This auction, and recent activity on the 996 and other auctions, convinced me to finally request my BaT account be closed.

I'll stick to private party sales with trusted individuals and even dealers over the enthusiast auction sites, all of which add a hefty premium and are now overrun with dealer ads.

This Cayenne was clearly an effortless flip, and I don't think it would have made it to BaT a few years ago.

This could also be simply that no one who serviced that car knew to empty the oil that accumulates in the driver's side intercooler as that often looks like a blown turbo and if it fills up enough, will actually leak out the plumbing that leads to the intercooler - that may be the pipe or "hose" he referred to in his comment.

Im surprised no one else noticed the OBD port nearly ripped out of the dash:


That tells me a few things, someone who is looking into a problem isnt gentle, and probably under qualified. Secondly, if someone who is breaking ****, its because the owner was too cheap to bring it to a real garage to have fixed.

Like others have said, crazy price and the buyer probably has the money to not think or care about anything of these issues. And its not even a manual! Wait do manuals even command a premium here? I always assumed they did.

There are no Turbo or Turbo S manuals in the US (maybe not anywhere). Base, S, and GTS had the manual option. If the turbo S came in a manual that's what would be parked in my garage, and yes, manual GTS models are selling for big money.

Well everyone, the infamous bore-scored BAT 2009 Cayenne Turbo S is again for sale and looking for it's next victim! https://express.audifresno.com/expre...ash&delivery=1 All for the lovely low sum of $47,701!

Apparently the BAT buyer realized he had bought a a turd and off loaded it ASAP. Note that the mileage is essentially identical.

Admins, have you given any consideration to having a sticky with VINs to avoid?

Unbelievable that turd is on the market again. They are an Audi dealership and should know better.

I sent them an email and offered $1500.

It's worth $5,000 for the brakes, wheels, and fender flare kit.

They offer a 7 year Vehicle Service Contract for only $3495.
"Avoid disruptions to your personal budget when an unexpected covered repair occurs."

I wonder if a trashed engine would be considered a covered repair?
Talk them down $10K and buy the service contract. Within a few months you'll have a sweet Turbo S with a brand new engine and no worries for the next 7 years. Yeah right lol!

"Preexisting conditions exempt" in 1 point font hidden behind a period in a sentence.

I'd guess the majority of the dealership sales people and probably many junior techs would have no idea that there was anything wrong with the engine from listening to it.

At the Audi dealership site there is a picture of the dash showing the odometer with 88,483 miles. The BAT listing had a picture with the odometer at 88,396 miles. So whoever bought it on BAT put less than 100 miles on the car.

The manager of the dealership reached out to me about the car. I said the max I would go to is $2000. I told him I know the engine is toast and the Cayenne isn't worth any more than that with a replacement engine being on the order of $35-40K.
We will see if he agrees

ill throw in $100 if they will sell to you for $2100 we can figure out my less than 5% ownership stake after taxes delivery etc later
