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 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.

Peter Buying an EV from Toyota is like buying a Bible from Donald Trump. Don’t be surprised if some very important parts are left out.
Sheila I have a 2016 Kia Sorento that just threw a rod out of the engine case. Filed a claim for new engine and was denied…..due to a loop hole that was included in the Class Action Engine Settlement so Hyundai and Kia would be able to deny a large percentage of cars with prematurely failed engines. It’s called the KSDS Improvement Campaign. Ever hear of such a thing? It’s not even a Recall, although they know these engines are very dangerous. As unknowing consumers load themselves and kids in them everyday. Are their any new Class Action Lawsuits that anyone knows of?
Alan Well, it will take 30 years to fix Nissan up after the Renault Alliance reduced Nissan to a paltry mess.I think Nissan will eventually improve.
Alan This will be overpriced for what it offers.I think the "Western" auto manufacturers rip off the consumer with the Thai and Chinese made vehicles.A Chinese made Model 3 in Australia is over $70k AUD(for 1995 $45k USD) which is far more expensive than a similar Chinesium EV of equal or better quality and loaded with goodies.Chinese pickups are $20k to $30k cheaper than Thai built pickups from Ford and the Japanese brands. Who's ripping who off?
Alan Years ago Jack Baruth held a "competition" for a piece from the B&B on the oddest pickup story (or something like that). I think 5 people were awarded the prizes.I never received mine, something about being in Australia. If TTAC is global how do you offer prizes to those overseas or are we omitted on the sly from competing?In the end I lost significant respect for Baruth.
