Things are starting to come back down, dealers holding the bag, I'm seeing cheaper none rebuilt cars popping up between the $5-10 range again. You can find golf r all day everyday for low 30s maybe even less if you throw cash in their face. Since they sure aren't going up anymore. Few more months at these rates sure will continue to help us buyers.

What a piece of shit. It still looks like the elephant man in car guise, it adds complexity of a hybrid without being super fast and it’ll depreciate worst than a Macan S with 5 accidents and all female driven asian owners.

The e-hybrid sport turismo variant is the worst of the entire Panamera line up. It is riddled with issues.

I love the Panamera, but this just isn't it. No bueno.

What's wrong with it? It's the same drivetrain as the Cayenne?

Yes, I believe the e-hybrid is eligible for the HOV stickers.

Aside from typical Panamera issues, the e-hybrid is known to have PDK issues and no-start conditions, and losing power to the entire car out of nowhere and without warning. Oh yeah, and battery failures aren't uncommon either.

You'd think after IMS and borescoring BS from Porsche, they'd figure this out. Nope.

I've heard from my friends that the e hybrid battery warranty was extended to 8 years/160k but even then it's quickly coming up.

nearly 90g for a 107k km base panamera hybrid?
this is a way better deal for a few grand more.. 31k kms, 4S with the 2.9 not the slow 3 liter in the base cars

Big yikes.

Ditto.

Some dude on Rennlist got screwed big time by Porsche where his e-hybrid battery died 2 days after warranty ended and they told him to stuff it. No good will. Nothing. Zilch.

Technically that's a classic now. Roll back the clock to when I was that age and at least the people I knew couldn't afford any of the cool classics that were a decade+ older than we were. In high school it was any cheap POS we could get our hands on that was usually a couple years older than us, then into our 20's slightly cool stuff a couple years younger than we were.

The crappy thing is (being lazy and assuming you're 24) that puts you into that dead zone of the early 2000's. Off the top of my head all I can think of from 02 is the Celica and the RSX lol. Plus the used market being fucky plus inflation and you've got a lot more against you than we did.

ah shit, was gonna correct you and say you're wrong but i realized i am turning 24 this year ... I can feel my knees going already

What you said really put things into perspective though, I'd assume my equivalents would be '00-'10 sports cars such as 350z, RX8, FRS/BRZ (soon) , or some others that have been mentioned

^basically these. Unless you feel the need to be a jdm hotboi influencer or have the financial means (or parking space) to afford a (any) car, you're probably best saving the money and putting it towards your future or other hobbies.

The Gen Zs in my hood are taking on car culture well - G37s / 350z, GTIs and other fart cans are out here bumming around roads at night. Just drove by a cop pulling over a kid in a NA Miata.

The NA looked pretty beat up so it probably isn't worth much. Or the social media clout from pop-up headlights justified the cost.

Kinda sus to build this up, call it your pride and joy, and suddenly sell it. How reliable or streetable is this? I don't think I'd want to know.

Do I get in trouble for my own post?

90+ gentlemen came in to sell us his car, he said he is just too old to drive.

Time capsule ~~
One owner
No accidents
only 25,867KM

2013 Elantra Sedan
Limited (top trim)
Heated leather seats
Sunroof
Bluetooth

I will say fair price considering market, $17,470 out the door including all fees and taxes.

Definitely will give you trouble free ownership for quite a while.

For some kid's first car? Or just a beater/additional car for a big family?

Good on gas and insurance.

That low KMs lolol, I had to do a double take yesterday during appraisal yesterday.
