how much off MSRP do you think a 2004 or 2005 Cayenne Turbo can be had for?

and for those of you that have them, do you like it?

 

Check a few pages back in the Cayenne Forum.. I think Silver Star Porsche in LI was selling '04 Cayennes at dealer invoice, but I dont know if they still have them.

 

I was at the dealer yesterday, they had one in the showroom marked from 98k to 93k. I don't know what year it was.

 

04 leftovers... mid to upper 80s all day long.

 

Is it possible to get them for 8-10K off MSRP?

 

An 04... yes

 

Call this guy.. looks like he will give you around 8-10 off...

Mehrabani, thats a nice looking turbo

 

Whatever the price, it's too much. This truck is by far the buggiest POS I've ever bought new. Here are just a few of the many things:

1 qt oil every 1k miles (so far almost 6k). btw, tires are showing significant wear already (wife drives it 95%+ of the time and like a grandma)

steering wheel likes to shake on the highway

almost zero air comes out of the rear air vents (yes they are open fully)

car counted down to 2k miles for the 20k service since new and now tells us everytime we turn it on that it needs to be serviced. dealer says bring it in (and pick up a honda or camry - already did this once when the wife was pregnant and will not allow my newborn to ride in such an unsafe car - it's why i spent so much on a porsche suv) to have the light reset since it doesn't need service.

acceleration hesitation is HORRIFIC to the point of being life threatening when expecting the 460 lbs of torque we paid an extra $50k for to be there when turning across or pulling out into traffic. porsche has no fix save for resetting the computer to temporarily stop it until it relearns to do it again

the back glass opens damn near everytime we unlock the car and won't shut without reopening seconds later until the severalth time.

the remote for one key has pretty much not worked since new (works MAYBE 5% of the time). second key is now acting just like the first. yes we have done the 15 sec in the first position to reteach it. yes we have switched keys so the one most often driving it is using the schittiest one.

in the fade dept, the brakes are absolutely not porsche grade.

the memory seats on the driver seat forget all settings (the buttons 1 thru 3) - often.

there are more, but there is no doubt in my mind why porsche's customer satisfaction took a header with the roll out of this POS.

 

ben, do you have a 2003 or 2004?

 

2004 bought new five months ago

btw, i can't say our cayenne experience hasn't greatly tainted our expectations of the cgt that was ordered.

 

ben,
looks like u really hate porsche now. CGT related?!

28k miles with Cayenne S i'm happy with it. yes, the car is not perfect but hell nothing is perfect! at least it's the best handling SUV i've ever driven. that does it for me. still looking forward to become a Turbo owner anytime soon...

Is it possible to get them for 8-10K off MSRP?
for 05 highly optioned car YES, at least that's what i got. hopefully u have a close dealer/sales guy can make the deal for u.

 

It's a combo CGT/C TT situation. I've seen enough posts about similar C problems to know ours is not an isolated sitiuation. After coming from two bullet proof ultra reliable 911s (had current one since new 4 years ago), the C TT is a GRAVE disappointment. After driving the CGT and realizing it probably won't even make it into my garage without bottoming out and then will almost certainly not make it onto the lift I spent money, time, and effort engineering into my new house (Porsche dealers have to buy $10s of thousands in extra stuff to allow it to be raised), I'm not real happy. Of course the clutch situation doesn't strike me as an engineering triumph as it was advertised. Sure it's little and light, but the trade offs for that cause the car to fail the advertised "everyday supercar" claim.

 

How well is the Cayenne selling? I always thought it was somewhat of a risky venture for Porsche, but I see quite a few of them around town. I'm not a fan of the styling, but I can't deny its phenomenal performance (by SUV standards).

 

it's been selling quite well & making big $ for porsche.
