Hi all...looking to add a Panamera to my stable...currently have a 07 997 4S. The Panamera is for my wife. She wanted White so we waited and one finally showed up. Here is the deal.....

2014 Model, In Service 12-2013 Launch Car
PDK
Heated Steering Wheel
Park Assist w/ Camera
Standard Interior in Black
Bose Audio Package
Premium Package
14 Way Pwr Seats w/ Memory
20" Sport Wheels in Gloss Black

31,000 miles. Car was purchased at dealer that is selling the car. It's sold as CPO for 6 years, 100,000 miles. Asking $ 79,988.00. Was $ 89.988.00. I think it's a bit high for the mileage and age of the car. Told this was a trade in from someone that drives a lot of miles each year. Evident by this car!! I was going to offer $ 75,000 for the car as they have upped the trade of my car by $ 3,000.00. Trade is a very good condition 09 750iL with 81,000 miles. Has miles however car is in excellent condition inside and out. Looks new inside. Leather is in great shape.

I would like to hear from the forum and see what you guys think about this deal. I love the car as it's just about everything my wife wants in a Porsche.

Thanks

Nothing exceptional in the options - Premium package is pretty much the minimum most dealers order, though I custom-ordered a car without it. Yeah, that seems a little high, I see a few CPO cars on Autotrader for ~$74-$76 with lower miles.

Finding a white "S" has been a problem. Didn't want a black car again...and wife doesn't want silver like my 997.

Got the numbers back from the dealer..going to consider, but since they are local and they have the car we want...I may just pull the trigger. Porsche is offer 1.99%.

Color's remarkably important. Seriously. The #1 reason I ordered my Panamera instead of buying one from stock was color. I was looking at an almost-new (~500 miles) car in dark gray for a decent price, more options for less money than I ended up paying, but decided if I was spending this kind of money, it was stupid to get a color that didn't appeal to me.

If your wife specifically wants white, rather than just being happy enough with white, I'd say that's reason enough not to seek a better deal.

Pulled the trigger and got the 2014 S. CPO till 100,000 miles or 12-2019.

Question.....are there any options that a Durametric can turn on? For example...my 997 will have the windows go down if I hold the unlock button. What my S does is when I hold the lock button the mirrors fold up. Then when you put the key in to start the car the mirrors fold back down. So I'm looking for a list of things I can maybe change that are seen as creature comforts to have.

Thanks

Bump this thread for my question about the Durametric.

Thanks.
