I might be insane… Cayenne related

So I traded the dirt bike for that 04 Cayenne S early this summer and despite needing to fix more than I bargained for, it’s a really sweet vehicle to drive. My wife and I really like it.

Then a few weeks ago, I bought myself a 06 Cayenne Turbo that’s an 8/10 and needed a few things. It had 2 previous owners and unfortunately the guy I got it from was in over his head. I have almost everything addressed on it now and it drives awesome. I’ve already put 3000 kms (2000 miles on it). On the highway, it gets great mileage and is a real treat to drive.

I’ve been looking for a better example of a Cayenne for my wife and have looked at a bunch of them, including a nice low mile 09 Turbo S with the panoramic sunroof last night but sadly it had the engine tick.

Today, my son texted me from school a recently listed 06 Turbo S with low mileage… we didn’t mention it to my wife and went and looked at it tonight. The 2 previous owners didn’t appear to have kids in it. It’s nearly perfect. Full service records, and I bought it. It has been meticulously maintained and doesn’t have the engine tick (the mileage is low enough it could still develop so fingers crossed). The only issue is that the PCM unit is non op.

So now I have 3. The 04 Cayenne S will be going up for sale here shortly. It has a good engine, drives really nice, and had that gorgeous tan interior with the burl accents… and the AC blows cold!

I told my son to quit looking at Cayennes for sale. Oh, and my wife gets the Silver Turbo. I’m taking the Black Turbo S.
