I'd prefer the black one more.
Looks ways more aggressive and " angry " than the white one...just have it dark...my suggestion for you.
These datas should be pretty good indeed
Let us know your choice

Ok, black it is...

Went to the dealer today and now face a new decision (I promise to buy one soon):

2004 Turbo 4000 miles
or
2006 S, brand new

Same asking price (almost) 72k vs. 70k

I'm leaning towards the Turbo since it has already has taken the depreciation hit and has only 4k miles.

Your thoughts?

I'd go used TT with 4k miles its practically new.
I didn't like the aluminum trim prior to ordering mine, but once
the Techarts were on it all blended in.

For the price go with the turbo. It is like new, plus you have the CPO warranty for peace of mind.

Closest I could find right quick. But the larger could work and I know Gemballa makes a whole exhaust in black, including tips.

Hope this is a start...
Here is a pic of the gemballa black exhaust tips

Thanks to everyone for their advice! I finally took the plunge. I purchased a 2004 Turbo, white in color. I just did not have the energy to keep a black SUV clean, especially a daily driver. However, I will agree that black is the sportiest color for any vehicle.

Though the vehicle I purchased was not CPO, it had only 9000 miles. I tend not to keep cars for more than 2 years, so I am not overly concernced with the warranty.

I will post pictures once I have it cleaned up. I can say that I am very happy with the vehicle. It came with Champion RS97 wheels, the vehicle looks great!

Congratulations!

Black, black and even black!
Maybe your other option is...black?
That's just me...the exterior trim could be coloured...

The black had only 4000 and was CPO, I just could not make myself go with the black.

The white had 9000. Evan, yes I did get the one from Ft. Lauderdale - I couldn't be happier. Thanks for working up a quote for me on the upgrades, maybe I will start the mods in a few months - I wanted to first get a feel for it.

The vehicle has Havanna Sand Beige interior. The most notable options are Sunroof and Sport pipes.

I will be sure to snap some pictures of the vehicle this weekend.

After a week of driving I have the following observations -

1. In my area, a rural town of 25k, no one has a clue just what I am driving. People keep asking me what make and model of vehicle it is, claiming to never have seen one.

2. For whatever reason, after a 40 mile I-65 jaunt this morning, the front wheels have accumulated a significant amount of brake dust. Is this normal or possibly build up from sitting for a while on a dealer lot?

3. As expected, my fuel economy is dismal at best.

4. The vehicle has a ton of power and is fun to drive, especially fast (this may have an adverse affect #3).

5. Why would they build a 100k without homelink as a standard option? I never even considered this a possiblity.

6. Who chose the placement of the extra passenger side cig adapter ports? And what exactly where they thinking and/or smoking?

1. I have gotten those comments a few times also, and being near to Boston and lots of other Cayennes, i was surprised that people were surprised it was Porsche.

2. Probably from sitting on dealers lot for such a long time, cuz i dont really get that much brake dust in such short time spans. But i guess on how much you brake.

3. I have a V6 and my gas mileage makes me want to cry..

Enjoy ur car!
