I have been in the market to replace my DD for some time. I have a 2010 X5M that is nearing the end of warranty and while I could extend the warranty (or go bare) I have kept this car far longer than most cars.

I have had my eye on 2010 Panny Turbo's (and 4S') but could not justify the prices dealers are asking for a 4 year old car and wanted to stay within a reasonable budget. This is just my opinion and in no way meant to disrespect people who purchase the preowned turbos.

So to make a long story short, my dad who purchased a 2013 GTS last July had a change in life circumstances (to the good) and purchsed a new car. I took over his lease with 22 months to go. Only 4200 miles.

Car needs some love on the wheels (he's 68 and curbed a few....) and a ding pulled but other than that she's good to go.

Love the car. Some pics.

 

Nice color combo....congrats! What options are on it?

Also, glad to hear about your dad, but what did he get that topped the Panny GTS? I phreaking LOVE MINE!

 

Oh my that's a beauty Congrats on the car and glad your Dad is doing better. I would also consider some Rubber Floor Mats for the winter months. Enjoy, you got a great DD.

 

Dad got the flying spur. 2012.

Options list as follows:

-Basalt Black
-Black full leather
-Porsche crests
-Heated seats
-Turbo II's
-Wheel center color crest
-Entry and drive
-Park assist with camera
-Burmester
-SAT with HD
-carbon interior package
-14 way seats.

 

nice.....the spur is a sweet ride (though I personally would take the GTS!)

great options...enjoy man

 

Many thanks. So far really enjoying the car. I can't get over how a big car can drive so small. Really amazing.

 

It really is a trip...handles like on rails...if you love it now, try to drive one ( actually... Don't), with PDCC... You'll be blown away. Flat like a pancake... Zero body roll...zilch

Tire pressure, I've found, also really important to maximize the handling capacities...

 

great car, welcome and congrats!!

 

I have a 991 C4S with PDCC so I know it's capabilites. I do my canyon carving in the 911 and use the GTS for my DD duty and more cruising than aggressive. Long trips to see family, etc. Don't get me wrong, if I was building/searching for a car I would prob take PDCC over Burmester, but there was no way I was passing up the opportunity for this car.

 

Thanks Tom..... I still drool over your PTTS!

 

Nice car, congrats on your new ride.
