2008 gts ownership questions

plan on buying a 50k dollar gts with 27k miles. Priced at trade in value now.

what do you guys think this car will be worth in 3 years, good condition with 68k miles on it?

4 years, ect.?

I know this is an ambiguous question but trying to figure out what the cost of ownership would be and seeing if it is already past the initial depreciation curve.

It is past the initial drop.
Reasonable price. Should hold with minor depreciation.
Go get er.
Just make sure it has the options that are important to you. Because if it's base that
Might be a bit high in price.
Mine loaded with 29,000 msrp original was 100,000, just sold
For about 60,000.

Cayenne values drop like a rock, especially now it is an old body style. If you put 40K miles on it the next three years, I think you'd be fortunate to sell it for 50-60% of what you paid for....or $25,000 to 30,000 and my guess is the former rather than the latter.

Since you want to keep it for 3 years, look at what a 2005 Cayenne Turbo would sell for these days should give you an indication.

My 2008 GTS has 64K without any issues other than wear and tear. I personally like the older body style (with big grill).

Its sort of a unique car, when shopping around the Bay Area so my wife could test drive a 2011 Cayenne S, many of the dealers commented on how they still get calls on if anyone has traded one in.

yes i agree, I just figure if its going to depreciate another 30k over the next 3 years it almost makes sense just leasing or buying a e92 m3.

I think im going to try to pull the trigger on this. 82k sticker. 27k miles, one owner 50k even. Guy said he got offered a tad less on trade in and seems to be an honest person.

Another option is from a dealer, 43,900 with 54k miles. that gts red color however NO options, not even nav or sunroof.

The car is so nice.. of course the price will drop 30-40% in three years from now but believe me ,the GTS deserve it
" I bought my GTS for over 100K and now I am selling it to buy 2011 turbo.. Look how much the gts sell for NOW!!"
