Talk me into/out of buying a used Panamera

I have a 2017 971 4S Panamera.

I bought it three years old, with mainly aesthetic options: 21" Turbo wheels, metallic GT Silver, smoked lights, quad exhausts, etc - so inside it's pretty basic apart from PASM.

I don't regret buying it at all - it's like a longer 911 and I feel it gives me enough grunt on the road with no practicality trade offs (in fact I have a Porsche roof transport system attached and carry bikes/box).

My car is probably worth £40/43K now, so in two years I'm sure you'll have a 4S/GTS within your range.

Nice, thanks. They seem to be quite practical cars considering they are a sports car, even having a reasonable boot space with the rear seats folded down.

Unless you have the fancy rear armrest thing. In which case only two sides fold down and the middle stud in place. Same with the rear blind - means there is the blind unit across the width of the boot.

Actually I’ve never tried to lower both seats ….
