I put 183,000 miles on my 04 Cayenne S (V8). It was almost bullet proof. They all had issues with the plastic coolant tubes leaking, but that issue should be long repaired by now. It turned into a class action lawsuit and most people got something back or a free fix. The hotter the area the faster they cracked. Phoenix owners had the issue after just a couple years. Mine failed at 60K miles around year 4.

Carden shafts were also a problem in 100% of the 04s, but I don't think anybody saw 100k before replacement.

As much as I loved my "Beta" (04's), like a previous reply said, it wouldnt be my choice for your application. They get HORRIBLE gas mileage and eat front tires like a blue whale eats shrimp.
