Hello fellas.
I just found the panamera of my dreams.
Panamera Turbo S FULLY loaded, its has exactly the equipment I want and it's exactly the color combination I want and it's in my price range.
It's 7/2011.
The only problem is the mileage on it. It has 100000 miles.
Would you say to stay as far away from it as possible? It's not doesn't have any warranty left and then nearest date for an appointment with Porsche is in February so I can't check if it's eligible for extended warranty.

Should I stay as far away as possible from it?

unless you can fund your own warranty repairs...

What numbers are we looking at? (Typically)

just do some reading on the forums, you will see suspension stuff sometimes costing thousands at a clip. I would be conservative as I am and wouldn t own that without 5-10K(USD) in account and ready to go out. May not happen right away but it will at some point. IMO I don t want to throw that kind of money into a car after I own it.
Even little switches and stuff cost hundreds. Plus maintance stuff too. Brakes, tune ups etc...
Just do lots of reading before you jump in and get hurt. Plus re sale is going to be tough if you want out... Care to share the price, details etc...??

This is the car, 40.000 euros , and I'll get it for 38.

so you are in another country than I . I am talking USD and you are euros. I couldn t tell you if that s a good price or not.
Find out the price of a PDK transmission where you are and that may put some perspective in cost for you. That is a nice looking car.
Also you want to see the service it has had and what s due at 100K...

Will do, but I've thought about it again. I was so damn excited , but I'll wait to find one with 60.000 miles max. Wouldn't want that kind of a headache.
I've also been tipped from a friend working in a Porsche Center in Germany , to wait till February to get my panamera. Prices will drop by a significant margin.
I might even manage to get the Facelift Turbo.

Thanks again for your time brother. Owe you one.

sure, didn t want to tell you what I would do but I think you made a wise decision... I get the same way when in a showroom standing next to such a nice car, LOL. Good luck.
New upgraded Pana s come out in 2017 so these will drop somewhat.
