I just made an offer, (..that was refused !) for a 2013 CPO'ed Turbo ..and today, I feel that I made a "miss" when I did not went for the "Turbo S" (Gen 2) mentionned on the above post !
This car was for sale at Redwood City Porsche, ..and because of the fears of PCCB (i.e.: if driving on rough roads), I did pass!! OK, today, I admit, this was a mistake.
Well, sometime...
The question could be today "why not making a better offer, ..or matching the price asked" for this Turbo ?
Well, I would like a "gen 2", ..this is a "gen 1". OK, with plenty of good options, ..but a 44k miles 8 years Lady !
I felt that for me, it would be less, ..than the price I offered, or: I already made an offer that was more than its value !
I know, we are currently in times where the Panamera Turbo of Gen 2 are extremely rare on the market !!!
Or, being in a situation like : Would you think it would be a good time to buy a share, ..when it is at his higheest price ??
Ok, ..still waiting, next time !

You may be right !
Some are saying good bye Panamera, hello Taycan, ..but, for me, it is still easier to find a gas station in the middle of nowhere during a grand tour, when you decided to change itinerary at the last minute ..than a charging station !
It definitively looks like I'm not the only one in the hunt for a nicely optionned, low miles Panamera Turbo "Gen 1,II" (2014-2016) ! (This time, I will not exclude a Turbo S, but probably still ..exclude an "Executive" !
I still hope that somewhere in the country, one owner of a Turbo S will update on something like a Tesla Plaid, and make (at least !) one available.
I also hope that new car "availabilities problems" will be only a temp crisis !

@jsp3, thanks for the offer.
I just realize that I made a mistake in my post : I do not search for a "Gen 2", ..but "idealy" for a "Gen 1, II" ..as they name it at PCNA.
OK, to be more "visual" : between 2014 and 2016.
Sorry for the "false alert" !
