Used 2024 Macan Base or New 2025 Audi Q5

Hi there! I'm planning to buy a car and would love your input. My budget is around $60k, and I've narrowed it down to two options:

  1. 2024 CPO Porsche Macan (Base)  - 7,000 miles  - Price: ~$55k (original MSRP ~$65k)  - Includes Surround View and Premium Plus Package — these are the most important features to me  - White exterior, standard audio (no Bose), which I'm fine with
  2. 2025 New Audi Q5  - Premium Plus Package  - Brand new from dealer

I might sell the car in 3–4 years depending on whether I stay in the U.S. long-term. I’ve done some basic cost analysis (including depreciation considering the resale value after 3 years, maintenance, and insurance), and the used Macan seems to be a better value because I’ve already avoided most of the first-year depreciation.

Would love to hear your thoughts — especially if you’ve owned either car! Which would you pick and why?
