Default Introduction - My New (to me) 2015 Panamera GTS

Hi All,

After researching for months, reading through years of helpful posts on this forum, I set my sights on buying a pre-owned Panamera GTS. With two older kids (13 and 10 year olds) and a small dog, the Panamera fits our family perfectly. Found one with great options, low mileage, CPO, and a great price at a Porsche dealership across the country from where I am. After over one month since committing to the purchase, last week we finally received our 2015 GTS in rhodium silver with cognac natural leather interior. Pleased to share it here with you all...



Adored by my wife as well, the feedback from all who've seen it in the flesh has been overwhelmingly glowing. Serious wow factor, especially for kids and grownups who really haven't taken a close look at one. With just over 13,000 miles, the car feels like new, and I can't get over how well it drives and how incredible the engine/exhaust sound.

After a week full of rain and clouds, the weather finally cleared up yesterday in the northeast (feeling for our friends in North and South Carolina)...a great driving weekend so far. Ear-to-ear smiles driving this one.

Thanks for reading!

Best,

Paul

Stunning car! Congrats!

I picked up a 2013 S 4 months ago myself. Similar situation with 2 adult kids - one living at home - and a medium to large dog (husky). The car has proven to be an excellent long distance cruiser. One kid lives 4 hours away.
I got a low miles car too 24K as a CPO.
Great way to buy them IMO!

Congrats and enjoy!

Default Thank you c4racer!

Congrats on your S!

It’s such a versatile car. In comfort mode, well-mannered and smooth. Sport plus mode unleashes the beast within...for a family of four to all enjoy together.

Nice looking car. And, pics never do these cars justice. Seeing it in person is so much different or on the road, moving. Enjoy the new ride!

Congratulations on yours, rol607! Love the yachting mahogany trim in your interior. How are you liking it so far?

Thanks! And totally agree with you dwwalker14335 - my brother-in-law's feelings did a 180-degree u-turn once he spent time with ours. Before, he thought it was his least favorite Porsche...after handling the GTS, he couldn't stop saying "what a sexy car!".

It’s fantastic! Had a Panamera 4 three years ago and this so much better.
Enjoy yours!
