Porsche

[Remus325]

Ah yes there is no P-forum in SG unless you are already a P owner...how great is that.

 

Ok nevermind.  My fortune teller says I must spend all my money soon on a car before I reach retirement agree, so I am smelling around for a Macan-S.

 

Any MS owners here?  I got a few Ah Beng questions:

- If you configure a P car and end up at price $X, which does not include COE, how does the local AD add the COE back into the price. Based on PQP?

 

- can options be retrofitted after the car is ordered/collected.

 

- is it better to go with AD or PI.

 

1. When i bought from the AD i simply paid the COE that i bidded successfully for (with the help of my SA)

 

2. It depends. Some options like rims, body kit, sports exhaust can be retrofitted, others like full leather, sunroof, interior stitching cannot.

 

3. For five year warranty and peace of mind go with AD. For a lower price upfront go with PI. These days there are more shops that service P cars e.g. J4C, BVO, Espace, Weissach. And some of them are even staffed by ex stuttgart personnel. So servicing outside of the AD will become less and less of an issue.

Am thinking of buying a  2nd hand 2008 Porsche Cayman. Just want to ensure that i got my maths right before i make the plunge. 

 

 

Cost per Year

Depreciation of car $20K 

Road tax $2k 

Insurance ( 50% NCB) - $2K  

Petrol : $4K  or $300+ per month (i only travel 6000KM per year ) 

Maintenance : $5K per year

TOTAL about $33K per year

 

Also prepare to set aside $10K for initial repairs after purchase. 

 

How does this sound?

 

For a late 2008 Porsche,  w OMV $80K,  what would be a decent price to pay? 

 

Thank you in advance.

you bid for the COE yourself? wow.

 

I also want to share one thing about the new and the used P-car outlet, saying diff things for marketing reasons(which I can perfectly understand).

 

Beng: aaa....if I buy your XXXXX, should I conifigure the performance options like PASM, Air Suspension, Torque Vectoring, Sports Chrono, etc....bcos its a P-car and should need to have these things logically speaking.

 

AD: Yes of course, you want the real mcoy don't you.  Tick the boxes.

 

Used Car section: Not necessary la.  The XXXXX is already performance tuned from the factory.  Mai Hiam See Ai Sai one lah.

I also dunno for P car but for comparison, my hiadee went to get a new BMW M4 which cost around $400k.  He has 50%NCB and in his late 40s.  He was quoted around $3k premium.

Thanks. 3k-4k for insurance then.

 

Wat abt maintainance?

 

I laugh at the saleman who told me it cost the same to maintain like a camry. If that is the case we will have been overun w porsche on the road. Anyone can give a guide?

[Ahbengdriver]

any comments on their Air Suspension system.  How reliable or lasting are they.  Someone told me a replacement of a single(not all 4) corners of the AS on a Cayennne cost more than $3k?

Hello MB and Jackio

I reckon you are dealers.

No problem

 

My car details already posted before.

 

COE renewed until 30 Sep 2024

Car from Stuttgart

All original.

All leather.

Sunroof

Mechanically the condition is 99% i dare not say 100%

I am selling for less than $18k per year depre.

Just drive on.

Mileage on this newly rebuilt and religious worn in engine is less than 7500km.

 

I dont drive it much nowadays.

Clocking only like 500km a month.

 

Plus i have another car and a hardly used new motorcyle which i intend to get back into.

 

if serious, drop me a fair sincere offer purely so that we can take discussions to the next stage.

 

However if you are thinking of $130k, then i would rather sell to my friends anytime so that they can enjoy a beastie car at a great price.

 

Email me --> throttle1973 at hotmail.com anytime.

 

Cheers

There's quite a few Porsche at Autobahn motors I've seen around. Prices seem quite competitive too. Y'all could give them a look. Passed by and seen some 997s and 996s.
