New 2018 Porsche Macan Sport Edition
MSRP $66,460

Trying to negotiate this deal in WA state:
So far I got down to $844 tax included/mo; 36 months/12k, drive off $6500 including all the fees, licenses, etc.

Markdown: ~$5000 (part of the negotiation over the phone, the exact amount is unknown)

Money factor: .0026

Residual percentage: 56%

Still in the process of bringing it down to 810/mo. The dealer is angry and not budging yet.

What do you guys think?
Appreciate any input except:
Don’t want to finance Porsche, don’t want Audi SQ5. Audi is nothing like Porsche, it feels more like GLC 300 to me.
Thank you.

Your effective payment is over $1,000/month. These cars really do not lease well.

You’re trying to hack a deal on a brand known for its poor leases, on one of the models with the worst numbers, and in one of the toughest areas in the country to negotiate with some of the highest registration fees. Good luck

This might end up in the “worst leases you have seen” thread. OUCH!

Why would you not just finance it?

Looks like this is your dream car. It doesn’t matter what we think here. Numbers are horrendous but as long as you are happy it’s fine!

For Porsche have you considered $0 DAS because they have 12 mo pull a head program.

Thank you all for your feedback! Im feeling much better walking away from that deal:)
Will be considering to settle for something less dreamy and less pricey in a Porsche family.

Don’t need to be a mod to do it. Moved.

Is the 2018 a new generation of the Macan or is that the 2019? The CPO program at Porsche seems great, so if the car is an older gen then I’d go that route.

Best bought CPO.

This engine trim places it at the lowest rung of Porsche vehicles. Not sure how much lower you can go at Porsche.

You may need to adjust your expectations or simply pay out the rear for it. Or buy CPO. Recommend ‘17 Macan S CPO with lower mileage.

This car is so not worth that.

Let’s see.

  1. Last year 2018 model. Redesign is coming in a few months.
  2. Macan Sport. More expensive than the S but with the 2.0 engine.
  3. Don’t like Audi but the Macan is on the old SQ5 platform. New SQ5 platform is vastly improved.
  4. Don’t want to finance but ok with lease payment the same as finance payment.
  5. Scare of angry dealer about another $1200 discount on an already overpriced deal.

Didn’t know that, will remember for future lol

Ok here comes crystal balls.

Have you tried an X6?
Do you like diesel?

The Macan is nice but not that nice.

They may share platforms (Q5 shares platform with SQ5), but the driving experience between the two is vastly different.

Transmissions are also different. The architecture, power plant, and maybe some control arms is about all they have in common. The rest is sourced from other cars.

I wouldn’t consider an SQ5 a cheaper Macan S.

We already had this conversation, Stinger!

Did we really? Man, I’m getting old…

I absolutely agree with StingerTT ! It is not only about the platform. The driving experience between Macan and SQ5 is very different. I test drove SQ5 2019. Apart from driving, inside it looks just like GCL 300 and contains many features that I hate about GLC.
I have never said I was scared of the dealer. I just said that my negotiation process made them mad.
