Going to look at a really clean 06’ Cayenne S. 150k on the clock, gas burner, last 10 years of records. New brakes and motor mounts, coolant pipes have been replaced. $7500
What is your experience with a first generation Cayenne? |

I have a 2004 turbo that I purchased a couple years ago for a camping / winter driving car. I have put 25K on it (now at 127K) and it has been very reliable. One of the things I like is that they share parts with Audi and VW so shared parts are inexpensive. Because of the high cost in general to have Porsche repaired and the fact that the cost is now low many get parted. You can find many parts cheap (complete engines can be found for $1500). I was able to get parts for mine to add options it did not have originally for very little money. I have added Automatic head lights and Homelink garage door opener. I have even had some of these show up locally at the pick and pulls so have spares for some common problem parts. If you can do your own work they are a lot of car for the money.
