I get the age/value comment, as well as being able to afford something, but not necessarily choosing the most expensive option.

Nothing costs more than depreciation, thus a new vehicle, for me, is out of the question. I chose a SUV due to road conditions down here. Did not need a 7 passenger version. Wanted something that was a tad nicer than Korean/Japanese. Wanted gas power (no hybrid or diesels) only.

Ended up getting a 2013 Cayenne GTS. Really enjoying the truck, but if I had found a Turbo in similar condition as this GTS is, would have perhaps opted for the Turbo instead, but no regrets on the GTS. The 958 Cayenne models (2011 and up) are vastly superior (reliability, MPG and comfort, not rock climbing) over the 957 series (2006-2010) models.

Runner up was a 2014 Land Rover Ranger Rover Autobiography with the V8 supercharged engine. Still want one of those, but at the time, it was, still is, not worth twice the price that what I paid for my GTS. Most will think that I am nuts for suggesting a Land Rover product, but like all brands, some models/engines are better than others....
