That change in price at 2017 isn't because of Sport Chrono, you could get that on a 2015 or 2016, it's because the 2017 introduced the GTS model and slightly refreshed the dash and electronics; there's a jump in all models for the 2017 model year.

So I never considered a Porsche before and I am not going to buy one new, if I buy one at all. Just being prudent and trying to make the best choice for me.
Hi, Dankjewel voor deze video! Ik ben nu in de markt voor een Porsche Macan. Is deze analyse ook voor de Nederlandse markt te hanteren gelet op de hogere bpm op de 6 cilinder modellen? Om die reden keek ik naar een 4 cil. Maar misschien is een Macan S in de uiteindelijke TCO gunstiger Ben benieuwd hoe jij hier naar kijkt.
Good channel, just subscribed. Love analysis! Especially since I’m torn between custom ordering a MY2022 Porsche Taycan Turbo S or stick to petrol and get my dreamcar (991.2 Turbo S) and some kind of daily like the Macan, a Panamera turbo or turbo s, a 2019+ Audi RS7 (baby Panamera) or maybe a used or demo Taycan 4S for a fun little daily but the 911 will be my 10s 1/4mile drag car for my weekending fun at the speedway.
When you’re talking about the depreciation over any length of time with 2014 being where your x/y axis of your graph begins, and each following year on up to 2020 continues further to the right....... It makes it kinda confusing to move backwards like you did around the 5min mark I believe it was, when you started saying "In the first year of ownership you’ll see the depreciation of the Macan............" And your visuals move from present day backwards into the past. Maybe I’m having a brain-fart day today. I dunno.
The x axis shows the model years and not the value over time. That often causes confusion. The most recent model years you can find on the right. Hence, the drop in the first year of ownership is equal to the drop between 2020 and 2019.
@@fourwheeltrader Yeah..... But that’s the thing. You just spoke of the current model year first and transitioned backwards to the initial price drop of that and the previous model year Macan. It should flow like a timeline in a history book. Oldest to newest, left to right, purchase price to depreciated value. Na Mean?
@@fourwheeltrader Where do you get the data? Do you have to pay for it? Also, I would like to know at what point should a car's age/mileage should not be considered. e.g., if the car has problems after 100k miles, I would not want to get a Turbo with 80k miles unless I rarely drive it vs a daily driver.
Excellent video. Couldn't find the same analysis for the Cayenne. It would be great to show a comparison between the macan turbo and the Cayenne Turbo. I was surprised to find them at a similar price, despite the fact that the Cayenne is 50% more expensive when new.
The curve for the cayenne turbo is visible in this video: ua-cam.com/video/M7JZKXO_Kj8/v-deo.html Given the development in car prices it's likely that the curve shifted up during the last year.
I got a 2016 Porsche Macan Turbo fully loaded with less than 25k miles. The original sticker price was almost 100k. It even has the burnmeister sound system that is so so amazing. Makes the car twice more enjoyable. I upgraded from a 2015 Macan S and I have to say I did not expect such an increase in power and comfort.

Appreciate your research on depreciation, BUT all German cars are empty $ pits as they age (approx 5 years) with high mileage (approx over 75k), especially BMW’s. The money you think you’re saving from low depreciation is overtaken by high maintenance and repair costs over the duration of ownership.
Depends on which car you are looking at. Also, it is unlikely that you will spend 30k on maintenance while it is likely that you will lose 30k to depreciation.
Fourwheel Trader - Car depreciation analysis I bought a 2013 X5 in Summer of 2018 with 94k miles. Within a LONG 8 months I dropped nearly $2,500 into it for front end suspension, leaking rear differential and a frozen door lock. This was with an extended warranty. I couldn’t sell that piece of crap privately and wound up trading it in for my excellent 2013 Lexus ES 350 with only 30,009 miles. My bad for not Doing enough research before buying that X5. Repair cost versus depreciation costs are relative to the age & mileage of the vehicle. I certainly wouldn’t touch another German car with a 10 foot pole. Reliability and high maintenance/repair costs are unnecessary headaches when I know for a fact a Lexus (Toyota) will give me years of trouble free ownership.
Stephen DiBari silly you shouldn’t be buying a 5 year old x5 with 98k you don’t know how the first owner/‘s treated it then complaining about high repair costs buy something newer more appropriate to your pocket.
I owned a Porsche 911-- 997.1-- for a period of two years that I sold for quite close to what I paid for it. Maintenance and repair costs were minimal at an independent mechanic. Put 15,000 miles on it.
