Default Finally pulled the trigger, my new Cayenne S

After a couple months of debating on a new daily driver I finally ended up sourcing the right Cayenne. I cross shopped a lot of cars but I always liked the Cayenne's so I'm happy I didn't settle. I wanted an S, with air suspension and not a tan interior and CPO which actually was harder to find than I thought. It seems there aren't alot of pre owned Cayenne's on the market as people don't tend to sell them. I found this one three hours down state. Texas car it's whole life. Bunch of Porsche Select options... wonder if the member is on here. It seems like it's a one of a kind car. I'm so happy I found one with the sport exhaust, it sounds awesome.

Thanks to everyone here who answered a billion of my questions.

Wow, what a build! Before placing my order for my 2014 CS, I played with a lot of configurations, but lost my nerve and kept things in the mid 80's. But I did go with a couple of things you have, to wit, the Classic Silver, which I think is the best Cayenne color, and the PSE, which gives you the proper V8 sound. Well done, Mike.

The two-tone seats are spectacular. Wanna swap for black?

Looks great! I still giggle like a 12 year old boy who just heard a good fart joke every time I push the sport exhaust button and give it some gas.

Gorgeous. I drove 280 miles from MA to NJ and back to get mine yesterday.

I really like those wheels and usually I like less and not more, spokes. I especially like black around all the windows. I need to get that done to mine as I'm not a fan of the chrome. The roof rails are also blacked out=nice!

The seats are also very nice. I'm partial to light colored interiors as black is too dark, even with a pano-roof.

Really happy I sourced one with this exhaust, I can't get over how good it sounds.

If the interior wasn't gray I would swap, but it would look off I think. The seats are so comfortable!

Our vehicles look much the same outside - same gloss black trim package.. but one thing yours has that I may have to change on mine: The painted wheel-arch extensions. Mine are black and make the wheel well look larger and more gap to the tire. I like the body color look of yours.

^ Don, definitely do it. I was wondering why the wheels were almost $5000 then saw it doesn't come with the painted extensions.

Well done 1FlossedM3!

I remember seeing that one and was quite impressed by the look and options.

I'm still looking.... I know it's out there somewhere.

Just trying to convince the wife that a lot of the fun is the chase for the "right vehicle."

Enjoy!

Here's mine with same wheels and in the same color so you can see what it would look like
