Hi fellow 6-speeders. I am looking for someone with a discerning eye that is close to Jim Ellis Porsche to check out a used Cayenne S for me. I have been in negotiations with them the past week and we have come to an agreed contract price to buy the car and have it shipped to me in the Seattle area. My agreement was based on a thorough cosmetic inspection by the salesman. He emailed me some photos this morning that showed that both bumper covers need to be refinished. He has assured me that the car has no other flaws but I am very dubious. Just from the bumper covers, it looks like it may have been a soccer mom car.

The Cayenne S is a 2012 CPO with 7K miles - it should look brand new. It is silver with black interior. The dealership stock number is P22067.

Any of you guys or gals that would do me the favor of looking it over, it would be highly appreciated. I just don't want to buy a car across the country and find it needs a couple panels refinished or the interior has scratches or scuffs.

Did you find anyone to check this out for you? I will be at Ellis tomorrow

 

Hi. No, I have not had any volunteers yet. If you would check it out for me, I would appreciate it. Please call me at your convenience to discuss.

Thanks,
Jim F

 

Just left your town (SEA) this morning on my way back to ATL now. I will call you later when I arrive in ATL

 

This may have been a Porsche North America Corp car, PNA is located in ATL and both ATL P-Car dealers get a lot of them, age and mileage is about right to be a PNA car.

 

Just thinking, this could also be a Delta Airlines Shuttle car, PNA loans several of these to DL at the ATL airport for on field VIP shuttles. This could explain bumpers. If so it was most likely never driven much over 50mph at the airport. You might want to asked Ellis to provide you with a driving history download from the car's onboard computer
