Panamera: Two Years Since Delivery<\/h3>\n

The reason I started this Porsche blog was because of the 970 Panamera Edition. It was such an amazing car that every time I drove it, I was thrilled, and I kept sharing my excitement with my husband. Then he said, “No, you telling me every time\u2026 I already know how great the Panamera is. Why don\u2019t you just write a blog about it?<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"Porsche<\/p>\n

After parting ways with the Panamera Edition, the Panamera Turbo came to our home in October 2017. Time flies, and it\u2019s almost been two years since delivery. So today, I decided to recalculate the maintenance costs of the Panamera over these two years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Calculating Panamera Maintenance Costs<\/h3>\n

When talking about maintenance costs, parking fees and highway tolls vary greatly depending on your region and household situation, so I decided to focus on other maintenance expenses.<\/p>\n

\u2460 Fuel Costs<\/h4>\n

The Panamera has traveled about 25,405 km<\/strong> in these two years. I don\u2019t really feel like I\u2019ve driven that much, but since I often take the Panamera on long trips (to places like Fuji Speedway and Kyushu)<\/span>, the mileage naturally adds up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The overall fuel efficiency so far is about 7.35 km\/l<\/strong> (13.6 l\/100 km)<\/span>, which means the Panamera has used 3,456 liters of gasoline to cover 25,405 km. The average nationwide price of premium gasoline over the past year was 153 yen per liter, so the total fuel cost comes to 528,768 yen.<\/p>\n

Fuel costs really add up\u2026 ( -_- )<\/p>\n

\u2461 Oil Changes & Inspections<\/h4>\n

Here\u2019s a breakdown of the Panamera\u2019s oil change (and top-up) and inspection costs:<\/p>\n

\u2460 Oil change (late October 2017, about 1,500 km, at dealer): 47,558 yen
\n\u2461 Oil top-up (late March 2018, about 6,500 km, DIY): about 4,500 yen (2L)
\n\u2462 Oil change (June 2018, about 8,400 km, at dealer): 40,818 yen
\n\u2463 1-year inspection (October 2018, about 13,246 km, at dealer):
\n\u2192 Joined the PSMP (Porsche Scheduled Maintenance Plan) 3-year plan: 319,680 yen + tire puncture repair 5,184 yen
\n\u2464 1-year inspection (September 2019, 24,851 km, at dealer): 0 yen (covered by PSMP)<\/p>\n

By the way, the PSMP 3-year plan we joined last year also includes the first vehicle inspection fee.<\/p>\n
