Bought at auction Cayenne Turbo S.., have questions??

I just purchased a '04 Cayenne Turbo S. I'm confused though.., did they offer the "S" in '04??

My buddy who owns a dealership here, purchased it from a dealer auction in Nevada about an hour ago for me. I checked the car out through the VIN at the local dealership over there, and everything checked out perfectly. Major service was done at 20K and 38K.. along w/ new brake pads, rotors and sensors. The recalls have also been taken care of.

But I'm still confused.., was their a "S" option in that year of '04? The pictures show Cayenne Turbo S, and so does the printout I recieved.., but I'm still not believing it. I hope so, I'd be psyched.. but my research is telling me otherwise. Thank you!!!!

No Turbo S in 04.

2006 was the only model year that it was produced.

CTTS was only made for MY06 so yours isnt a turbo S.

Wow... I feel like an idiot. So what do you guys think? Its an '04, no problems everything checked out perfect, all recalls done. Bought it for $46K w/ 43,000 miles, Silver/Black interior, nav, etc.
I thought I was getting a steal on a Turbo S version..., but obviously thats not the case. I still like the price, especially for our market here in Seattle. But is it really a good deal, or should I somehow find a way of backing out of the purchase. Its obviously the fault of the auction personnel for not getting it right on their paperwork.

I know its far from comparing apples to apples but this is an 04' with 54K for $37,000:

You got a decent deal... But far from the Steal you were imagining I'm afraid.

hahahahah... yeah its definately a turbo. haha.., I'd fly out to Nevada and beat the guy if it wasn't.

For my market here, its actually a real good deal still. Seattle market tends to be different, and since I'm doing a trade in and got a good deal on it... I'm HaPpY!!

But.., these guys should check stuff out before they put a Cayenne Turbo "S" on the purchase report at the auction. And what a deuche bag on the previous owner to throw an S on it.. god I hate that?!?!

I wonder if he's a member here.. its in Nevada..

the 'S' badge isn't even the same color as the Cayenne Turbo badge.

Looks good though. Congrats

damn. that thing looks pretty bare in the options dept. i don't think i've ever even seen a cayenne with leather like that.... looks like 996 leather.

what can you tell by the leather and the options.. not much of a pic showing things??? What am I missing... I still got time to bail cause it got goofy w/ the whole "s" non "s" thing. Overall, I'm still very happy w/ the price and am committed.

it just looks a lot less impressive to me than normal ones and i've never even seen those wheels before. cars at auction scare me. i feel like if they were in worthwhile condition that the owner would have sold them. i know this is completely unfounded and just opinion but thats my skewed logic.

Yeah I feel yah as well, good point. I personally am not the biggest fan of the interior in the first place.. it has always looked a bit bland to me. I am coming out of a Infiniti FX45... and I like that interior a lot. I think thats the way all the interiors look in the Cayenne... aside from different colors etc. I'm just happy its black leather.

Auctions are different though. I hate them as well. But I did enough research on the car to feel very confident at the moment. It was 1 owner lease return.., and I checked it up at the dealership over their via vin number. I"ll just have to wait and see, should be here in a few weeks I'm told.
