Model year differences for turbo
Hi
I will start looking for a turbo version in the next few months, is there any significant differences between 2010 , 2011 and 2012 models?
Thanks

No significant differences. More options and exclusive options available on the later cars. When looking at preowned it will be important to narrow down exactly what your list of "must have" options will be.
Maybe go on the Porsche website and build a car to your specs. Then say I want these options for sure and set about trying to find the right color combo with the miles and options you seek. Finding that and one that is Certified by the dealer to 100k miles on warranty is the way to go.
Prices will vary based on year, miles and options and warranty. Cars ranged in price new from $130k to $210k - a broad range. Right now there are some 2012 Turbo S's available in S. Cal - less than 11k miles for $50k off their recent MSRP's. You will find some great buys and you will love the car!
Good luck finding what you are looking for.

Starting 2011, all Panameras use a true digital USB connection for iPods. Prior to that, they use a twin cable USB/AUX connection, the USB is only for iPod function control, the audio signal is through the analog AUX, you have to use the iPod's crappy internal D/A converter. I don't know how much this matters to you, but I use an iPod as my main music source and I prefer to have a digital connection.

Panamera Turbo was one of the toughest buys for me. I wanted Burmester Audio, black interior, and the 18 way sport seats. Found a car, but going through Autotrader was very time consuming. Found a ton with the Burmester, but the 14-way seats.
With a white car, who the heck needs ventilated seats!
I agree, best thing to also include in your search is to speck out a car on the Porsche website, that's what I did, then I just started looking.
For a 2010, expect at least 50-60 off original MSRP.
