Nervous Panamera Buyer
#16
Dude, I paid $120k for mine five years ago...and that was with $20k off since it was a custom order somebody bailed on and the dealer had it on the lot for nine months. They also extended the warranty a year. It had most of the options I wanted including Burmester.
I know it's a tough comparison with a five-year old car...but that price seems fair for the low miles and you are going to LOVE that INSANELY AWESOME CAR!!!

It's my understanding that Porsche dealers no longer offer Pre-Purchase Inspections. Too many lawsuits

Well, called the dealer to say I'm on my way with the deposit and he said "sorry, I just sold the car". Even after we spoke and settled on a price on the phone. Oh well, the search continues.

Sorry to hear that but sometimes every works out for the best.
I bought a 2012 two months ago, no cpo. It's been great so far but I'm keeping my eye out for a 2014 with a cpo.
Good luck with your continued search. Great cars!

Found another one. 2011 fully equipped. Original owner. All service records. 58,000 miles. New engine at 28,000 miles. Should I be concerned about the mileage? The local Porsche dealers are out of the PPI game. Will have to go with an independent. Thoughts gents, please....Thanks.

Let us know if you have that info, so we can give you a better opinion.
Cheers

Apparently, when the car had 28,000 miles on it something happened which caused the engine to seize. At that time the car was still under warranty, so Porsche replaced the engine. The car now has 58000 miles. 30000 on the new engine.

If all checks out, if the car is what you like and price is RIGHT, go for it...BUT REMEMBER, Porsche looses A LOT OF VALUE on something like this...so be aware that it will be HARD for resale at a fair price...unless you are paying well below the retail on this car, than I would continue looking.
Cheers and THINK well.

Nervous buyer here as well...
Yo Kev I hope u dont mind me jumping on your thread (instead of starting another one) but i have questions for the first time Porsche (and/or Panamera) owners, but anyone can answer:
What was the deciding factor(s) that made you choose the Panamera versus all of the others in its class? (ie: Mercedes, BMW, Audi,...etc..)
How's the maintenance compared to other Makes/Models you've owned?
Ive been comparing the P to other cars and it seems like overall you're paying for the name. The panamera is behind the power curb on technology compared to many cars. (Ex: Back up camera is not standard, But every single new Honda comes with it)
