One year inspection of Panamera

Last weekend I took my Panamera in for its one-year service. I delivered the car last October, so it has already been a year. Actually, about a week before I took it in for inspectionOil level low, refill to 2.0 liters.I got a warning that theIt would be a waste to top off the oil at this point, so please let me wait until the inspection."I was thinking, "I'm glad it held up (laughs).

Last weekend, for the three-day weekend, there seemed to be a very large number of cars brought into the dealership for inspection.'We're booked up on Saturdays and Sundays, so if you bring it in Monday morning, we'll have it done by the evening!'I was told that I could make an appointment at the last minute. On the day of the appointment, we drove to the dealership with our Panamera and Golf, which was refreshing because we rarely get a chance to see the back of our Panamera.

It was 10:30 in the morning when I arrived at the store. The Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid, 718 Cayman, 718 Boxster, and the new Cayenne were on display in the store.

My daughters enjoyed the kids' space as usual. They had more toys than the last time we were here!

After taking the Panamera in for inspection this time, I was allowed to test drive the new Cayenne for about an hour. I will write more about the test drive review of the new Cayenne in a later article. By the wayMy husband had been saying for years, "I don't need an SUV," but after two minutes of test driving, he said, "What the heck! It's so cool! I want one!" He even said, "I want one!It was quite well received.

I applied for PSMP.

Mr. H, who is in charge of the Panamera, made a certain proposal regarding the cost of the one-year inspection of the Panamera. The mileage of my Panamera is 13246km in less than one year since I bought it.For those people, the Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan (PSMP) is the way to go."This was the case.

The Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan (PSMP) is a service that owners who purchase a new car from an authorized Porsche dealer can apply for within one year of purchase.Statutory inspections, manufacturer inspections, and replacement and replenishment of major parts for a fixed price in an all-in-one package for 3 or 5 years from the time of purchaseThey will do this for you. The cost can be included in the vehicle loan.

However, for those who drive fewer miles per year, it is more economical to pay for inspections on a case-by-case basis, since parts do not need to be replaced as much.

■1st year/15,000km: 12-month inspection
■2nd year/30,000km: 12-month inspection, Porsche specified inspection
■3rd year/45,000km: 24-month inspection and (vehicle inspection)
■4th year/60,000km: 12-month inspection, Porsche specified inspection
■5th year/75,000km: 24-month inspection and (vehicle inspection)
*Vehicle inspections do not include taxes, insurance, inspection fees, inspection fees, or agency fees.
*There is a limit to the number of times parts can be replaced.
*If service is not received within one month of the specified implementation time/distance for each service, the service will be forfeited.
*Some models such as GT2, GT3, and GT4 are not eligible for service.

You can choose from a 3-year or 5-year plan, but our family chose the 3-year plan. For the Panamera Turbo, we chose theCost for a 3-year plan is 319,680 yen(Tax included, as of August 2018)....... The cost of the previous Panamera Edition's one-year inspection would have cost more than 100,000 yen, I believe, so it is a good deal when you think about it.

What are the results of the one-year inspection?

I took the Panamera to the dealer at 10:30 in the morning and it was ready at 5:00 pm. I went back to the dealer to pick it up and got the inspection statement.

What? I mean, I had a flat tire!

I didn't know... my husband has been here for a while now.The right rear tire is losing pressure.But I had no idea it was a flat tire... There was a rather long nail stuck in it, but I was glad to see that it was within the range of repair. I wonder if it was a pattern of being rolled up by the front wheel and stuck in the rear wheel.

The Panamera came home from this one-year service washed and shiny, so it was kind of a waste to drive it. w My husband saw the Panamera in perfect condition."Let's go on a long tour in the Panamera once!"So he may be planning to go alone soon. I would love to have him go and use it as a blog post.
