  1. Thanks, folks. Hope you don't mind the cross-posting. I was trying to get a bigger audience. :)
  2. 81k miles, private party, seems well-taken care of. Garaged, non-smoker, all recommended maintenance with dealer, no accidents. I too was hoping for air suspension. In this year, turbos are hard to get (cheap). No turbocharged V6 S trim like there is now. Still seems like a fair price though. Thanks for the thoughts!
  3. Hey folks, brand new user here and new to the world of Porsche. We're currently driving a 2010 Toyota RAV-4. We've been considering waiting a couple years and buying a 2017-2018 Cayenne used. We like how 2017 introduces Apple Carplay, and are hoping to see driver assistance and cabin tech improvements in the 2018 refresh. That's until this came along (25k asking): http://files.curby.net/build sheet.pdf With that, we're considering trading up now and waiting 5 years to let the third gen stabilize. Our concerns are possible maintenance hassles as the car approaches 90k miles, and the base powertrain. Regarding maintenance, we're looking at the maintenance threads here on the forums, but it's like information overload. Are there particular things that early 2nd gen Cayennes often fall victim to? Anything to check out while test driving, or to ask about the history of? Build sheet linked above in case anything unusual sticks out. Regarding the engine, our favorite thing about our RAV4 is the capability of the powertrain. V6 AWD, 270hp and 250lb-ft, gets to 60 in 7.2s and gets 24 mpg in mixed driving. With this Cayenne, we'll get a slower, thirstier car that takes more expensive fuel. We're also about 7000ft up in the mountains, and hear that forced induction is especially useful in thinner air. We'll definitely test drive this 2011, but we won't have time to drive competing engine choices before we make up our mind. How much do the bigger engines help in getting the Cayenne going? Any other thoughts or suggestions? Is 25k fair? It needs some work including a new windshield and tires, but is clean overall. Thanks in advance! P.S. Anyone have a pdf of the user's manual and PCM manual that they can send me? I found this link but it seems broken: https://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php/files/file/1648-2011-cayenne-owners-manual/
