Porsche 971 Panamera S

The second-generation Porsche Panamera, known as the 971, arrived for the 2017 model year with massively improved styling that finally matched its performance. The Panamera S model sits in a sweet spot, equipped with a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 producing 440 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. It routes power through an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission to all 4 wheels, resulting in a 0-60 mph time of just 4.2 seconds, or 4.0 with the optional Sport Chrono Package.

As a used performance car, the 971 Panamera S represents a strong value proposition. With original MSRPs often exceeding $115,000 with options, the current average sale price of around $74,000 shows significant depreciation has already occurred. Buyers get a modern, fast, and luxurious 4-door sedan that drives like a proper Porsche, making it an attractive alternative to new, less exclusive competitors.

Market values are directly tied to model year, mileage, and options. Desirable features like Sport Chrono, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), and Carbon Ceramic Brakes (PCCB) command higher prices. As these cars age, expect maintenance costs to be a factor, but well-maintained examples are holding their value better than the first-generation models.

Based on 37 recent sales, prices range from around $55,000 for early, higher-mileage examples to $105,000 for pristine, highly-optioned cars.
