I'd still potentially own one used but it would be the absolute best example I could find.
A lot of my thinking on this too. ^ OTOH, Seems Shaun likes a challenge. (928)

fuel/brakes/tires bills... Brakes last a very long time. Same for tires. Tire wear, lack thereof, really surprised me. Then again the tires are very large diameter, compared to a 911. (lots of tread with fewer rotations per mile. Gas is the biggest expense. you can get well over 20mpg if you drive 55, but realistically 15-17 in mixed mode.

The Cayennes are comfortable and capable cars. The trim options vary greatly. Which puts us back to speeder's point; they are all cheap, so find the best example. Of course one that has 285k... I expect it was taken care of. I've seen plenty abused versions with <100k
