Up for sale is my pristine 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo. Carbon Grey Metallic over the most beautiful interior color imaginable, Cognac Natural Leather. With 500 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque (which jumps to 567 when Launch Control is engaged as this car has the optional Sport Chrono package), this car rivals most supercars in speed and acceleration and yet has 4 doors. It can do 0 – 60 in less than 4 seconds while comfortably seating 4 people and two sets of golf clubs. It has less than 54,870 miles on it as of the listing (note that as this is my daily driver mileage will vary upon receipt of the vehicle).
This was, is and always will be my dream car. It is only for sale as my job is changing dramatically and as I’ll be on the road so much more that we are looking at electric and hybrid vehicles and sadly there just isn’t room in the garage for this beauty anymore.
I don’t know where to start, but the obvious place is the fact that this vehicle is Porsche Certified Pre-Owned until September of 2017. As any Porsche owner knows, this is a HUGE benefit as you essentially have a bumper-to-bumper warranty on this car for the next 12 months even though it is a 2010 model. The Porsche CPO Limited Warranty delivers coverage similar to buying a new Porsche and has been named "Best Luxury CPO Warranty" from Intellichoice for the second straight year. A screenshot from Porsche’s database showing the expiration date of the CPO warranty is attached as a picture.
Original MSRP on this car was $165k, and that’s NOT including all the goodies that I’ll be including with this baby. The Porsche Build Sheet is attached as a picture.
This car has every imaginable option for this year that I could think of. It took me over a year to find this exact set of options, which include:
In addition to the above features, I’m including:
For the cons, there aren’t many but I want to be totally transparent. As a 6 year old car, there are some superficial surface scratches in areas you’d expect (I’ve killed many a bug driving this vehicle). There are also some small scrapes on the passenger side lower front bumper, total size is only about 1’ by 2” and it’s barely visible as it’s practically underneath the bumper, but again I want to be totally transparent as I am aware that current and prospective Porsche owners want to know even the smallest details.
I’m starting the bidding at $49,999, which is an INSANE price for this car with these options and being CPO-ed. A quick Autotrader search shows that this car with the CPO warranty from a Porsche dealer is around $60k, and not all of them have every option like this car does, not to mention over $5k in extras (wheels, accessories, etc). And as a bonus I’ll also make this final offer… if the Buy It Now price is met, upon receipt of full payment I will offer to the buyer ONE of the following:
·A $500 rebate to help with shipping
-- OR --
·Up to $500 worth of body work at my usual body shop to take care of the minor cosmetic scratches
The title is at a small local credit union 15 minutes up the road and will be sent as soon as the full payment is remitted. If prospective buyers would like a Porsche Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI) I can arrange to have one done at the dealer I get my regular services at (Porsche of Warwick, Warwick RI) at the buyer’s cost.
I do reserve the right to end the auction early if the Buy It Now is not met as this car is for sale locally and on other sites as well. Please ensure financing before purchase as deposit will beforfeited if buyer backs out after purchase.
Finally, I truly hope this vehicle goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have. It was a labor of love finding this car and it hurts to part ways with it but in the end I hope someone will have as much fun as I have with it.
