    Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Aetna Blue Macan

    What: 2021 Porsche Macan
    Color: Paint to Sample Aetna Blue (aetnablau; non-metallic UNI; Y31; Porsche)
    VIN:  WP1AA2A57MLB14202
    Mileage: 13,093 miles
    Price: $47,250
    CarFax: Link
    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Austin, TX
    Listing: Porsche Austin

    Fairly base spec, incredibly low miles, Paint to Sample color- this Macan is a bit of a head scratcher. While there is no denying Aetna Blue as a special color, the choices made (or not made) on this Tailored Driver have us wondering why not. Agate Grey partial leather is pretty middle of the road although it does work well here, and the standard 18″ rollers do little to help this Macan stand out from the crowd. Having covered just 13,000 miles in four years of service, there is certainly no shortage of potential here, though. Perhaps you can use depreciation to your advantage, because at $41,000, it sure leaves plenty of room in the budget to further Tailor this future daily driver.

    I’ll level with you here- I’m conflicted. This Tailored Driver was spec’d in the insanely tasteful Ferrari hue of Azzurro California, a color so choice that Porsche’s Club North America lifted it for use on their 50th Anniversary Club Coupe. Paired with alu-optic trim and the ‘small’ wheels, it’s restrained- so much so that it could easily be mistaken for an A5. But then we get to the interior. Magma Red was chosen for a reason, although I can’t quite figure out why. Fortunately, seats can be dyed or replaced. It’s also worth noting that CarMax is a sneaky player in the Tailored Driver game, and we’ve placed a few cars from their inventory into enthusiast hands. For those in the hunt, it may be worth adding CarMax to your rotation.
