Porsche Cayenne Questions

Hi all, I’m seriously considering purchasing an 07-08 Porsche Cayenne, but have no experience with a vehicle of this age. Could anyone advise me of any pitfalls of buying a car if this caliber and age please?

Hi i have a 2008 Turbo with 70,000kms and is a dream to drive. I had a 911sc for 9 yrs & its harder to get & out of a lower car that's why i bought the Cayenne. What ever you buy get a pre-purchase inspection report from a Porsche specialist. look for lower kms with service history. If you want a diesel buy a VW Tourag, i wanted pure porsche so the 4.8l engine the one to go for with the GTS and S models are great but for a bit extra the Turbo with just leave you with a smile on your face thats hard to wipe off. Try to avoid the earlier 4.5lt models with cooling issues. Good luck.

Hi Mork, I’ll take all that onboard. Wasn’t really after a diesel either Got my eye on 2007 S 9PA within my price range. 127,000 kms. Don’t suppose you have any advise on these models?? Thanks Mork, much appreciated. Regards, Tony

Plastic coolant pipes 03-06 V8. In Australia, under 100k (miles) I’ve experienced catastrophic failure. I’ve sourced and purchased a replacement engine (complete). Is there any dealer goodwill or actual claim process for this. Any information greatly appreciated

Hi Nick do you have the 4.5L or the 4.8L the 4.5 did have some issues but like all cars without knowing the history we are at the mercy of it's past ( servicing etc ). What State are you in ( location not mind ) & i will ask my guy here in Adelaide if he knows someone close to you who could help with the work. Cheers and sorry you are having this problem.
