Why's a used Panamera so expensive?
Discussion
They are generally derided for their looks (although I think they have great road presence) and I thought that would depress used values to the point you'd be able to buy one now for 10 or £12,000.
The oldest are now six years old yet they are still £30,000!
Is there a particular reason for it 's slow depreciation?

I think you are expecting a bit too much...Can't answer the question on prices although seems to make sense what people have already said.
I must admit they're not great looking but they do have plenty of presence and I would imagine they drive really well. I'd definitely have one as a day to day car. They're still better looking than the two SUVs Porsche build, in my opinion that is.

You were expecting a 6 year old car that sold for £60k+ new to be around £10k... I'll buy 2 
I think you'll have to wait a little longer than that. Look at similar priced cars and track their depreciation. E46 M3's for instance, similar money new (well less) are only just at the £10k mark for a decent one and they're over 10 years old now.

As an example a 2013 S class can be had for less than £20,000, that is three years newer and 30% less.
A BMW 7 series (2010) can be had for £10,000 so yes, I'm surprised at how slow the depreciation has been, usually big saloons drop like a stone.
I guess it's a testament to the Porsche badge value.

Joking apart the OP does have a point - they're £10k more expensive than the Jaguar XJ for example. Rarity aside, there's a lot of brand tax going on there.
Used XJ from around 2011 and 2012 can be had for around £20k now.All the options count for nothing. I saw one for sale which was £80k new after all the bells and whistles selling for £24,500.
£50k wiped off in 5 years seems ridiculous.

Where are these cheap S Classes? I'll have three - presume interstellar mileage?A BMW 7 series (2010) can be had for £10,000 so yes, I'm surprised at how slow the depreciation has been, usually big saloons drop like a stone.

Its simple:- The Panamera, if you can get over the way it looks, wipes the floor with the competition, simple as.
I've really struggled thinking of a replacement for mine other than getting another one, so will wait until the 2nd gen car is released later this year.
Pricey, yes, but at least you get something back at the end, unlike any of its rivals
