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. |

My Jeep will serve as a beater for hunting and my trips around town, the Cayenne would be my wifes bad weather car up here in Minnesota, her Lexus is fine for her daily driver. I would use the car for towing the 914 to events, and the wifes winter driving to and from work and shopping.
She wants to drive one and I think the uncomfortable seats i read about may be the main reason this wont be the car for her. Can aftermarket coil pack systems be used instead of the factory ones say a MSD? |
