Any one have an idea why so many so soon??
It only seems a couple of months ago I was checking and there were only a hand full and non less than about £95K.
On saying that I have seen quite a few at my local Porsche Centre being worked on. One was in the workshop for about 3 week.

Porsche's target buyers might be going for the Jag instead, we won't know the full story until Porsche submits the annual report...It only seems a couple of months ago I was checking and there were only a hand full and non less than about £95K.

So £2695 of the monthly payments just covers the depreciation!
I wonder what his total monthly bill is...£4000??
Assuming no deposit and an interest rate of about 5% flat, the payments would be about £3300. fI wonder what his total monthly bill is...£4000??
king mental! You could probably buy a Zonda for those sort of monthlys!
Looks like that monthly depreciation figure was about right assuming this was bought at list:

I have no need for a lux 4/5 seater but if I did, major preference over the MB S.
Not trying to be a kill-joy but loads of markets hate hatchbacks. Not good in extreme cold or hot climates, and I'm guessing that's where the money is.
Just a thought. Could explain that 3 year figure.
A 3 year old Panamera or a new 3 series 3 litre diesel?
I wonder.

I think everyone buying a Panamera knows the rules. This type of car will always suffer heavy depreciation, look at large Mercs, BMWs, Bentleys, Audis and so on. The only cars that stand any hope at all of staving off depreciation are sporty niche market cars which have an appeal long into their future.
As a car the Panamera is stunning. I've been fortunate to spend some time in both the turbo and the 2S. Both different cars, the turbo is a poised panther waiting to be let loose at the drop of a hat and that 4 wheel drive system is constantly seeking to find grip or distribute power as it thinks best. It's diffs working overtime to reign in the wall of brute force.
The 2S is an altogether more laid back machine. Powerful enough for sure but without the complex drivetrain to keep a governing eye on quite where the power goes. The old girl is a bit lively at the back end and the PSM system earns it's keep. You sense rear tyres might be seen as day to day consumables as they get lit up like fire works on bonfire night. Just as you know that full throttle blast in your boat is going to cost you a couple of extra gallons of red so you know your slightly loutish right boot will be funding the Bibendum winter skiing trip to Courchevel.
The Panamera isn't a game for players trying to gain a perch on the super car ladder praying values don't drop otherwise disaster strikes. "I can afford to own one providing they hold their values and nothing goes wrong", probably means you'd be better off looking elsewhere, for the moment at least.
Values will fall and like the 928 there will be some Stella mileage examples floating around before too long as people use them to cross continents before lunchtime and the length of Britain before breakfast.
I've always enjoyed the practicality of the Cayenne, something of a bargain in comparison, but the Panamera is a bit special. The turbo especially makes you feel you've arrived and you hop out at journey's end with a little extra spring in your step.
Keep smiling.
