Today we bring you a certified pre-owned Porsche Macan GTS.

It's under the CPO warranty until July and has new brake pads. The PDK was serviced last summer and the spark plugs were replaced in the fall. A timing-cover oil leak was fixed last year.

Features include heated seats, leather, roof rails, lane-change assist, 21-inch wheels, sport seats, and the Premium Package.

Modifications include the exhaust, carbon-fiber airboxes, and the air filter.

The car is paid off and the mileage is 73,000. There have been no major accidents but there was a (since fixed) minor ding up involving a mailbox.

The ask for this Porsche, which is in the northern suburbs of Chicago (respect for the Bears license plate), is $37,900.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Probably a great car, as long a your pockets are deep enough to deal with all the maintenance and repairs.

I’ve had three used Mecan S models of this era. Amazing ride and handling. A bit of a gas hog for its size. Somewhat limited storage space. Learned that these engines are known to be leakers. I traded to lower mileage cars rather than sinking large amounts for the work. The overall driving experience is amazing. For the same money, you can get a very well optioned X5 that provides similar engine performance, less expensive maintenance and lots more space. But, the Porsche will always be the more exclusive club if that is your thing.

ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
