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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.
