Could be AOS, could be the driver's side intercooler has never been emptied of the accumulated oil vapor that gets routed back to that side for emissions, or could be a scored cylinder(s). Either of the first two are very repairable the oil in the intercooler is often falsely misdiagnosed as a blown turbo, which hardly ever happens. It will show up most under heavy deceleration when intake vacuum is high or right as you transition from that tonl heavy acceleration.

thats a $19,000 gamble i would never make lol. good luck with that.

Its definitely a gamble, if the shop confirms it is one of those issues mentioned it may be a no brainer. It spent 5 years in MA so bore scoring could be a legitimate concern.

I’ve found one through a guy my relatives have used to purchase cars at auction. At an auction in PA is a 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS with 132,000. It’s red on tan without any major options but it’s not stock. The carfax indicates that the car is 3 owner, the first 2 drove it in Sacramento up until 110,000 and 18 months ago. It shows decent service records and a small accident that was repaired at a shop that had since closed, but is very reputable. It’s rated at 4.5/5 which is surprisingly good, comes with 18” and A/T tires which I’d like to have but I’ll need to get some 21” with High Performance tires. I’m thinking if I offer $12,000 I could probably get it but I’m concerned that it could’ve been bore scored during its miles in PA. Is this a real concern even though it’s mostly a CA car?

If you purchase this there is a nearby Cayenne salvage dealer with a set of OEM GTS wheels with like new Continental Extreme Contact tires.
$1800.

The weather here in VA is very similar to PA. I have not experienced bore scoring on my 2004 CS or the 2009 GTS.

Ill definitely keep that in mind, I do love those GTS wheels, torn between those and the sport plus. How long has your Cayenne been in VA or colder climates and what year?

v10rick

2009GTS with 85K mi. is presently in VA, been here for the past 7+ years.
2004 S with about 85K mi when sold was here for about 4 years.

No significant issues with either one.

WinstonL

Maybe this will be the last one….

09’ Turbo S With 2 owners, great condition, dealer serviced for 72,000 miles. $25k

Thoughts on price?

CarterRuss

Sounds like a good/great price.

Petza914

That's half price !

WinstonL

Well idk about half but I think it’s probably safe to say it’s worth $30,000 right?

Petza914

At least. Turbo Ss are currently undervalued and should be $20k more than GTSs. There were only 418 of them in the US and eventually the market will realize the rarity and adjust like they have for many of the other Porsche models recently.

Quadcammer

Lol no they wont. Wishful thinking from someone who owns one

Resale Values don't actually matter to me as I'll never sell any of my Porsches, so as long as my insurance covers my investment, that's all I care about. My Cayenne is on an AV policy for 6 figures.

They will gradually rise in value base/lesser models get turned into 4x4s or go the scrap heap. Survivors will eventually set the price.
