc. Obviously, 3% off is absurd, but you would have to check the market to determine fair pricing.

18 is a refresh so I’d want a decent amount off. Which Macan trim?

Base Macan with Connect module (Apple Car Play) and Porsche Entry & Drive. He doesn’t care about any other options.

The 2017 and 2018 Macan are the same exact car, it is not a refresh.

In 2015, the car debuted with the S and Turbo Models.
In 2017, they changed the PCM interface and they also added the base and GTS trim.

Those are the only changes to the model other than minor things like certain options or exterior/interior colors being added or discontinued.
I work in Porsche Sales.

from what i read the facelift will happen in 2019 as of recent posts. Back in April they were discussing facelifts for 2018 models but i can’t confirm.

so I was just told that Porsche can basically CPO any demo/loaner/lightly used Macan for an extra $2000.
Anybody ever heard of this?

I had a Caddy dealer tell me they can CPO just about anything “All we have to do is pay $x,xxx”. Sounds like they’re paying for the extended warranty so you don’t have to. Sort of.

Cost of CPO is prob 1 labor hr to the dealership. Def suspect. I’m going to insist on having them “throw in the CPO for free” lol

Doesn’t the CPO come with an extended warranty behind the regular warranty? I thought that most of “the cost” is associated with extended warranty coverage

they claim its some sort of process they do to the car to verify it meets “CPO” standards.

Cars do get rejected for CPO. Some stuff (like too many painted panels) disqualify the car outright and other things (like a broken convertible top or mismatched tires) just need to be fixed/replaced to be up to CPO standards.
A 2017, however, shouldn’t need anything since it’s still under factory warranty and the brakes/tires should be good if the mileage is low.

If it meets CPO standards after a Technician inspects/fixes it, the dealer can pay Porsche for the extended warranty.
There is an actual cost to the dealer so no one is “throwing it in for free” unless you were not getting a good deal to begin with.
