The PORSCHE PANAMERA (2009-15) 4DR SALOON 4.8 SS 400 EU5 S PDK AUTO7 is a four-door luxury performance saloon with a practical hatchback-style tailgate. It sits near the top of the UK used-car market, pairing executive-car comfort with sports-car pace and Porsche design. In mycarcheck.com data, this model has 100 look-ups covering 32 distinct VINs, a sample for this particular high-end car. The average private-sale valuation is £18,900, with 75,000 miles recorded on average, annual mileage of 4,000 and just over four previous keepers. It’s best suited to drivers wanting a distinctive, comfortable long-distance car, with room for family or passengers, rather than an economical first car. The 4.8-litre V8 and seven-speed PDK automatic deliver rapid responses and an engaging drive; running costs and fuel use are likely to be substantial. Against luxury rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Maserati Quattroporte, the Panamera feels more sporting while remaining practical.
