Spicy Unicorn

Considering buying this and selling the one I just got. Mostly depends on repair history and how far over $20K it will go.

2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS 6-Speed

If you win it, I'll drive it up from Va...

I really like that color... similar to my Aqua Blue Metallic 997.

Springfield is a suburb of DC. DC miles are hard miles. Does it say where it grew up?

Texas originally but VA and MD for more than half. Haven't read the whole ad but skimming just now, it has the panoramic roof which isn't working. That alone may make it a pass. They leak and don't work I've read. Will dive into it tonight. But it's all in the repair history really.

A 6 speed cayenne recently went over 30k on cars and bids. I’d expect this to do the same.

No, high 20s would be the most I'd want to spend.

The roof sort of seals it (or doesn't, bad pun intended) that it's not for me. But I am very curious about the service history of the truck.

In what way Dan? Too heavy for manual shifting?

beautiful vehicle. I assume lots of fun (for an SUV). The 6 spd would be nice for it's fun quotient, but honestly, for me, for a cruiser SUV, a modern auto would be better. I'm also unlikely to buy a 150k+ mile vehicle unless it's a toy.

On a big SUV, I suspect that's really rare.

Hell, on modern 911s and coxsters manuals aren't as common as you'd expect/think/hope.

In the comments section, someone said that a Rennlister said 33 were made in 09

Well, in all fairness, at least he didn't call it a Blitzkrieg.

Yep, that's a unicorn.

Again, I'd probably go for an auto, but I wonder if they ever put the manual in the turbo.
