what is the difference between a Cayenne S and the titanium version.
I am looking to buy one to tow my Cayman S to the track, and need to know if it makes any difference to go with the titanium or not.

Also, I read somewhere there are were no 07 built, what's up with that?

Thanks for your understanding and advice.....

The Titanium edition has an attractively priced package of options; attractive if those options are important to you. Review those options and see if they are what you would have spec'ed a Cayenne with anyway. It's just a number crunching problem; work it out. For towing, I think you need PASM, and of course, a factory installed tow package.

There are no '07's because Porsche is introducing the '08 (facelifted) Cayenne in early '07; probably February or March. If you can wait until then, it might be worth while to see how the new drivetrain changes pan out.

In my case I just need a stylish tow vehicle, an 06 with special pricing might be all I need.
Thanks for your response

BTW, another dumb question, do I absolutely need PASM? (a brief explanation will do)

For towing, No, it's not absolutely necessary, but it does help a bit, depending on your trailer/vehicle combination.

For daily driver and 20" wheels, it will help 'soften' up the ride a bit (due to reduced sidewall profile height), but again, not absolutely necessary.

Thanks Lewis, I am going to start shopping for one very soon.
I would guess 15% off MSRP would be a good start, what do you think?
BTW, have you checked your PM lately?

If you're towing I think PASM is mandatory- and it's nice when you're not towing as well- and should help with resale...

If you find an 04 Cayenne S, Titanium metallic, PASM, ~ 60K miles......do NOT buy it.......trust me
Seems reasonalble, given the current market for Cayennes (sales off 20% or so). Depends on which local dealer you will be dealing with.
Still going thru the death threat ones (my favorites), I should finish them this weekend.

If I were in the market for a new Cayenne S right now - I would wait a few months for the new model coming out.

My late, late 2004 model Cayenne S has everything (and then some) a "Tit.S" has (minus the painted rims) and the options added up were no cheaper.

The only deal I have ever got from Porsche was the free "X-51 engine package" (or 17k) of my Club Coupe as "configured"...

BostonDMD

You are kidding, right?

BostonDMD

The new model will not be 15% off sticker though.......

ltc

No.
It's OK, it's just Peter the Great's idea of foreplay I'm sure.

ltc

Dealers will try and hold sticker (new model, high demand, yadayada....) but $4-$6K off will be available I'd guess.

ltc

And BTW, the initial shipment of facelifts (Phyllis Diller Cayennes) will be PCNA configured 'fleet' or 'launch' vehicles (standard set of options, colors, etc). Not sure any dealers can even place a customer configured facelift Cayenne order yet.....

What would you do? I have read that it only has 25 more hp.
I need it to tow my cayman s on an open aluminum trailer.
I guess for the 5k extra I can get a new model year....
Opinions?
