I'm doing the single parent thing currently and while my kid is in school I drive some of the local auto auctions and I've fallen in love with the Panamera. Over the last 2 years I've driven 25 different 1st generations spanning all trim levels. For me the GTS is what I plan on adding to my family with the excuse of being the perfect "family" cars. And for the most part all 25 have been rock solid and the ones that weren't only had very minor issues. I live in Washington state and I live 2 miles from Pacific raceways and will be taking it to the drag strip and road course.
Scott awesome to hear your story. Honestly I love to know your experience. Also great to know that the excuse of perfect family car worked. It is true 👌
I envy you for having access to so many Porsches! Are those auctions dealer only? I have a 911 and been considering a panamera for daily and road trips
@@invictusporsche It’s great. I believe it’s a real bargain for what it is. I got a 2013 4S with no accident, clear service history, CPO ’til summer 2026 and 92000km on the odometer. Interior aged incredibly well. Can’t tell it’s a 10yr old car.
Nice!!! Congrats!! I’m thinking getting one as well…but I’m a bit afraid😬😬 I’m driving a 2011 Mercedes E350 wagon( love it) and I would replace it with an AMG version of it but they are so much more expensive, almost double than the Porsche. How you like the Porsche so far? Thank you in advance for your reply
@@marcelcovaci9922 Thanks! I like it a fair bit. Interior quality is a lot better than many modern cars. I like the physical buttons a lot more than touch screens. Engine is pleasant but not ugly loud. The car is fairly long and spacious. Unlike many other cars my wife doesn’t feel sleepy in the back as much. I drove for 3000 kms already, had to add some motor oil and that’s it.The car feels special to me.
…. Watching this is difficult. I’m Very tempted getting one, I found one 2011 4S, 50kmiles. It would replace my 2011 Mercedes S212 with 90k miles. I kinda want to get it…. I have cancer, things are under control but you never know down the road…I don’t want to use my illness as an excuse (or pity, please do not feel bad, others have it much worse than I do!!)
You only live once, if it is within your means and going to bring you some joy then do it. If you buy well you may not lose a great deal of money on it. I do wish you a healthy recovery, cancer is an awful illness.
@@invictusporsche thank you for your words. Well the car is gone, I missed my opportunity on that one. But it’s ok, never fall in love with a car, there will be others.

The sound from the exhaust was like music to my ears
Glad you liked it Paulo 😊

Haha that’s awesome. How is it now? Does it meet your expectations?

Do you script these videos??
They are partly scripted as is the case for most professional TH-camrs.
that was sound of exhaust not a sound of engine
Thanks for the observation sir
You cant get that sound out of any other ENGINE than v8
