Hi all,

I wanted to ask for quick thoughts on the following;

I'm looking at a certified 2011 Turbo with 22,000 miles and an MSRP of $170,000.

The asking price is approximately $111,000.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the appropriate price and the relatively high miles for a 2011? Are the miles such that you would walk even though the car is highly optioned? If you wouldn't walk, what would you be willing to pay? Is there any meaningful way to determine if the car has been driven too hard or is that not a concern?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

 

Porsches are built like tanks in my opinion, mileage is the last thing I'd worry about. I had a 2005 Carrera S with 77k miles, it drove like a dream. The price doesn't seem too high to me. Check similarly optioned cars on cars.com. Bc it is certified it will be a bit higher than others, but it's ok as long as u plan on keeping it a long time. Good luck!

 

Thanks! By coincidence, this car, like your Panamera, is white. Have you enjoyed the color?

I never thought I would consider white but I think it really looks good on the Panamera. Silver is my first choice but this is the closest I've seen to having all the options I would order if new---the only option lacking is the Turbo II wheels which I love but can add.

 

A useful advice to you, if you decide to buy the car, have the dealership swap wheels for you FOR FREE. They usually favor requests like this, especially if they have a car with Turbo II wheels in stock USED. > Bingo!

That's what I usually do if I don't prefer the original wheels on the car.

I love white in almost all cars except for Ferrari so I am biased. It's not as easy to keep clean as silver, but looks great on Panamera. The car looks bigger than it really is I believe. If I were buying a new panamera today I'd pick this new dark gray color, it's not metallic. Other than that white all day everyday.
