My sister is finally ready to join the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/crest.gif) family. Her next vehicle will be a Porsche Macan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)
It is my job as the older and wiser brother to help her make the right selection. I am asking the brain trust here for advice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif)

The initial want list: Must be a 'Pretty Blue" color. (Sapphire, Voodoo, Miami, Mexico.) PDK. Newest & Lowest Mileage possible. @ 50 K to spend.

What all should we be looking for / to avoid? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

We love the Macan. Bought a '17 CPO GTS loaded- 18 way seats, full leather, all the bells, Carmine Red with black leather. Had 10K miles, one owner (I actually spoke with the owner before I bought it) and garaged and well cared for in Palm Springs. The GTS looked brand new inside and out.

I think the GTS is the sweet spot in the line-up. Air suspension and all the turbo suspension and goodies but no "turbo" engine. Runs, handles and sounds great. It's the wife's DD and she loves it. I did all of the research and after considering it all landed on the GTS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yeah I had a '17 GTS also. White over black. Was a really nice car and would highly recommend.
