I bought it (06 TTS) with about 174k on it. The coolant pipes had been done, when I got it, did brakes/rotors all the way around, and a lot of little things, wiper reservoir, brake hoses, etc. Pano roof stripped a gear and cost me $2500 for 2 new motors and diagnosis to finally just sit unfixed. I just had the upper and lower front control arms done (that's why suspension warning light is on, a sensor got tweaked, but it functions fine on original air struts). I have a weird shudder when braking, and still can't figure out if its my rotor or not. Otherwise, aside from the occasional P0421 engine emission fault the truck runs awesome and pulls hard. It's my daily driver and I drive as much as I can. I'm due for new tires, picked up a set of 20" Rinspeed/look rims. As Im driving now it's all stock and pretty much everything works. I love it to death and will go for 300k!

Are those rims rated for the weight of your TTS? People have cracked replica rims on Cayennes. That could be pretty exciting if not noticed and a rim failed whilst driving at nominal speed.. There is a lot of crappola stuff out there.

I bought them from owner that had them on a Cayenne already, look fine, had them inspected at shop. I currently run the OEM 19's but wanted 20's to get better and cheaper tire choices. Sometimes I wish I had a regular turbo so I could put 18's on it with off-road tires, once you get to 19/20 there isn't much choice, looking at some Coopers that are mud and snow rated. I want a more rugged tire, not so much high performance. On another note, my local Porsche shop is building a Cayenne Turbo S 6x6, I have pics somewhere, they built a really cool off-road Cayenne and are now trying an extended Turbo S with another axle added on, crazy!
