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

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.

Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I fell asleep looking at that image.
Verbal Rented a Malibu a while back. It was fine, if a bit gutless.I get that Detroit wants to go all-in on high profit margin SUVs and blinged-out MAGA trucks. Everyone has known for decades that they can't compete on price in the affordable sedan space. So now all of Detroit's sedans are gone except for a couple of Cadillac models.But you'd think that just one of the domestic brands could produce a fun, competitive and affordable sedan. Just one? Please? Anyone? Bueller?
