Here's something you don't see every day! A ten year old Porsche Panamera S stranded in someone's back yard with "a few bullet holes" in it. And it's in southern California and not in say, Arkansas.

Its up in NoCal  off Hwy 101  100 plus miles north of San Fransisco , 

right in the Pot growing area !

Cool car to  build a Safari look  , just replace the bad windows with mosquito nets !

It's probably best I don't learn the history of the car, but interesting nonetheless.

Bonus points for having a dog in the photo.

I'm glad that's not local.

That's Avenue of the Giants country. You can look at the car and try and find some Ewoks as well.

Because a fully depreciated Porsche needed more red flags....

A Dakar / Safari build would be epic.

In reply to californiamilleghia :

That's right. It's on the way to where my dad grew up: Ferndale. Somehow I got it mixed up with Ridgecrest or something in SoCal; early onset or something.

This doesn't help any though. I have 4k and I know where that is. Also, bring a gun just in case they want more bullet holes than a few...

More pictures now. It's incredible how someone wants to get four thousand bucks for a stupidly neglected car and cannot take an hour to blow out the interior with a leaf blower and do a minimal exterior wash. The empty Modelo bottle in the attached pic probably 'splains some of that.

I guess the free bottle of NuFinish could fix most of it. laugh

I came here expecting a dumpsterfire of a car, and I was not left disappointed...  I wonder if there is enough recoup left in it for someone to take a shot at the Challenge/Chump/something else...  They're heavy pigs, but they are well sorted performance-wise.

Not sure what I was expecting the interior to look like, but it wasn't that. Yuck.

Hard to believe that there was a time when someone drove that off a lot, smiling and shiny new.

I can tell from the nasty pics that it has Camel interior, PASM, sport chrono, Bose, and 4 zone heated/cooled seats, so this was a $130k+ car just over a decade ago.

I bet parking it out would yield well into the five digits.

Easily.  You're essentially buying a good-running PDK for the asking price... Everything else is Bonus.  Would be a very easy and profitable flip.  If I weren't on the other side of the country, I'd buy it... albeit carefully, haha.

They mentioned bullet holes, but didn't mention someone died in the front passenger seat.
