The bugs and the CD based navigation are more than enough reason to go with an 05 over an 04. There are tons of good deals out there on used Turbos, good luck with your search Jason, the Cayenne Turbo is one awesome vehicle.

 

I still sorta want one...I just wish the lags and bugs were out...it got pretty great gas mileage though...I got at least 8 miles per gallon if I took it easy...

 

i have the '05

you should look into the new Cayenne ......w/ "reduced hestion"

 

They have a new throttle adaptation and dme program.. guy from rennlist said he got it done.. I drove the CTT with the power kit and the TurboS, the transmission behavior is totally different, I like

 

so which one did you get? i meant like?

 

What lag are you talking about.?

 

Ouch, that's a lot of problems. I only had 1 or 2 problems with my 2004 and havent had any with my 2006. I quoted your reply in my previous post, but I really meant to just reply to the thread creator and offer advice on getting an 05 over an 04.

For those talking about the Lag/Hesitation, I experienced that a lot more with the 2004. Every once in a while it was like the car got confused and took an extra little bit to get going. This mainly happened to me when trying to accelerate when coming out of a turn. I believe it was the PSM since it never happened to me when PSM was turned off. My 2006 is much better and I cant remember ever having this issue.

 

Can anyone comment if the pricing I am looking at paying is good?

$61,500 CPO'd for a 2005 CTT with 45k miles.

And can anyone offer any other places to look to buy besides porsche.com and cars.com?

 

price looks good.
what color and options etc.

 

Black on Black, 20" factory wheels, factory installed radar and I think all other standard options. The car does NOT have enter and drive and does NOT have a panoramic sunroof. One owner, one dealership and CPO'd tomorrow.

I wish I could install the enter and drive system afterward, if I could do that I think I would buy this car tomorrow..

 

yeah yeah yeah...been there...done that..several times..

was at Porsche dealer recently and while there went to service 'for old times sake'...spoke to service manager who told me the reason my CS lagged and hesitated was due to my 'two footed' driving style..

It was like old times!

What lag problem are we talking about anyway? "Rare'..haha...

 

I should be picking up the 05 black on black turbo tomorrow!

Now I need to figure out which lowering module goes the lowest:

Techart?
Rinspeed?
Gemballa?
H&R?
Cargraphic?
