I have just been offered a Porsche Panamera by a friend at what I consider a good price. I am not looking to change my current car as I didn't have a replacement in mind. However I am interested in one of these. It is 4 years old 95K miles 4.8 4s. Wheat price should it be and what should I be looking for? I am a total novice where Porsche are concerned. I know it has full main dealer history and is in good condition. I am yet to view the car from a buyer perspective. Any advice much appreciated.

It's got full service history and is in very good condition. It belongs to a friend of mine. The only thing that has happened to it is he damaged the suspension on a pot hole on his drive. This was repaired at a main dealer. The price he is asking is very low. I also now do only 10 miles a day so would bring the mileage back to average over a couple of years. What are the servicing costs like?

Thanks for the replies. I'm seeing the car this week. What should I be looking for? I know pretty much zero about these cars.

I drove it today and have bought it. Everything was in order with full history. The price was what a trader had offered him who was going to retail it at £10K more. I'll have it by the end of the month and once it has spent a day in my garage being cleaned it will be pristine. Thanks for the replies.
