Hello All, lease end coming up (April, 2016) with the 2013 Panamera Turbo currently 14,886 miles on it, I feel it will be a shame to return the car back to the dealership with all of the upgrade and care I put into it. I intended to keep the car but life plan changed.
This custom order Panamera was delivered to Moe at Glistening Perfection straight from the dealership the moment I signed the papers. To this day it has no scratch or dent and never in an accident. You can read Moe’s post on the custom full protection and tint on the car ($13,500 upgrade).
The car has been under the care of Glistening Perfection since day one. The exterior is better than the day I pickup at the dealer.
Other upgrades include:
GIAC ECU flash with switchable programs ($2,100 upgrade)
IPD Plenum ($800 upgrade)
Akrapovic Evolution Full Titanium exhaust (duel value opening is connected to the OEM exhaust button, $8,400 upgrade)
LoJack with early warning device ($1100 upgrade)
All scheduled vehicle maintenance & services were done through Newport Beach Porsche service center. It has a 4 years service/maintenance plan and 5 years wheel/tire accident warranty plan. I just replaced tires and alignment at NP service center 180 miles ago.
It is pretty much a garage queen. I have never race or launch the car. Yesterday Carmax quoted $88,900.
I’m asking $89,500 and the car is in Orange County California

Gorgeous - but why are you bothering with a private party sale for an extra $600 over what Carmax offered? Have them write you a check and walk away - couldn't be easier.

GLWS if you decide to sell it yourself.

Hello Guys, thanks for your reply, it's not really about the $600, heck I would sell it for what Carmax offered.
You're right Carmax is less hassle, but they don't care and don't appreciate the upgrade and care I put into this vehicle. Returning back to the dealership is even easier. But I would rather pass on the car to someone who really would take care of it and appreciate it.
Definitely not logical but I'm fortunate enough that money is not the most important concern here, I know it is not an investment and will not get it back, just want to find the Panamera an owner who appreciate and knows the value of those upgrades and a good home. It might go back to the dealership anyways, but I want to try. Thanks for sharing your thought, much appreciated!!
