New SQ5 Plus Ordered
Re: New SQ5 Plus Ordered
Called in to my local Porsche dealer today for a look at a 918 they have in the showroom and ended up almost placing an order on a Macan GTS. I probably would have if they'd had a 3.0 petrol I could have tried. I'm going to sleep on it, I need to make my mind up quick as they already have 7 deposits placed.
Re: New SQ5 Plus Ordered
What delivery time did they give? I understand numbers are limited for 2016, so likely already looking at 2017 delivery.
Not many Petrol S about! Mostly weasels.
918 is a thing of beauty.

Doodle - do they pump an engine type noise into the cabin of the Macan?

Re: New SQ5 Plus Ordered
Dealer reckons they have 7 deposits already and will get a max of 8 cars for next year. He thinks delivery will be next summer which is slightly better than a standard Macan, which he says is currently 12 months. I rang the dealer I bought my Cayman from and they also have 7 deposits but didn't think I'd have a problem getting one and said anywhere between March and August. They basically don't know a great deal until the end of the month when they get their allocation. The GTS looks the best buy as it has a much better standard spec, slightly more power and better residuals.
918 is a customers car who also owns a La Ferrari.

Re: New SQ5 Plus Ordered
Price for GTS vs S is pretty similar once boxes are ticked. I'd expect residuals to be strong, though the S isn't exactly struggling. Demand is still greater than supply. Diesel is a different matter, plenty to be had now.

You really do have a downer on the SQ5 don't you , there is no artificial sound system noise it is an actuator in the exhaust which actually sounds pretty deep and natural TBH.doodlebug wrote:Thankfully not....but they do on the SQ.

Re: New SQ5 Plus Ordered
Agree GTS do seem to be the sweet spot of any range and as you say, by the time you've specced up an S as you would want it is same money and probably better residuals, definitely if finance is your thingdoodlebug wrote:Price for GTS vs S is pretty similar once boxes are ticked.
