Finished in the Paint to Sample color of Miami Blue over Black and Chalk leather interior, this 2018 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive features a luxurious extended body configuration and a twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an electric motor, producing a combined output of 462 HP. It was sold from Porsche South Bay at an original sticker price of over $162k including the Anthracite Birch Interior Package, extended dashboard trim in leather, Alcantara headliner, illuminated door sills, Ambient Lighting, Night Vision Assist, Porsche InnoDrive with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), ParkAssist, power sunblinds, SportDesign side skirts, thermally and noise-insulated glass, LED-Matrix Design headlights in black, Sport Tailpipes in black, 21” Exclusive Design wheels, and much more. Acquired by the seller, its third owner, in March 2025, this Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive is now being offered for auction out of California with approximately 26k miles showing on the odometer.
Configured as an Executive model with extended bodywork, this Panamera was factory-finished in the Paint to Sample color of Miami Blue. Options include LED-Matrix Design headlights in black with PDLS+, window trim in high-gloss black, thermally and noise-insulated glass, SportDesign side skirts, painted air outlet grilles and mirrors, a rear PORSCHE logo in black, brake calipers in black, Sport Tailpipes in black, and 21” Exclusive Design wheels in Silver Platinum. New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires were mounted earlier in 2025, within the last 1,500 miles. The car is also equipped with LED taillights, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming mirrors, a power-operated rear spoiler, soft-close doors, and a power rear liftgate. The CARFAX shows damage reported to the right front end in 2022, right side and left-rear end in 2023, an unspecified minor damage in January 2024, and minor damage to the rear and left-rear end in 2024. The seller indicates thicker paint meter readings on the right front quarter, suggesting it was refinished. Noted imperfections include small nicks on the side skirts, two scrapes on the hood near the driver’s position, and some normal rock chips around the exterior. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
Appointed with Black and Chalk leather upholstery, the four-seat cabin features the optional Anthracite Birch Interior Package, extended dashboard trim in leather, an Alcantara headliner, and illuminated door sill guards in brushed aluminum. The optional Premium Package Plus adds heated and ventilated 14-way Power Seats, heated rear seats, 4-zone automatic climate control, Comfort Access, the Memory Package, and a Bose sound system. Other options include a central tachometer and Sport Chrono stopwatch dial in white, power sunblinds for the rear compartment, Ambient Lighting with rear compartment lighting, Night Vision Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Porsche InnoDrive with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Power Steering Plus, and ParkAssist (front and rear) including Surround View.
The plug-in hybrid drivetrain features a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine paired with an electric motor and a 14.1-kilowatt-hour battery pack, producing a combined system output of 462 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque. All four wheels are driven through an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission. Performance features include self-leveling PASM air suspension, electric power-assisted steering, a brake-actuated limited-slip differential, and a regenerative four-wheel disc brake system. Under the seller’s ownership, the front radiator shutters were replaced along with Adaptive Cruise Control brackets and trim, damaged air ducts, and washer nozzle lines. The rear trunk shocks and lift unit, O2 sensor, front USB fuse, front axle, and a cracked engine mount were also replaced under warranty. An 8-year/60k-mile Fidelity Platinum exclusionary warranty remains in effect until 5/8/2033 with a $250 deductible.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Welcome to my special Paint-To-Sample Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive! I always wanted a PTS Porsche, and this car really scratched that itch. In years of daily P-car browsing, I can count on one hand the number of PTS Panameras I've seen come up for sale. I cannot overstate how special this car presents in person, both inside and out, and the attention it gets despite the somewhat checkered Carfax. Someone is going to get a great deal on this car with many trouble-free miles ahead under the Fidelity warranty.”

@LunaPorsche I'll be sure to post the paperwork when I get back on Wednesday morning. I believe the blue streak is the drivers door being open when I took the photos, no issues with the cameras. I can try to recreate those shots when I get back with the doors closed
Beautiful looking car for sure! I look forward to the warranty paper/terms being posted, and second Yags' request for service records on work done.What is going on with the blue streak in the 360 cameras in pictures 118 and 119? Is one of the front cameras misaligned?
@IProfosorx Shoot me a direct message, for those interested in seeing the car I'm out of town for a wedding until the last day. I should be back in time for viewings that morning before the auction ends
Hi, I live on the Peninsula and would like to come check out the car. Please let me know if you’re available before the auction ends.
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Hello can i come see the car ?
@russet You should be commended for a full disclosure on this fine Panamera. You certainly have spent a lot of time and money sorting everything out. If might help if you posted the service records for the work you have done.
Bid in the amount of $250
@Yags I've spent 6 months with the car since purchase, I readily acknowledge that the car's value has already dropped to a fraction of what I bought it for due to an even more tarnished history now. The reserve price reflects this and I chose to be as open as possible about the work that I've had done so that the next buyer is not blindsided with this car the way I was after purchase. This car spent 7 weeks with Porsche Redwood City while they repaired every fault and they inspected every nook and crevice, obvious things that should have been caught when I had the car PPI'ed at Porsche Bethesda before I purchased it or when I had it serviced at Porsche Burlingame. I did everything "right" with this car and the upside for the buyer is that I expect I've taken the brunt of the value hit. Whoever gets this car has pretty much no value left to lose based on history, and has the upside of the warranty to cover any reliability issues that might crop up. It is still a special car, I bought the warranty with intent to keep it for years to come and likely would continue holding onto it to amortize this loss except that since moving a few months back I no longer have a daily driving commute meaning this car would spend far too much time sitting.
Responding to Merket's questions first:
1. I bought the car at the end of March as mentioned on the listing with 2 reports of damage. Carfax has since added the two entries from years prior, which does seem consistent with the paint meter readings I've posted. I do not have any records from prior ownership, the second owner did not seem to be the most responsible with it. I went to great lengths to refresh the vehicle going so far as to take it back to another Porsche dealer after the first dealer failed to fully address everything.
2. Previous CPO is long expired
3. I purchased the 8 year Fidelity warranty in May as I've done on every used Porsche I've purchased. It transfers for a $50 fee. These are expensive cars to own and the Panamera is by far the priciest as it's almost a demonstration vehicle for cutting edge tech for Porsche and is full of costly things to break. The warranty has already covered $7k of service and will cover effectively anything that is not a wear component, per most Porsche service departments I've talked to Fidelity is even better than CPO as they're more likely to cover things like suspension and other parts that are gray area "wear" items. I think its a huge highlight for this vehicle as the Fidelity brokers on Rennlist no longer sell the warranties and it's quite difficult to get a new one now. Hybrid components and battery are covered, I'll upload terms and paperwork from the warranty when I get a chance but I recommend reading the Fidelity Platinum Megathread on Rennlist and not taking my word for it.
This is an awesome color and loaded with great options! What is clearly disconcerting is you are selling after 4 months after fixing a number of front end systems items which seems to indicate they were damaged and not repaired correctly or missing during the front end collision prior to your ownership. Any buyer is going to wonder if anything else is lurking that needs to be addressed. This could be an excellent buy for someone willing to take the risk. GLWTA
can you confirm:
1) looks like you just have it for 4 months? and 4 damage reports under the prev owner (not current owner)? do you any documentation
2) What is the status on the prev porsche CPO warranty?
3) When/by whom was the Fidelity warranty purchased, transferable and covers the hybrid battery stuff?

Yes unfortunately the car came to me with the bumper drilled. I prefer the no plate look as I have it on my boxster but it hasn't bothered me as much as I thought it would.
looks like the front license plate is drilled into the bumper? 😱
Hi all, excited to be listing this special Panamera for auction. Paint meter photos have been uploaded, by my assessment it looks like the front right quarter panel and front passenger door have been repainted, and the rest look to be original. Paint presents quite beautifully, definitely no outward indications of the repaint and I'm happy to provide additional pictures as needed. After the photoshoot I replaced the UV faded left rear wheel hub crest and the missing end cap on the right side skirt. Happy to answer any questions as the auction progresses!
