buying a cayenne

Cayenne S or GTS is all you will ever need.
They all eat tyres and pads/disks so check condition. I can squeeze 21/23mpg out of my S
20, 21 or 22" alloys are a PITA and wreck the ride/comfort....I went back to the 19" alloys. Air suspension os an option and worth considering on the right car.
Water pumps on the 4.5 and above usually go at about 35k miles.
The early cars had driverside airbag wiring looms issues. Most have been rectified but check for work done.
Handles like no 4X4 has any right to
Well built and a tough interior :thumb:

avoid Gen 1 3.2 models, so under powered that mpg is awful
they do drive like no other and very car like and as per wizard993, avoid anything on 20" rims
Facelift models from 2007 are an improvement, but 4.5 S models are a bargain but are getting on and any kind of warranty is a must
VFM on larger engined models offset extra petrol costs and most models have all the main options, of course all subject to budget!
for air suspension, there are ride height settings on the lower central consol
on my must do's is driving a Cayenne Turbo for a lap of the Nurburgring

ditto - stay clear of the 3.2's. The valve train is poor and it's underpowered.
I recently converted my 4.5s to LPG with flashlub. 1,500 miles on and I am saving a packet.
Go for ones with <60k miles. S/history is a must. The 4.5's is a genuine bargain.
