Hi, first of all this is my first post. I have been reading and lurking forum for past month.
My recent car history is:
-Golf 7R 2014
-Mercedes A45 AMG 2015
-Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 507(sold last week)

I have tried to read as much as possible of forum threads but didn't seem to find all the answers I need.
I'm interested in Panamera Turbo and I have one which will be available in next two days. It's 2011, and it have 60.000 miles. There is almost everything on car regarding equipment, only missing from pictures that I have is 4 zone climate I think and probably PDCC.
I'm planning to use it as daily, I have other car for winter but I'm also tempted to drive it sometimes on winter. My biggest concern is suspension, I have learned from forum that all turboas came with air suspensions, but how comforting realy are they ?
My C63 was to harsh, and to enjoy that car you really need to have perfect roads(like those in Germany) but here we don't have it. I'm aware that this is sport sedan, but also are hoping that suspension is superior to amg one. Any example would be appreciated.
Also, at 60.000 miles is there any concerns or details that I need to be extra careful when checking car ?
How good is PT engine and PDK, is 60.000 to much for it ?

Thanks.

 

60K miles for these cars are nothing , the transmissiom and engine are made to pull a lot of miles. I think pdk is made for 200.000km .

 

Thanks for very fast reply porschecayenne. Let's just say I'm in similar position, wife is also pregnant and I want something fast and as much comfortable as possible.
So there is no big concerns regarding miles and suspension?
Hopefully some more inputs will be available.

 

air suspension is great . I have bad roads here in my country too and my wifes love it . Even when she was pregnant , she liked the car a lot . Also you can raise the car for low ground clearence and nasty speed bumps.
where are you located ?

 

I really hope it's more that 200.000 km, because if that is true that panamera is on half lifetime already?

 

Are you looking to buy a Panamera Turbo?

Here is my list of previous cars and now I just got a Panamera Turbo which I am extremely happy with and would not trade it for anything else at this point. If you have a family this is the perfect family car, with lots of room, a lot of enjoyment and feel of a sports car. I have driven many cars over the past few years and owned a lot thru the years. Most of my cars were all built and modded but some stayed stock. I think only the Lexus Cars hehehe. Get the Panamera Turbo dont think twice. Car is fast, fun, looks good (to some people) and has a feel of a sports car even at 4500lbs.

don't worry its just a quote. I have seen a couple for sale at 280.000 km . also my friends panamera T with 180.000 km has been rock solid.

 

Thanks , I really needed this information first handed.

 

Your car history is something to be admired

I also have X6 4.0XDrive,and Mercedes 350 4matic currently but I want something like PT which can take me on long trips and be exciting and comfortable at the same time.
X6 is good on winter condition, and Mercedes is my official company car which I use often but it's not exciting at all to me.
Thank you for your input, all this will have impact on my decisions on Thursday or Friday.

 

Baklava88 - use this link to check your VIN. It will tell you what options the car has.

I just hit 80k on my 2011 Turbo.. I live in the DMV so miles are a norm out here. Unless you going to trade the car in or sell.. i wouldn't have any worry about miles on the 970. The car is bulletproof.

 

 

Thanks iammulva, I tried and it's seems that car is 2010 and not 2011. It has aprox 87.000 KM , but couldn't find what options it has

 

Well I always say that this time I will have my car for at least two years or maybe three but I end up selling it after 8 months)) I hope it will be everything I hope, but this vin decoder has given me some trouble
