Before I order a 25 Macan 4S, please help with 2 questions re price and software

[joebruin77]

Hi everyone,
I have a 6 year old Tesla Model 3 Performance and I am planning on selling it and buying a 25 Macan 4S. I am new to Porsche and am hoping you can help me with a couple of important questions:

I understand the 25 is in short supply and I need to order my Macan at my local dealership. How is the sales price determined? Do most dealerships sell you an ordered Macan at MSRP? Are dealerships charging added markup above MSRP? Are any socal dealerships offering any kind of discount (I am guessing no, but thought I would ask anyway)?

Also, have the software bugs been worked out since the car was introduced in 2024, or should I wait another year to allow for further debugging before I purchase one?

Thank you,
Joe

You could get a tiny discount on a 4 in SoCal. Maybe 1.5 or 2%. No discounts anywhere on a Turbo or 4S. Do not pay anything above MSRP.

Plenty of people still haven't received their cars because of the software issues, so it's certainly not worked out yet. I'd also advise a Porsche EV is probably always going to be on the finicky side of things. Worth it, imo, but certainly has issues.

You can build your car at MSRP on Porsche website. Then send it to your preferred Porsche dealership to place an order. After building your car like that, a list of dealers shows up.

So, there is no added markup above MSRP. But no doubt dealers get a nice commission. At that point, you can negotiate a discount. Most of us never got any, me neither.

I built my Turbo at my local dealership in end of Oct for a Feb delivery. They would not really move on the cost of the car but I did get them to do a no-charge tire and wheel package as well as maintenance for 3 years (including brakes). EV's have minimal maintenance but brakes can be expensive.
