Hello Everyone

I am new to the forum and everyones input has been very valuable to making my decision. Well I am finally taking a leap and thinking about purchasing a 2004 Cayenne Turbo. I would like for everyones advise to what I should be looking into for this particular year and model. Below is the following options:
Mileage: 76,495
Exterior Color: Black
Interior Color: Black
Transmission: Automatic

Thank you in advance

 

make sure it's CPO so you're covered for the next 2 yrs.

 

I will definately look into that Neil, but do you think 76,000 miles is too high for this Cayenne?

Thanks

 

76K miles is fine. Make sure you take care of the known issues:

1. coolant pipes
2. tailgate struts
3. driveshaft

Mines has 77K miles with all those issues taken care of and she's running great. CPO or extended warranty will give you the peace of mind for the next couple of yrs.

 

Thanks for all your help Neil...

 

my advice is to take the vin number to the service mngr at your local porsche dealership and see what info he has. he can tell you if the software issues have been taken care of and any of the big issues under warranty. you have been reading the threads, so you know all about the coolant pipe/coils and plugs/drive shaft issues. when all the problems that porsche gave us are taken care of, they really are a unique suv. the other good part is that somebody else ate the depreciation when buying used. be prepared to spend some money to make it right, take your time finding the right one, there are tons of them for sale. when you buy one and need parts, check with jeff clark internet sales at sunset porsche, he is great to deal with. good luck, mike

Thanks for the helpful advice!

 

It is six years from the date first titled. So this 2004 may have been titled mid-2003. In that case, the extra 2 years of CPO warranty runs out mid-2010.
