I can't speak to all brands, but specific to the Panamera, generally, yes. You really do need to perform your due diligence along with a thorough PPI on a used Panamera before jumping in to one.
Porsche's PASM - You have to be prepared to replace it at some point and it's not cheap. The last time I got a formal quote from a Porsche dealer for a Gen 1 2016 Panamera GTS was somewhere in the range of $10,000 - $12,000 if my memory serves me correct.
There are aftermarket options through independent shops and will be a bit cheaper , but they will all eventually have to be replaced again. The air suspension setup on the Panamera is a bit complicated. But if you have the tools, service guide, and access to PIWIS, you could technically DIY as the procedure is very well documented by enthusiasts.
Edit: This sounds like a bad buy now.
