George J Saliba questions a Panamera owner's $300,000 valuation
Low mileage and limited production make the owner's case, but Saliba's auction estimate lands somewhere very different.

He Thought His $50K Car Was Worth $300K!
"In the threes." The Porsche owner means hundreds of thousands, and George J Saliba needs to check he has heard correctly.
Saliba has just suggested an auction price around $55,000 for the Panamera sitting in the owner's garage. The reply puts them a long way from a deal. His Short, "He Thought His $50K Car Was Worth $300K!", has drawn roughly 220,000 views in its first morning, an unusually fast start for his channel.
This isn't an everyday Panamera. Saliba identifies it as a Turbo S Executive Exclusive Series, and the owner says it is one of just a hundred made worldwide. It has barely been driven. He shows how the mahogany exterior paint matches the interior finish, while Saliba inspects the leather, rear-seat screens and ceramic brakes.
Those details give the exchange something more interesting than a seller simply asking for more money. The owner is emphasizing scarcity and specification; Saliba is estimating what the car would bring at auction. He compliments its condition without accepting the valuation. The owner mentions Barrett-Jackson as another route to selling his cars.
In the comments, the discussion turns to whether limited production necessarily creates resale demand. The longer collection-buying visit is also on Saliba's channel as "Customer Wanted $300,000 for a $50,000 Car?!", putting this garage-side disagreement within a broader appraisal.

George was like “in the what⁉️” 😂🤣
@HLSpenceSee it on YouTubeJust because its limited doesnt mean resale would be high. Its all about demand and i dont think people would lose their mind over this. Especially since its the same engine as the turbo s
