Decided to buy a used Cayenne

Yah… I know.

I’m going to sell my 2018 WRX as I think I can get what I paid for it new and replace it with an inexpensive used Cayenne.

My budget is $10k. I would consider a V6, S, or Turbo. I’m considering all years but am going to go look at an 08 Turbo tonight. I saw an 06 S last night that was rough but cheap. It had high miles but was mechanically very good.

I would like to dump the wife’s Tribeca and replace it with a Cayenne as well (possibly the V6).

Thoughts? I’ve done a ton of research and know about the Nikasil issue in some of the early S model engines, the coolant pipes, and the driveline issues.

This will be an appliance for me. We pile on the miles and I want something reliable (a Cayenne can be once the issues are sorted).

Thoughts?
