That looks great!

Looks like a very nice car.

Make sure that the transfer case has been replaced on it. They all end up with problems and are not cheap to replace. Porsche extended the warranty on them to 7 years - so the warranty extension on that car has expired at this point. If the transfer case has been replaced - you're good.

Thank you. Ok will dig into that further. I have Tensioner bolts on the way to replace the aluminum ones, if that hasn't been done. ($18.00 for 4 w/ washers plus my labor, no biggie)

So far issues with these cars seems to hover around: (Will upgrade/inspect these issues when car arrives)

Tensioner Case Bolts (Can lead to front engine case oil leaks) ($18-47 Updated Steel bolts to secure cover/seal)

Transfer Case (Premature Wear/Failure) ($2500 For Updated - Reman Unit Worst Case) or ($40 Fluid change X 3)

Valve Cover Leaks (Work Completed at Dealer already)

Thanks for everyone's advice/suggestions.

Going through car now, deep clean, preventative maintenance etc.

Default Panamera GTS discontinued???

Hi Everyone, hope you’re all well. I have a quick question. I’ve seen very very little talk about the Panamera GTS in the midst of the facelift. Do you think it has been discontinued?

Land Cruiser 200 series or the LX570 (LX are much cheaper) but both hold their value
