Trader,

I want a Cayenne Transsyberia(sorry for spelling)!!!! Since getting my 09 C2S cab PDK, the Lexus GX 470 is leaving me unfulfilled! I drive it 3-4 days per week and the car the rest. I want to drive a Porsche everyday!
TIA,
Jen

new model? when? Are you getting one? One of my colleagues just got a white GTS! I had a white 04S and loved it and miss it.

Yep. The redesign is reportedly coming soon as a 2011 model. Maybe next spring? Not sure on the timing, but it will be smaller, sportier, and definitely have the PDK. Interior similar to new Panamera. I would wait if I were you.

Makes sense. Probably wanted to distance it a little further from the Turbo launch.

No PDK for new Cayenne as per grassroots meeting. The tranny can't support hauling at this time.

wow...no PDK for the Cayenne? So, is that also why the new turbo can't really be modded with the PDK???

mstams...you and I think alike! so, I guess I'll wait a year or so for the 'new' Cayenne, but that transsyberia looks awseome!

Yes. I think we do. That's why I know you'd shoot yourself once the new one comes out. Resist the urge...

Trader220 where are located?? I am in NC and am pondering a purchase now or waiting till the end of the year. When does everyone feel I will get the best deal. Would prefer a c2 with manual and a few toys or a c2s maybe. Will not consider a PDK w/o sport chrono.

Am I crazy to use a 911 for a DD when I put 30K on per year??? Or should I wait for a nice CPO with low miles and have 4 or so years or warranty left. Or consider a Cayman S PDK???

Yea you could wait and maybe save a grand or two but then you’re going to be looking all over for a car with decent colors or options and probably not find what you want.

Buyers its time to hit your local dealer hard.
Probably mostly owners here and not so many buyers - and a poor reflection of the population at large. That and the deals have been pretty good all summer so much of the low hanging fruit (like me) has been picked.

And the economy, job market, etc, while looking a little less dire is only that - a little less dire - hardly positive. Expect the general malaise to continue - that's my take.

I wish I could get another one at todays' prices, or upgrade, but that would be crazy - hat's off to those who have waited it out - if you can find a car you like, great deals.
