Panamera, 2 years after delivery

It was the 970 Panamera Edition that inspired me to start this Porsche blog. It was such a nice car that I was so impressed every time I drove it that I told my husband of my excitement each time I drove it, and he said, "I already know enough good points about Panamera, so why don't you write a blog about it?He was told, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

After that, we parted ways with the Panamera Edition and the Panamera Turbo came to our home in October 2017, and it has been almost two years since we took delivery of the car. So today, we are going toMaintenance cost of a Panamera for 2 yearsWe decided to re-calculate the

Calculate Panamera maintenance costs

Maintenance costs, such as parking and highway fees, vary considerably depending on the region and your family's situation.

(1) Gasoline

The past two years.Panamera has approximately 25,405 kmIt is. I don't remember running that much at all, but I went away(Fuji Speedway, Kyushu, etc.)When I do, I often take the Panamera, which inevitably increases the mileage.

And now.Total fuel consumption is approximately 7.35 km/l(13.6l/100km)So, in other words, they use 3,456 liters of gasoline to drive 25,405 km. The average price of high-octane gasoline in Japan over the past year is said to be 153 yen/liter, so the calculation comes to 528,768 yen.

Gasoline costs are ridiculous... (-_-)

(2) Oil change and inspection

The following are the amounts for oil changes (topping off) and inspections for the Panamera.

(1) Oil change (end of October 2017, mileage of approx. 1500 km, at dealer): 47558 yen
(2) Oil refill (end of March 2018, mileage of approx. 6500 km, by myself): approx. 4500 yen (2 L)
(3) Oil change (June 2018, mileage: approx. 8,400 km, at dealer): 40,818 yen
(4) 1-year inspection (October 2018, mileage approx. 13246 km, at dealer).
→Entering the PSMP (Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan) 3-year plan: 319,680 yen + tire puncture repair 5,184 yen
(5) 1-year inspection (September 2019, mileage 24851 km, at dealer): 0 yen (as it is in PSMP)

Incidentally, the 3-year PSMP (Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan) plan that I joined last year includes the cost of the first vehicle inspection.

First oil change for Porsche Panamera Turbo - cost 47,558 yen

Second oil change after delivery of Porsche Panamera - cost was 40,818 yen

(iii) Automobile tax

The Panamera Turbo is the first of its kind in theTotal displacement over 3.5 liters and under 4 litersThe annual automobile tax is 66,500 yen since the car enters the "K" category. 2 years have passed, so the tax will be 133,000 yen.

The automobile tax is expensive...I mean, what is the point of the automobile tax (-_-) If that tax is used to repair highways, etc., it's still unaccounted for in reality.

(4) Tire replacement

The wheel size of the Panamera is 21 inches and the tires are worn here.

Front 275 / 35 ZR 21 (103Y) XL Pirelli P-Zero
Lear 315 / 30 ZR 21 (105Y) XL Pirelli P-Zero

By the way, I have yet to replace a single tire, but during my recent one-year inspection, I was told that "The remaining grooves on the front tires are getting low, so I may need to change them soon.They said, "I'm sorry.

So my husband recently did some research on the Internet about tires for the Panamera and found that they were $50,000 a piece, "Michelin Pilot Sport 4It seems that they found a tire that is "the best"... I haven't decided yet whether or not I will replace it with this one, but that would cost about 200,000 yen just for the tire.

As for tire replacement, we will ask Nishinomiya Base to replace the tires as usual, and the labor cost would be about 10,000 yen.

(5) Automobile insurance

Car insurance is with Tokio Marine & Nichido and costs about 360,000 yen per year.(Bodily injury, property, personal accident, and vehicle insurance: principal + spouse)The total cost of the project is $720,000. This means that it cost 720,000 yen over two years.

Tat, that's expensive...!

When I asked my husband about it, he said, "I bought my Panamera Turbo new, so I have a shitload of car insurance coverage.He said, "I'm sorry.

What is the total Panamera maintenance cost for two years?

I'm sure it cost more when you consider the cost of hand washing the car, parking when you go out, and all the other stuff, but if you add up all the rough two-year maintenance costs I've calculated so far...

Wow, you can afford to buy a new car with just this...!

Of course, buying a car is one thing, but maintaining it is even more expensive.... I feel deeply these days that I should be more grateful to my husband every day....
