You guys are a bad influence..
This is local and looks to be pretty nice, Thoughts? No CPO,which gives me pause but a ppi will alleviate some worry. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/ctd/d/sacramento-2008-porsche-cayenne-gts-awd/7348095745.html |

That red one on FB marketplace looks like it was ridden hard and put away wet.

So how many miles is too many ? I am looking at a couple of physically clean pepper wagons but 150-160K miles . Assuming decent maintenance records and no funny sounds/smells and test drive is good what says the collective here ?
Anything used is a crapshoot , my biggest concern would be bore scoring but I don't think the V6/V8's are as prone to bore scoring as the flat six configuration but I could be wrong . While the buy in prices are attractive a money pit could be lurking. Any advice ?

The expensive ones are the cheap ones.
And vice-versa.

This one caught my eye , heavily optioned . Ride height looks low but I assume this has air adjustable suspension and is set to low . Just a guess on my part .

It does say " Adjustable Suspension" so likely PASM (OE Air) - that's a must-have IMO. Yet rare in the S.
No full leather. Looks like a reasonable deal.

I would ask how many owners and when and where. VIN checks may not tell you as much as you would like but they will tell you where it's been and when. Ask why they are selling it. Ad says every factory option. Ask what Adjustable Suspension means: ask if it has an air suspension and PASM or just an air suspension. Also PSM and PASM are two different things. Only a small fraction of Cayennes came with PASM. The height does look low. It must be in loading mode which is not a driving mode. Fun fact, I had my air suspension Cayenne all the way up today to change the oil. Left it up and when I got on the highway, really got on the gas to merge into traffic and the truck automatically went down to low mode. Hadn't seen that before since I'm never up high. Does moonroof mean the panoramic one? Or just a normal sunroof. The pano's are prone to all kinds of problems. Service history is key on a Cayenne.

PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) controls the dampers/shocks, PSM (Porsche Stability Management) is smart traction control.

When I was researching Cayennes, I found plenty of threads in which owners report spring suspension trucks with PASM. Here's one https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/cayenne-958/265404-pasm-not-pasm.html

In case anyone is interested, I'll be getting rid of my Cayenne around November.
111K miles + whatever miles it gets til I sell.
