i got good deal for a 2nd hand porsche macam. how much the yearly maintenance cost?

porsche macan itself is already not a cheap car
if u can afford a macan, u can easily afford it's maintenance and fuel consumption...whatever the amount it

i can afford the good deal from 2nd hand

any price u pay for a macan doesn't really match it's size and engine displacement
if u ask me, you're paying overpriced for everything
if u can afford it, u can afford it's maintenance

IINM, my ex-director is driving one, from his experience, servicing every 15,000km, RM3000-RM4000 per service.
Tires... RM1000 per corner.
Fuel consumption, average 10km per Litre bah.
Road tax, depending on your engine capacity, 2L = RM400, 2.5L = RM900, 3.0L = RMxxxxx check the table bah.
Insurance.... depends on your car's value and your NCD, but IINM online estimate RM3000-RM4000.

So... comes back to the question... can you afford to maintain driving a Macan?

2nd hand Macan is cheap... but can you afford the maintenance and repair bills?

I agree with you. Sorry but if you have to ask how much to maintain a car like that, this seriously means you can't afford it.

some people need to understand that porsche is not for everyone
BMW and merc is for everyone if u can afford it but not porsche....porsche is like in a whole nother level in terms of pricing

we bought a 2017 Macan S (30k KM) from a close buddy for 290k recently,
maintenance per service is 1,500RM+ for normal service at reputable service area
20" tyres are at 1.4k per piece.

mother.. no wonder i got good deal 😅

You go simple assumption can estimate how much is your "yearly maintenance" fee ady.

Yearly Insurance: RM3500
Cost of Tire Per Year: (RM1500 x 4) / 3 Years (assuming tire last average 3 years) = RM2000 per year
Yearly Service = RM2500 (in between official centre and specialist)
Total Yearly Cost = RM8,000 or RM666.66 per month.

If you can afford RM8000 per year, or RM666.66 per month. Why not?
Keep in mind this is excluding petrol fee and REPAIR FEE. Repairing a Porsche need potong kidney. Serious.

10KM per litre for Macan is considered goody already leh, if its "city" driving.
US EPA rated the Macan 2.0 - 20MPG city driving = 8.5KM/L
Carguide.com.au tested the Macan - 11.6L/100km = 8.6KM/L

My Exora Turbo only doing 7.7KM/L (13.x L/100KM) 100% city driving plus vroom vroom.
Luckily RON 95 very cheap liao..

Anyway, the Macan, well, the engine is same as VW Golf GTI, so its a 2.0L turbo.
BTW Roadtax, SUV and MPV gets a cheaper rate.

Eksceli 10km/L or 30MPG is considered the industry standard/average for modern cars.

As long as my car can hit that amount... im happy ady..

Almost forgot to add... the Porsche Macan uses PDK... or Porsche's version of the Dual Clutch Gearbox.... so......... MasterConfucion take note yeah.... PDK isn't very reliable when driving in our roads yeah? So.... expect the gearbox needs replacement soon.

i see a lot of porsche on the road

Lots of high net worth/ high income earners in Malaysia la.

In terms of yearly maintenance, I do not have much to add. You should note that if there's any issue with the powertrain of the Macan and if it is out of warranty it should cost you a kidney or two. No kidding. Caveat: I don't own a Macan, speaking from anecdotal evidence.

The same can be said that..

Back 3 years ago I saw a lot of VW Jetta, Passat, GTi, Audi A4 B8, A5 B8 on the road... now.... kosong pulak?

The Porsche Macan's 2nd hand value just dropped towards a point that it has now became affordable but yet "reliable" to be driven for a brief period... before it needs repair...

Don't believe me? Check out the 2nd hand market for the VW models I've mentioned earlier... their prices so low I can buy them cash and swap them every year.... Passat this year, Jetta next year, GTi the year after... syok yeeee~

To buy a car is easy, even if it’s an expensive 1. But to maintain it for a long run is a different animal.

does that means porsche showroom doesn't have a price list anywhere whatsoever, every time someone ask a price the sales person will yell you can't afford it.

good going.

If you go to Posche outlet in SgBesi, you will see a lot of porsche lyng there waiting for owner to pick up after repair, According to one of their staffs, most owner find it hard to fork up the repair bills which cost a new myvi.

Of course they have price list for the cars they are selling. But not one for mintainence, duh.

TS asked specific questions that require specific answers. Either you answer them or you don’t. Not sure why some replies are just “if you need to ask, you can’t afford” without any answers to TS’ specific questions.

Some people who can afford also might not want to spend that kind of money on cars.

ehh i tot Porsche are reliable bunches no? Some1 told me they copied the manufacturing philosophy of Toyota, therefore are among the ideal contis to own

U r right.. damn potong stim when get this kind of answer

If the Macan comes with remaining warranty and its still eligible for the extension, RM 14k for another 2 years, then you can consider getting it. But must send back for their schedule services, estimate cost- level 1 around 2k, level 2 around 5k, level 3 more than 10k. That's exclude wear and tear such as tires and absorbers.

Btw, what car are you driving now and what is your yearly maintenance cost?

right now drive honda civic cheap cheap only maintenance. not reach rm5k

Ok...

TS just buy only..

Seller is very happy to get rid of the car and got potential buyer

how good is that deal?

Agree, came to the thread hoping to look for some good factual reading but keep reading all this "if you can afford, u can afford whatever shit" replies

yeah! can afford doesn’t mean ppl will buy. even billionaire will not pay rm20 for a packet of triangle nasi lemak unless he is doing charity.

can confirm your money will flush down drain from petrol and maintainence

For my scenario, my Macan 2.0 is 4 yrs+ now with local full spec, I bought it last year from Porsche Pre-Owned with Extended Warranty, my usage per year mileage is roughly 15k+- KM, I estimate RM 20k~25k for a year to maintain it (a+b+c+d+e+f), breakdown as below:

a. Factory warranty extension - 7k p.a.
b. Services - 6.5k p.a.
i: Service interval 15k KM (normal level 1)- 2.5k (year 1)
ii: Service interval 30k KM (intermittent level 2)- 5.5k (year 2)
iii: Service interval 45k KM (thorough level 3)- 12k (year 3)
c. Tires estimate can go 30k KM front, 40k KM rear - 6k (2 years) - 3k p.a.
d. Software update
e. Insurance and road tax
f. Coating, detailing and etc

Maintenance cost from Civic to Porsche might be a bit intensive for some people, since you are asking for it, I think your income can cover the above, just buy it.

Above maintenance cost is based on local spec with Porsche Factory Warranty, all parts are covered even a window switch, and I'm not sure about maintenance cost for recond unit.

Cheers.

thanks so much for sharing a real constructive answer. good choice. i think macam is one of the best looking suv and have been attracting me since i first saw it on the road

Not only the look, the driving experience is great too, I got the PASM with Air-Suspension, it feels like a saloon car, so far I couldn't get any SUV that I can afford with such handling without sacrificing comfort.

More reliable than BMW. Cost is manageable, buy parts upfront and get reliable mechanics to do the job.

This kind of opinion need to die down already.

Not everyone who can afford a car would want to spend a fortune and hassle maintaining it.

I know people who can afford a 400k car but decided to go for Lexus RX instead of a Porsche Macan because they're trying to mitigate the risk of spending unjustified amount up keeping their car.

A person who can spend 400k on car doesn't mean he is ready to spend a fortune maintaining it.

Reply similar to yours are a nuisance to genuine opinion seeker seeking constructive comment from a forum like this.

Your argument is invalid.

Pass by to say hello Mr G20

That is why that guy should go for the Lexus Rx instead. You already knew the cons of buying contis like this. Still need to ask?

Good things about Honda is cheap maintenance. Bad things about Honda is also cheap maintenance. This cheap maintenance will be a bad things if someone wants to upgrade their car to another brands. I currently own Honda Accord and few times already think want to upgrade to Passat, but service cost at service centre make me think twice.

Honda service centre is cheap yo. Accord major service usually below rm2k, but Passat it can easily fetch rm4k .

I still think service centre support is important especially when want to diagnose problem.

Maybe most of time, people can go service outside, but worse case scenario, owner might need, once a while bring it to service centre to troubleshoot. If cannot afford service centre cost, then cannot lor.

He said he knows. TS didn’t. Why assume TS also knows and start condescending? It might just be a genuine question. If you have something tangible to say about conti maintenance, then let him know. Else, don’t. Easy. Why want to sound like some kind of YouTube commenter? Kopitiam threads nearby only. Can patronize people there.

Why come to the forums when you cant accept the opinions of others. Might as well stay under a rock and stick to your own views. Duh.

Your Hail Mary attempt to try and justify your reason of patronizing people just goes to show how imbecilic the they are. In Malaysian slang, bodoh sombong.

Your opinions are of course, yours. It should, however, be relevant. No need to come in here and tell people your mother is also a woman. Tell us something that we don’t already know. If that’s your purpose, it is my opinion that you can go Kopitiam. You can go guns blazing over there.

Well like I mentioned, if you are too bodoh sombong or too dumb to understand what others are trying to say, then just don't read/ ignore it Dumbo.

There isn’t anyone here who doesn’t understand what you’re trying to say. What we’re trying to tell you is your opinions are not appreciated, helps nothing and just shows how arrogant you are. Perfect for the other thread mentioned multiple times before.

Of course I can ignore your comments. But I can also rightly point it out as stupid, arrogant and completely unhelpful. No? At least my opinion is slightly more valuable than yours, which is an absolute nil.

If you think you are so good, why not give some 'valuable' opinions on this thread instead of whining and crying like a baby and wasting thread bandwidth here.

I seriously feel damm ignorant on this kind of comment - 'if you ask, means you can't afford'.

Hey, can I set a target on it or you don't have something better to say?

Seems like you have a comprehension issue as well, amongst the many other problems. I’ve said that my comments are just one notch above yours, which is 1 as opposed to yours, which is 0. I haven’t a clue how much maintenance it’s gonna take but I’m not patronizing the one who is asking either.

These people.. Maybe in real life they're constantly bullied or insulted at, hence can only use social media to release their dissatisfaction faced in real life.

hahahaah diuuuu. stop stalking me leh hahaha. paiseh one okay. now you know family got buy macan liao.

I think if you really like a car and you can afford it, just do it. Porsche's car are very reliable relatively speaking, as long as you keep it well maintained on time with an experienced workshop that deal with Porsche's car, you will enjoy the ownership thoroughly.

I can totally understand the "excessive" feeling of buying a luxury brand like Porsche though, it can be intimidating somehow if this is your first time, but if you really do like it, go for it!

Offtopic: Any Porsche community/club/forum around here that I can join?

As long as maintenance doesn't leave a hole in your pocket should a major component requires replacement, and that you don't need to use a credit card and pay installment for maintenance, go for it.

I have some colleagues, who no choice but to use credit card to maintain a Proton because he just doesn't have enough when it breaks down. Then pay minimum and incur interest.

Everything is relative and proportionate. But I must say, Macan is a great choice in terms of looks. Though I'd prefer the new LR Discovery.

lr discovery too futuristic for me.

if major breakdown rm10k i can still pay for it. of course if major breakdown every month i can’t la haha. once a year still ok

RM12k for a service?? Big bois league indeed

Wow..I pity ur friends..what to do. Its proton after all, the parts is among the cheapest in the market. Swipe and pay minimum indeed disaster liao. I pray he can finish the outstanding balance fast2 once he get money back.

Sometimes, it's bad money management. Sometimes, it's circumstances they may be in and I understand. They have kids, and a car is the option instead of a bike. Then that becomes bad family planning, which leads to bad money management because not enough to cover expenses via their income. My point to all car buyers remains the same, be it from Viva to Lambo. If you need to be in debt to pay for maintenance, my opinion is NO. If it makes a big dent in your financial planning if something major breaks down, my opinion is NO. Car has and almost always is a liability.

Getting back to the topic of the Macan, what deal is TS getting? Macan S and above would be ideal. The standard Macan would seem underpowered but I don't know coz I haven't sat in one yet.

It's not underpowered, 0~100km/h below 7s for a standard Macan, 6.7s for Chrono spec, faster than many cars out there.

Depends on what you want, I was given a choice to choose between Macan and Macan S, for the sake of maintenance and it's just a family car, I preferred non S for the comfort, reliability and lesser maintenance.

Many people have wrong perception between S & non S, it just 100HP and 1s (0~100) different, if you want fast and real powerful, only Macan Turbo is the choice.

i believe not that expensive, as vagtechnik do service porsche macan. Maybe save around 5-10k per year for servicing which is ok for conti.

what is vagtechnik?

workshop that provide value for money service for volkswagen group cars

ok thanks. if official service center then I no worry.

Expensive car not dare send those normal workshop. Dunno they know how to do the electronic stuff later simply join car rosak they no guarantee 1.

but they did their job well to my golf mk6. Well official service center should be the best, but if buying second hand no point going there, unless there's no alternative.

They can source original and oem parts, the best thing is that they tell you beforehand, but this is my personal opinion, but you can visit them and see for yourself as so far i am satisfied.

my rule of thumb, if i purchase a 250k car, i would spare 50-100k for maintenance for the rest of the ownership

If you don't service at Porsche, then I suppose it is affordable if nothing breaks.

Try this place for servicing - http://www.prestige2u.com.my

Then, there is this famous saying that if you have to ask the price, then you cannot afford it.

Insightful thread. Parking.

Probably because of the Porsche brand?
Just like Audi spare parts are known to be more expensive than VW even though under the VW group.

Used Porsche is affordable but maintenance is not.

I know because I got a rich cousin who owned it.
Sòme parts can cause up to 5 figures.

If you ask this question, mean you are not ready for this car. For me, if you choose Porsche, just buy, no need to think. If you care about maintenance, no offence, just buy Japanese SUV.

Haha, this is vastly undervalued. The maintainance can easily cost 10 to 30k p.a depending on the model, model's year.

Actually i also like the Macan very much. I dont like SUV but i can see myself wanting to own one Macan SUV someday

Very very informative from real owner, to be kept in mind. Yes to me as not a purist, the 1sec really not important at the expense of comfort, cost and maintainability



I still think there is no harm for TS to ask question like this.
Beside, this is not also a money management subforum is that way

Although some ppl can afford, its not wrong to know what is one buying into. Is it not right to ask how much need to maintain certain car even one is rich. The rich also deserve a right to consider and weighing in. Or should one reveal one's income or present how much tax was paid before the jury qualified you to ask a question.

No personal offense, but this kind of mentality again and again resurfaces is quite annoying . This thread alone have few uncalled for responses like this already.

This is an open n respected forum (well kinda, out of courtesy) where ppl come here, especially those rarely visit here and eventually genuinely asking for knowledge and information, but to be preached . There is no need for the holier than thou vibe

Heck probably the one asking the questions r far more successful thereby pretty little knowledge on cars because no time come to forum to read daily and teach people

In times like this, being silent is gold and that ability to keep to oneself , both online and offline, truly deserve a pat on the back
