Summary:
coolant pipes need to be changed
Gets terrible mileage.
Brakes are expensive. ....
Plan on changing the drive shaft. ....
Have seen 4 or 5 develope bad piston slap. ...
Coolant pipes, pay someone to do it. ...like us. ...
Tend to eat batteries every couple years. ...
Fuel milage sucks....
Fuel pumps go bad, or the console for the fuel tank will leak...
Rear hatch shocks
Headlamp mount brackets crack, causing the plug to not plug in properly. .....so expect random light faults. ..
I bought an 04 new and just gave it to charity this year with 190,000 miles on her.
I make living off Cayenne repairs. |
So how is the gas mileage on them? 
So from your post, a professional mechanic dumps one at 190,000 miles and it is worth more as a donation than selling it. Wow. That car evaporated in value in just 12 years.
