When I replace mine, it will be for a GTS..

What year is yours? (I'm so behind the times. )

Mine is a 2008.

Then apparently a lot of people were hot on the truck and he had a guy see it and should have said, I've got a guy coming down tomorrow, he has first dibs, will let you know what he says... Instead he took a large deposit from the guy. He was easily convinced of the error in judgment because he already knew he had done the wrong thing.

Okay, that explains it better. Lay low in case the other guy recognizes the truck on the road...

The other guy is in Jersey so I'm safe for now.

I am going to trade my 2008 V6 with 170,000 miles for a 2014 V6 platinum edition with 63,000 miles. Getting pretty excited! took me a while to find the right one with a tow hitch, relatively low miles, panoramic moonroof and roof bars. The 08 was starting to feel like it needed new shocks, shifting got rough, small exhaust leak…time to let her go. But now I know how good those engines are. And I am also getting 5 more hp, two more gears and better gas mileage. And ventilated seats, backup camera, start-stop…all that modern stuff i don’t really need .

So what do you guys think of this one:

Looks nice and the price is in the ballpark for the miles, especially in the current used car market. I had the opportunity to buy a similar GTS, actually newer, (2010), for thousands less in MN last summer but I wavered and it sold to someone else. They are desirable in mint condition with records, etc.

That's my truck though I have a black interior and roof racks. I love mine Scott, if a PPI checks everything out, I'm sure you would enjoy the heck out it.

While I haven't driven a Turbo, I have driven an S and would probably agree with him, the GTS is the one to get if you want any kind of excitement while driving an SUV. I race mine around the circuit I take my 84 on and it's terribly fun.

Yes, that's sweet. Most of the 6MT's on BAT come standard with 120k in mileage. Not that it's a bad thing, but you rarely see a low mile one.

I've heard that they don't really drive well with a manual transmission. It's not exactly a sports car. The price is ridiculous, (though it's par for BaT), you can buy the same SUV for less than half the current bid with the Tiptronic. Which I'd prefer.

Robo calls? I gets the extended warentee call? Odd?

Im in the market also for a Cayenne...would love to purchase one from a board member. Prefer the GTS or S but willing to talk about other models.

This is sooooo tempting !!!

/\ why does that turbo have a vinyl steering wheel? (Leather was standard)

Replaced after an airbag deployment ?

My son just bought a CPO 2015 Cayenne Turbo (V8) from a Porsche dealer in Tennessee. It's midnight blue with a black interior and appears to be in excellent condition. Over the last several years, this is the 3rd CPO Porsche he has purchased. He has had very good service from each of the Porsche vehicles and only had to use the CPO warranty for some relatively minor items. Buying CPO cars appears to be a really good way to own and enjoy a really nice, well equipped vehicle without much risk! Good luck with your new Pcar.

If you are looking for early Cayennes, in my opinion the GTS is the one to get. You get extra power, amazing seats, a robust options package, wheels, exhaust note and so on. Nothing wrong with an S it's just that the GTS has so many extra little, some big, things going for it that it's ultimately worth the extra money over an S I think. I've driven my 2010 3000 miles so far and am leaving for Colorado tomorrow to trailer back a car with it. Will be a great trip in part due to the truck.

This may apply to the later Cayennes too.

CPO would be a smart buy.

That /\ is a deal, Peter.

Clearly it needs some cosmetic help, but that has air suspension on an S-model. (like the GTS)

That's what I thought . I can't tell in the first pic if the hood paint is roached or if it is dew. To me it looks like dew on the hood and front portion of roof but the windshield looks clean . Fairly low miles for the price.
