Are used Panamera cars a good value?

In February of this year, Porsche, in light of stricter vehicle emissions regulations and changing customer demands, announced theAll diesel vehicles(Macan Panamera)The company officially announced that it will end production ofThe effect of this has been to lower the price of the diesel Panamera worldwide, making it possible to negotiate a discount, which is a very good deal.

I've been doing a lot of research on the Internet, and I'm sure you're right.The Panamera's diesel, not yet available in Japan, is a bargain."I saw a few articles here and there. However, since Porsche diesel cars are not sold at dealers in Japan, this is not directly relevant to people living in Japan, but I would like to introduce some of the information on used Panamera cars in the UK.

911 has grown as it is.

In Article.A used 2010-registered Panamera combines all the technology and capability of a larger 911 in its entirety."It is written. That Panamera can be purchased used in the UK for mid 4 million yen. In Japan, the 2010 model is available for used car test drives from the latter half of 4 million yen, and the price image is between 4 million yen and 6 million yen.

Just to the article.I'd be happier with a stock 911 (997) 3.8 Carrera, older than 2010 but released in 2007, for the same price."It also states. Because

While the 911 is widely regarded as the true Porsche, the Panamera was created with the cold-hearted objective of stealing market share from its rivals in the performance saloon market.

So they say. ...well, from a pure 911 fan's point of view, maybe that's how it's perceived.

Why a used Panamera is a great value

But the Panamera is a great deal to buy used, and I'll summarize why.

(1) Many have low mileage

Many Panameras were used as company cars, and it is said that quite a few of them were used only to go to and from the nearest train station and have short mileage.Most of the used cars I see on Japanese used car sales sites are under 10,000 kilometers.Only one of the cars had more than 100,000 kilometers on it.

(2) Has a complete service history.

Many Panameras as company cars have a complete service history. Since these are cars that carry the company's important customers, many of them are routinely given oil changes and dealer inspections. Therefore, you can buy with peace of mind.

(iii) Cheap even with full options.

Even with full options, the price is in the 4 million yen range. A normal Panamera with full options would cost several million yen, so the mid 4 million yen price tag with everything included is certainly a bargain. Incidentally, in Japan, theIt comes with quite a few options, if not the full range, and can be purchased in the 5 million yen range.Some were.

911 drowned body...

On the other hand, it says this about the design

Next to the sleek looking second generation, the first generation Panamera may seem a bit old-fashioned.

And. From the front, there doesn't seem to be that big of a difference, but the rear design is very different between the conventional and new models. I quite liked the rear design of the conventional model, but when I got used to seeing the new model, it certainly looks old.

Incidentally, Jeremy Clarkson of the popular British BBC car show "Top Gear"The early Panameras are like the drowned bodies of the 911."I remember saying.

What do the experts say about the Panamera?

The article included an expert assessment, the opinion of a type named Steve McPherson, a member of Porsche Club GB, the world's largest car club.

'I drove 10 911s before I bought my first Panamera 8 years ago. I have no regrets about buying the Panamera. Not only is it practical, but I enjoy driving it every day just as much as my 911."

Coming from someone who has driven 10 different 911s, that's pretty convincing. I still sometimes wish I could drive the previous model Panamera Edition one more time, and after much consideration, I think a used Panamera is a bargain.
