Congrats on the buy!

I, myself, have always wondered in a Porsche if you can be happy and satisfied in a base model car. Often I compare the specs of the various trims and ultimately fall back on to the base model after determining and realizing the higher trims are "nice to have" and "don't really need" options

I had one of the original Panamera e-hybrids when they first came out. There were more features than I ever needed and never used. When I got my 986 Boxster S, being such a Spartan vehicle and with minimal options avaialble (at the time) that was the real wake up call I didn't need all the fancy features.

Hope you can share some photos of your acquisition and share your experiences with it. Enjoy in good health!

Nice looking car! I have ‘14S so don’t know if applies to yours, but on my engine the coolant tubes that run across top of engine are glued together and fail. 100%. If yours are same configuration and haven’t been replaced with new design, recommend doing as preventive measure. Eliminate being stranded. Enjoy the ride!!
