Some more thoughts on the subject.
I know unclebilly has had an overall good experience with his 955s, and their look has really grown on me, but I would probably only look for 08-10 957s. You've got a few years of working kinks out like the cooling tubes if nothing else.
Known issues: there are a ton of known issues with these trucks, John mentions another. Rant on, WTF is it with automotive engineers who are pure crap at their jobs? Sunroof drains that will drain into the cabin when plugged? I would fire the guy that created that disaster especially knowing it dates back to 80s and 90s W124s. I know bean counters are a big reason why stuff is lower quality than it should be but there's no excuse for moronic engineering. R/off
Anyone getting one of these should do their homework and ask questions and check known faults like plugged drains as soon as they get one. Wheel wells come off in minutes.
Fred, you can get a real PIWIS 2 system. The hardware is real Porsche, software is real Porsche but it's been hacked so anyone can use it. You do have to jump through some hoops to get it to work if you get the system and download the PIWIS software. they ship out of China of course. I recommend getting the system and laptop package for $1K so you don't have to jump through hoops.
While my truck was in the body shop getting a new front bumper my insurance gave me a 2022/3 Grand Cherokee.
Perfect truck if you have an active outdoorsy family of 5+ but God what a pig. I hated driving that thing for week. I would much rather have my 13 year old truck than a brand new GC. I suspect most UVs (none of them are sport IMHO) are the same. The Cayenne really is a unique vehicle in the auto world, especially the GTS and Turbo.
