0a's 2010 Porsche Panamera 4s Good Spec High Miles!

[0a]

This was an impulse purchase, but I rather like this car. I got sent a link, and loved the look of the car. I think they have aged well in some ways for some of these cars. It's in a kind of brown over tan, with a good spec, and the nice alloys.

It was in Northern Ireland. All the best cars are furthest away.

The seller was fantastic. He bought the car from the original owner in 2025. It is in fantastic condition, with that Porsche leather smell.

It grips well, goes when you change down, but isn't that fast really. It's a car to take you to A to B in awful weather every time.

A few photos.













I'd like to take this on a roadtrip - I suspect it has a lot more to give than I've got out of it so far.

I've not seen another since I have bought it.

I am very impressed with the quality of the interior.

Looks nice!

Did you go to NI to collect it? If so, how was that trip?

[0a]

I did indeed, flew to Dublin and made my way up north.

I had a lovely weekend, what a nice part of the world that bit on the top of the ireland of Ireland is.

Lovely thing. Has it bugged you having the speedo off centre like that? Odd that they've put the rev counter bigger and central.

It's a standard Pork thing. My 27 year old 911 has the same.

What engine has it got? I think it's a fantastic looking thing. I'd love one, once 2 of the kids move out

There's a digital speedo at the bottom of the rev counter too. I never look at the actual speedo on my 981.

GT86 is the same, it's more sporty. I prefer it.

Typically there is a digital speedout reading within the rev counter dial

You've been quiet with cars lately Oa so time you were getting another and love the look of this. Hope it goes well for you and looking forward to hearing/seeing more.

Is the old Smoker WhatsApp group still going? I dropped out of it a while back but miss the chat.

Is that 153000miles?

If so the interior has worn incredibly well, looks a very nice place to sit.

These really do look fantastic value for the money and the more I see them, the more I want one despite being the size of a semidetached houses . Are they painful to run?

I don't really think about it when driving to be honest, as above I tend to read the digital speedo which I don't have a problem with

It's a 4.8 v8 with 400bhp. It's not particularly fast, but it does go impressively well in the wet compared to some of my other cars (I'm looking at you XFR!)

Still going strong. There has been a lot of chat about industrial cladding this afternoon!

It's in mega condition. The original owner must have had seat covers or something. None of the buttons or the steering wheel are worn. It's rather strange!

I am about to find out!

[Mr Tidy]

That's a great barge, and the interior looks a lovely place to be on a good Eurotrip!

Was there a Top Gear episode where they went to Scotland in one?

I liked the car back then. Still do now. Great find.

[okenemem]

can you say the price

Yes, Jeremy and James in the Panamera racing a letter to the Shetland islands I think.

I think these are doing what Porsche sometimes seem to do, create a pretty ugly car at the time (996, early Cayenne...) which over time starts to look far classier. Perfect colour/where/interior combo too. Very nice...

Totally agree with this. Though I have seen pictures of ones where the spec just doesn't work. Naff non-colours, black wheels and the like. I think these are quite spec dependent.

I gave the car a wash today. There’s a lot of bodywork! It’s both fairly large, and has quite slim glass panels.

I must admit I am liking the looks. I didn’t rate them when new. I guess compared to modern BMWs anything older is handsome!





The interior is pretty plush. It’s a shame that these high end saloons never really caught on.

How is the spoiler activated? Do you extend it for photos?

I think this particular one looks great and the alloys make it betterer. You're fortunate to have found this one.
