Good luck, and why right now for all who might face this (sorry, SORRY) jumping onto Porsche finder (in the U.S. at: https://finder.porsche.com/us/en-US/search/macan?model=macan&category=macan-4-electric&category=macan-turbo-electric&position=90001,33.9697897,-118.2468148,-1&order=closest) might work for you are is did super superlatively for me.

Hope that through Porsche corporate and/or helped by dealership contributions, they create a way to greatly, financially help many of you on the traffic pricing bubble for both your already ordered ones ā€” or aslo right now newly decided to purchase ones. Three weeks ago my wife and I were waiting to custom order our 2026; now we are a 1,500 mile CPO turbo owner at a massive off list discount.

Just looked in my area and there are plenty of 4, 4s and Turbo models in all 4 dealerships within 20 miles. So if you havenā€™t got one and are willing to compromise on config a bit for the sake of avoiding tariff price hikes, I donā€™t see an issue. Looks like they may have increased their stock to deal with just this type of situation. On the other hand, in 4 months of ownership, Iā€™ve only seen 3 others ā€˜in the wildā€™ so maybe they just have stock. Either way, in spite of the initial software glitches, I canā€™t say I regret any aspect of owning this car. Go get em while they are still ā€™cheap-erā€™ !

Thanks. Did exactly last week, snagged a 1,537 mile perfect Turbo for us, with it 100% matching our exterior desired specs, having perfect performance and safety specs we wanted, though wil a little interior option compromises. But as a CPO and they took over $25K off its MSRP, we are very, VERY happy. Awaiting it to arrive here, 3,275 miles from the dealership (southern FL to the Pacific Northwest), estimated arrival this coming Wednesday or Thursday. Also as it was first a Porsche Execā€™s car, never titled and could therefore (and did) advantage of the $7,500 lease credit. Smiling like a pig in - - - - with what we walked into.

Two days ago = loading day. P.S. Already ordered five very minor mods for it.

I was offered one of two CPO cars that have ā€œless than 1000 milesā€ - dealer has bought them at auction and has them incoming. Iā€™m wondering why these would be CPO with such low mileage - are they buybacks that had issues? Just demo cars that saw a lot of use (these wouldnā€™t be CPO though, Iā€™m thinking)?

Having just identically gone through this and purchased a 1,537 mile CPO (warranty now until 8/24/2030 ā€”not a typo), and further suoer fortunate getting a very discounted price, here is what I learned. Sorry it is lengthyā€¦

Roger Penske owns 10 Porsche dealers. He is of course ā€œMr. Porsche Racing U.S.A.ā€ More than just a few of the Porsche national corporate exec who work at One Porsche Drive, Atlanta headquarters, get to drive vehicles as part of their job compensation. Those are all facts. Next, but this next is solely my conjecture, since that more than a few (understatment) Macan EV ā€œexec driven demosā€ are showing up at his dealerships, based on, again I think at least has a special relationship with Porsche U.S., e.g, his getting a large percentage of them.

At the same time as I properly suspicioned and uncovered, there are some used Macan EVs with low mileage that had one of more functional issues during there early usage. To protect you me and all, each dealership with integrity WILL provide you with a CarFax report. The first one I was interested in at 268 miles had an issue that was identified in its CarFax report; that Porsche dealership was 100% above board and shared its CarFax readily).

However, none of the those I looked at,the Penske owner dealerships had a CarFax with an issue. Could be just coincidence. Below is a print out of what you should be seeing (was of the one I bought), and to me without that report I woul have just moved on for it otherwise could be an early turned in lemon-law car.

Hope what worked for me, works for you. And BTW if you find one across the country as I did, I used a separate through investigative process to evaluate my potential Macan finalists but when you pull the trigger, I also found a great, high quality cross country enclosed transporter company I recommend you consider using: Direct Connect Transport (Hollywood, FL, i..e., if Rogerā€™s dealerships are comfortable hauling their Porsche dealership sold new and use GT3 RSRā€™s across the country in Direct Connectā€™s equipment, I sure am hell am in getting my Macan EV so transported.

Good luck, and happy to further help in any way I can. I struck gold in terms of the Macan EV I got , at the Porsche West Broward dealership I bought it from, and also at the price I paid.

Could be a-->>"Bridge car" which are bought while waiting for the car they really want to be made, at which time they trade it in. .

According to the real time marine tracker I am checking, Daisy Leader ETA slipped a day from 3/30 to 3/31...
3/30-3/31 should not make a huge difference, as customs doesnā€™t work Sundays at the port, as far as I am aware. I think you have a real chance; good luck!

Iā€™ve seen a few Porsche turbos on sale used with low miles (under 1000) on Porsche finder. I imagine they were buy backs from unsatisfied purchasers for various reasons.

The corporate loaner explanation makes sense, based on the number of these out there. Otherwise I would think the forums would be flooded with lemon complaints more so than average. Maybe even review units in some cases.

They are more likely demonstrators or loaners. The dealership isnā€™t going to take a vehicle back just because the customer isnā€™t happy with it.
