I am considering a used Cayenne, I have done a few searches, but the forums I've read dont involve much do it yourself information.
I have come across piston ring breakage and water pump failures in some engines but haven't seen any high mileage cars out there to see how they hold up. My wife had a hard time keeping her Lexus on the road this winter, and my autistic son's favorite car is the Cayenne. I would like to get one and get a personalized plate with his name on it, if I can find the right car for the right price and there not considered piles of crap. I would use it to tow the 914 around to events and she can drive it the rest of the time. Any input and advise would be appreciated. |

I am pretty capable when it comes to repairing and maintaining cars. If the engines turned out to be crap an LS6 conversion maybe in order. The cars have been around for awhile now so there should be a good track record of what to buy and what not to buy. I think the Cayenne S with the V8 is suppose to be the better of the vehicles.
Good point, the wife likes comfortable seats, she has complained about the Lexus seats ever since we sold the town car. |
