Hello everyone,

Last week I closed a deal on a CPO 2011 panamera turbo 36k miles which I am getting from beachwood porsche in Ohio. I can't tell you guys how happy I am to be joining the porsche family with a car I always wanted.

Here are a few pics from the dealer website. Notice the marks on front and rear bumper, as part of the deal I had them repaint both .

Car is White on Cognac and loaded up with the important things to me like sport chrono

Thanks, took me some time to find it

Nice,

the painted lower rear valance is a nice option.

Olive wood is rare too.

Good luck.

Thank you, those options where the icing on the cake for me.

Picked the car up today and I am impressed. Such a nice car with an amazing presence in person. The team at Beachwood Porsche was great and handled my concerns with haste.

Here are a few pics from today :

So after 600 miles of driving the panny I can say, this car is BETTER than my expectations. I knew it would be a great all around car but it is so much more. The best way I can describe it is by saying, it feels special.

I can't give you a formula of performance plus luxury plus design equals special, because there are other cars that have all of that but aren't. The build quality is amazing and the engineering is infused into your every interaction with the car.

I know I need more time with the car to write a full review but those are my thoughts so far.

I agree wholeheartedly. I picked up a CPO PTT and just love it. I have really liked some of my previous cars, but I really love this one.

I just picked up the VR Tune and can't what to apply it. Has to wait till we get back to the states. But excited to unlock even more performance.

She looks beautiful. My Panny was my personal introduction to the Porsche brand and needless to say I'm hooked. It won't be my last... : )

Man you have to give me your feed back on the tune. I plan to do one as well but I want to learn its power limits before I start modding. So far I've played with a few of my buddies and Ive found this setup to work best from a roll :

- sport plus
- traction off
- auto mode
- pre-select the right gear
- floor it hard on take off

I've used this recipe for runs with an i8, M3 competition, and Lambo LP560 all of which I won

I feel the same way, won't be my last

I bought my first Porsche from Porsche of Beachwood too back in 2012. They are a top notch dealership. Enjoy your stunning Panamera!
