So there are great opportunities for those like us to pick up excellent examples at an affordable price?

I think that statement is relative. In my area (midwest) preowned Panamera's are hard to find.

Same here in the central Oregon area (or even all of Oregon for the most part)

When I was shopping for 2014-2016 Turbo there was very little to choose from in all of western Canada. I even expanded to all of Canada just out of curiosity and there wasn't much more.

I doubt that very many new Panamera Turbos are sold, at that high price point. Heck, realistically, even Panamera 4 models are pretty rare in North America! So there won't be many used Turbos available either.
I think you can get Panameras shipped pretty easily across the continent.
Regarding low-mileage Panameras, it seems that many people don't buy them for everyday cars or for long, cross-country cruises. I find that I have to consider where I'm going to park every time I decide to take my Panamera out vs. my Volvo wagon. I can park the Volvo anywhere, but not the Panamera. I did buy my Panameras for long, cross-country trips; would not have bought them otherwise, because I find it worrying to drive every day locally due to some of the areas that I have to drive and park.

Jim...that color is just stunning. One of the very few I've seen that I'd get out of my Agate Grey for.

The decent ones sell fast, the ****ty ones sit around. If a dealer has had one more than a couple weeks or so you can bet on it having some kind of issue... At least in my experience over the last 4 or 5 weeks.

Lots of 17 s due to the issues they had last year with cars held at port. Dealer told me lots of people didn t want to wait after ordering and moved on.

Because "many" and "very low" are relative.

I've gotten so many comments and compliments on the color, but it may have been the reason it sat for so long for sale w/o anyone even looking at it (car was in OK at the time). I never thought I'd own a brown car and the interior is stunning!

​​​​​in my part of the world, a demo car from the dealer is sold with less discount than if you order a custom build and wait 12-16 weeks.

I see a total of 18 Pana4's for sale across the entire country on Cars.com and all of them with prices listed have 5K or more miles. At that point I'd buy new as the discount isn't that much and you could order the car as you'd want.

I say 4's as it's a popular option and I own one. This is a similar car to mine and I'd consider buying it but not "many" really on the market; https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...2547/overview/

When I was looking a few weeks ago for a 2012-2013 CPO S, there were all of about 7 of them in the whole US.

Is that so many?

Boy - I sure didn't think so. And only one had under 30K miles. That's the one I bought - lucky for me it was local.

Now - there are surely more 2016-2017 models as those are coming off 2-3 year leases right now.

Mine was on a 3 year lease originally but the owner ended up purchasing it and keeping it 2 more years.

how do I get this same exact color scheme on a new 2019 Panamera? what is the closest color for the exterior paint? it looks amazing
