Default Must be something wrong with me: bought another 957

First one (‘08 Base):


just bought this today (‘09 GTS):


I’ve been driving in 2016 Range Rover sport SVR as a daily driver. Getting rid of it and going to keep one of these. Likely going to keep the GTS if it turns out to be a good car. I’m pretty sure there’s something wrong with me lol. Love these cayennes!

Yup, had my eye on it. The seller appeared to be a straight shooter, and with the recent repair history and price, you did good!

thanks. There’s a few things going on with it suspension wise and there is a rough idle but I’ll get it sorted. Paid $7k.

I almost posted it on the thread where someone was looking for a cheap GTS, but decide not to. Since that thread been around for awhile and no serious movement.

LOL.... I was watching that same car.... If you've been lurking on Facebook marketplace, you probably know the car that I bought.... I ended up buying the black 2008 Turbo with 142k miles in Miami that was listed for $13,999....

I'm busy sorting the handful of issues on the car before I begin my overland build.....

The white one is back from a service. New tires (275/45/20) and some other stuff. Of course, it is completely an emotional reaction, but I’m looking forward to getting into servicing the gray GTS.

Default Good choice

Nothing wrong with appreciating a fine car that’s no longer in production! They don’t make them like this anymore!

Loving this thing more and more every day.


Good friend of mine hooked me up with the wheels. Still deciding how far and what to do with an overland build, but will have great help with that too. Stay tuned!

Is this loading mode air suspension or coilovers, or just large wheels?
