Left Brain Beats Right Brain

For all those slaves to fashion who didn't buy a first generation Panamera because they didn't like the looks, thank you! Go ahead and buy that new 2017 at full MSRP. It looks fantastic and the performance is even better. The market speaks as remaining new MY 2016s sit in inventory, prices dropping like Presidential popularity pole numbers. I was seriously considering several prospects at dealerships across the country when I came to my senses. Is new car smell worth a $20K depreciation hit as soon as you sign the paperwork? Right brain screams yes, left brain say whoa! I ended up buying a cream puff, highly optioned, low miles, CPO, GTS variant for $35k less than a similar virgin car. $6.99 buys me a bottle of Griot's "New Car Scent" and I'm driving a monster Teutonic hot rod like I stole it ... And that scent in the cabin? That's the smell of money!
