Apparently firewall and sunroof drains are finicky and his was likely stored outside much of its previous life. Apparently a pretty well documented issue on Cayenne forums. He's had water coming in and settling in both the front floors and storage cubby in the rear.
The GTS is on air suspension. Tell him to have the alignment set at the level mostly driven. -from low to high the toe changes drastically.

Shifting problem is likely a sticky valve-body solenoid. Those (Japanese) gearboxes usually shift very smoothly.
