Hi all

Been a while since I have been on this forum. I have been doing a bunch of research on Panamera's and would love to get folks input on getting a 2014 panamera gts or a 2017 panamera 4s (I understand very different cars). I personally like the sound of the V8 and have found a great '14 gts with 50k miles, fully loaded for under $55,000. I guess the question I have is, is it worth spending another $20-20k and jumping into a 2017l with updated styling, iinterior, bells and whistles etc but face further depreciation vs. the '14 gts which by now has seen the most of its depreciation done already.

Already, anyone had experience with having a large dog in the trunk, 75lb animal.

cheers

Conventional wisdom states to buy the newest Porsche that you can afford. Having said that I love my 2014 Panamera GTS so much that the newer cars do not interest me. It has been very reliable for me and I have similar miles as discussed. It has sufficient power in sport mode and the exhaust sound is unbeatable. The only downside that I have is that my car pre-dates apple play, if that is a factor in convenience.

The trunk is enclosed so even if you remove the cargo cover, I am not sure that sized animal would be happy back there. If that's a deal breaker you might want to look a little closer at the configuration.

 

I sort of agree with you but for those of us who live on scraps... the depreciation on a newer Porsche is breathtaking... for those who buy "newer" but do not intend to keep their P car for a long term romance... it could hurt. That said, the current market is playing contrary to my analysis, lack of inventory has made the used market a bit crazy... my '14 Panamera has actually increase in value in the year I have owned it... quite unusual. That's my story and I'm stickin' to. it... God bless one and all...

 

Gts fwiw

 

"fwiw"???

 

My choice is GTS "For What Its Worth"

 

LOL, I was always slow in school...
