2004 V8 Cayenne

I'm looking at a very cheap '04 V8 Cayenne. No rust, 120,000 miles, nice interior.

Two issues: it does not idle, all signs, fault codes, and rough diagnosis point to a failed fuel primary pump. Also, the oil pan plug is 'stuck'. Probably stripped the plug hex drive, worst case it's an 'oil pan off' full day job.

I think there's a coolant issue with these, I do not know if that repair has been done.

I need a long distance winter car, I drive from Michigan to Toronto and back every other week. I was thinking Range Rover, but the experts here talked me out of that (very quickly).


It isn't free, but it's dirt cheap. Worth a shot, or I'm asking for trouble?
