Out with the old


In with the new

Traded-in my old 2001 Audi A6 Avant (178,000 miles) for my new 2020 Porsche Panamera 4 e-hybrid Sport Turismo.

Happy New Year!

A little bit of an upgrade, perhaps - you'll have to let us know!!

pinballplanet

Haha, yes. That A6 owes me nothing. Bought it new; my sons drove it for the past seven years. Now they’re driving my 2015 Audi Q3.

Never really liked SUVs. Always liked wagons. Wanted to go electric.

Man those Chalk cars are nice.

​​​​@pinballplanet congrats and welcome! I moved up from a Volvo V90 CC so I can sort of relate Did you order that or was it a car on the lot? Either way mind sharing your discount? I ask because the on the lot 2019s and (especially) 2018s are super deals right now as has been discussed a lot on this forum. Curious what's going on with 2020 prices.

pinballplanet

Thank you. I had a Red V70 T5 prior to the Audi!

I ordered the Panamera in July. Discount was about 8%.

There are only a few V6 e-hybrid Sport Turismo on dealer lots in the USA; I know of 3 used 2018’s and 2 new 2020’s on lots right now.

Yes, I ordered one of the first Pan4 E-Hybrid STs in America, a 2018 model that arrived in May 2018. And, I too, have Volvo wagon background -- except that I still have a 2001 V70XC ...
How did you option your 2020 ST E-Hybrid? These vehicles are pretty rare in the US...

Now that's an upgrade! Congrats!

cometguy

Are those acid-green brakes on your 911? Is it an E-Hybrid?

cometguy

Nice... I got the Night-Vision infrared camera, also. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it, after you've had some time to use it.
I also got the night-blue metallic paint. One thing I regretted not getting was the soft-close doors, which I had on my 2015 Panamera (I didn't get either of the premium packages on my 2018 ST E-Hybrid).

Funny I got soft close bc I bought the car off the lot. Never would've ticked the box, but now wouldn't order a car without it! I was more excited about night vision - also in the car whether I wanted it or not - but because I have to remember to swap the right screen to it I don't use it as much as I should given the road conditions where I live (narrow, twisty, no shoulders, dark, full of critters). Too bad you can't do things like set the screen to default to it automatically during certain hours, or based on sunrise/set times.
