What the data shows

This 2018 Macan with the EA888 engine is a solid performer but has some known maintenance items to budget for. Plan for a coolant pump replacement ($800–1,200) and a transmission fluid service ($400–600) within the next 20k miles. The price is fair for the mileage, so use any needed repairs as negotiation points.
