Thoughts on a Cayenne?
 

So I'm looking at a 2014 Cayenne from the dealer. It is CPO and will have a 2 year warranty. This Cayenne has 28K miles and they just serviced the entire car at the dealer including brakes, battery, plugs, oil, and everything else included.

My question is do I pull the trigger on a 7 year old Cayenne? What price would you pay? There is zero defects and drive great. Probably the best kept Cayenne out there.

Any comments?

You will love it. With it being a CPO, you should be good to go.

Thank you Roswell

Which model? A buddy just bought an older one from a private party. I think it's a 2009 GTS. I'm looking forward to driving it.

We just used the crap out of the CPO on my wife's Macan S. The PDK took a dump at 71k. We had bought it at around 60K but it was in such good shape, one owner, etc. they CPO'd it. Retail the PDK swap would have been over $25k parts and labor.

They don't even try to find the problem. Did a couple of tests to see if they could re-program it and call it a "mechanical failure" if it won't. Full replacement. Long winded way of saying the service under the CPO is great. I just wish it was a longer timeline. I bought an Acura MDX years ago CPO from Acura. 5 years/100k was their deal back then. Not sure if it is that good now.

It is a Cayenne, 2014 Platinum Edition.

I really tried to get my wife to drive a Cayenne. The Macan is so small in the back. My 911 might have more rear seat room. Sounds like a great rig. Do some searching on Cayenne's here. I think you'll find the consensus is positive and the base 6 cyl is a robust and long lasting engine. Good luck and post pics when you get it!

This topic needs a sticky note....it's once per month.

There are HUGE differences in Cayenne options.

Engine: 6, 8, Turbo 8

Suspension: steel spring or Air/PASM

Interior: Vinyl/leather, Full leather. ...steel key or Entry and go ... seat memory options... front and or rear seat heat... pano-roof... So many variations.

...

I've been loving my 04 S with PASM and full leather for the past 12 years.

The pano roof is a great option. The S package with PASM is a freaking blast to drive.

The 6 cylinder is a dud for anything except corners and cruising steady speed. All others are great.

My wife and I love the Cayenne. Had a 955 S, and now she drives a 958 Turbo. Just make sure the transfer case is in good working order. Check to see if it has ever been replaced. Porsche has a 10 year warranty on the TC.

Our 2013, base, we bought CPO over 5 years ago has been rock solid. Now has 110k miles.

Best car we have ever owned. Period.

Had a Cayenne S. Fun to drive, ate rear tires.

Lots of nagging things going out Mostly suspension bushings.

Its basically alll 996 and VW components enlarged 2x.

What about the turbo diesel? SmileWavy

I'm looking at a '10 GTS on Saturday. If it's as good as it has been represented, and seller has been great in communication, hoping a dealership PPI says it's a good truck.

/\sweet!

I have a 2010 GTS for the last couple of years. The only negative is the gas mileage.

Good to know. Gas I'm not so worried about, it will be a company truck. How reliable has it been? Any concerns about bore scoring, coolant pipes and the driveshaft bearing? Those seem to be the big three concerns with 955/957s.

pffft... that's no Tundra Shaun.

What happened to the Tundra?

Is it because I recommended the Cayenne?

They are great! Been around since 2004 so they got most of the issues fixed. My wife has a 2012S we bought with CPO, as others have said check the low speed steering and if it feels at all clunky in the front take it to Porsche and say it “judders” in the steering/turning. That’s what I did and got the transfer case replaced at no cost (I think it’s a known issue with these years).

Overall great SUV’s that are fun to drive.
