Let's be clear, I really want an 08+, but I also like the idea of something that has so many miles, everything has been repaired and repaired to last. My 2007 328i is an excellent example. I got it at 167K miles. It now has 246K miles. in that time I have:
Put a $.05 wave washer as a spacer in the ABS sensor since the reluctor rings expand with rust and car goes into limp mode. That was over 3 years ago. I did get new reluctor rings from Taiwan (have to get a new axle here) but it keeps working so...
New coil packs. One was bad. Did them all.
Battery is now 6 years old so I have to get a new one soon. Just because I don't want to get stuck.
Seriously, that's everything. because the PO had everything done.
Car looks and drives like an 80K mile car. Love it. Seriously, it's gorgeous with the whole front of the car repainted by the PO.
Can I replicate that with an old old Cayenne? Probably not. But a one owner Cayenne is probably a good car in the end. I would have a dealership PPI done if I want it. But again, an 80K mile 08+ is better truck to get.
I am wondering if I will miss the pick-up bed. I don't mind taking all the back seats out and putting them in storage.
