Hey, my 05 s model has 176,000. The previous owner paid to have all those typical repairs done, there was 10,000$ in receipts in the records. However, I do have mechanical ability and the only think I could see wrong when I bought it for 9000, was a leaking valve cover gasket. Did tie rods to get through inspection. And I love this car, I only planned to own it for a short time, and possibly resell. espescialy after reading all these horror stories online. I believe I'm changing my mind though. With that many miles you would think it going to go any day now, but I assure you it still drives, shifts, and turnes heads like the sexy beast that she is. I do baby it and hardly ever stomp on the pedal. I'm a firm believer that mechanical wear and tear on a vehicle has a lot to do with how you drive. My neighbor has. Ford tempo that's still getting it. Even on the net I only see a handful of pepper wagons with this many miles. I thought maybe it was good that I got it at this point. All the major **** that goes wrong has already happen and been replaced. So we will see how long I can go just replacing > $200 parts. I can handle that.

Hello. My 05 cayenne s has 176,000 and I was wondering the same thing. I am a firm believer that with good maintenance we can break 200,000. Mine runs like a tol and has had those major repairs done. Coolant pipes, motor mounts, drive shaft, and I just had the valve covers done. The dealer wanted 1900. The euro shop got the job done for 700. The left side was dripping on the exhaust. There was a smell an a bit of smoke but nothing ever made it to the bottom of the vehicle. I'm thinking about the trans valve body next. From what I hear this will smooth out the downshifts. ( just a little noticeable when stopping) I love the cayenne and it's going to be hard to sell. good luck.
