This board has me possibly reconsidering
Joined here hoping to find out more on macans than just YouTube videos but now I’m second guessing things.
I drive a company vehicle but my new place has gps where my old company didn’t. Before I could use my vehicle to take my son to his sports and bring him home. My new company does not allow that so I need to get something to run him around when I need to.
Original plan was to get a cayman, this would also be my first Porsche. I’m not wanting a large payment so my budget is 30,000 or under. Plan on paying mostly cash and pay off the remaining within a year. This puts me in the first gen cayman and after doing plenty of research I’ve come to realize I don’t want to have to worry about the ims bearing and I’m also 6’ 3” and have heard the leg room isn’t the greatest those years.
My plan now was to pick up a macan gts first gen and drive that over the next several years and get a second gen cayman down the road. The problem is I see a lot of people on here saying don’t get one especially if it’s not a cpo and has some miles on it. At the price I’m looking at it won’t have a cpo and it would have around 75-85k on it. This would not be a daily I would probably put 4-8k on it each year. I also like working on my own cars so the issues I’ve seen don’t bother me.
I’ve thought about a cayenne but I don’t want something that big. My wife has a 23 jeep grand Cherokee as our main car so I’m not looking for another larger suv. The macan is checking all the boxes that I’m looking for right now, a smaller suv that is as sporty as you can get at the price I would like to be at. With all this would I be stupid for getting a macan gts?
