Is a used Porsche Macan too expensive to maintain as a daily driver?
The Macan is Porsche's most accessible model to service: scheduled maintenance every 15,000 km costs $350-$650 at a certified independent. Timing chains and spark plugs run around $1,500 at 80,000 km. The optional pneumatic suspension (PASM) can cost $2,000-$4,000 per axle to replace — inspect it carefully before purchase. Compared to a BMW X3 M40i or Audi SQ5, the Macan's total five-year cost of ownership is competitive, and its resale curve is considerably stronger.
