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. |

So like anything some cars have problems and others may not. I am not a fan of German auto electronics which seems to perform like vintage Lucas stuff. But that said My son Ollie is a huge fan of the Cayenne and the wife says its the only SUV she likes the looks of. Used turbos could set me back 60 grand and an S around 40, and the V6's can be picked up at auctions for around 25. All are considered a lot of money compared to the teener, and a new Cayman could be had for the price of a used Cayenne.
I drive an old Jeep Cherokee and am plenty happy with it, but this is more for my son than anything. Ollie is going to be 21 this week he will never legally be able to drive a car and cars are everything to him, the Cayenne is tops. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, his responce was Smoke a Cigar, Drink Beer, Porsche Cayenne in that order. How do you say no to that. |
