+1, doing the same thing as Greg. Specifically, looking at 2004s with around 40-50k miles.

Greg,

Only because (1) you drive a 993TT and (2) because I am here replying first - I will be gentle...

There are numerous threads - search is your friend....

Simon.

Gently used? hmmm.... right.
OK along Simons lines, this is a very wide search topic. And there are numerous issues.
Such as avoid cars till after 2005, ideally 2006 as earlier models had problems. As you dont mention what year car and what budget you are on, that should be your guideline. Otherwise you are on a good track and all you will read is how nicely the CTT drives.... just dont look at the fuel gauge when accelerating, you may actually see it move... :-) Just scan the titles of posts on the forum I am sure that in the first 3-4 pages of it you will have an idea.

Good luck

My 08 CTT can guzzle the juice like a truck stop lizard. The PDCC handling is amazing though and I would buy it all over again, even if gas were $7/gal

Our 2004 C-TT has 142,000+ miles on it - did a water pump, coolant tubes, cardan shaft and coil packs - all else has been normal service - yes I am lucky for sure but it's a daa point for you to consider just the same. T2 knocks on wood. Good Luck!! T2

The good news is that a Cayenne is much less likely to lose it's engine due to premature catastrophic failure than one of Porsche's M96-based Sports Cars.

Seriously, I would probably look for a used 06 Cayenne S Titanium edition before I would buy an 04 Cayenne Turbo.

It's a moot point at best......used Cayennes are VERY hard to come by since they were produced in very limited numbers and are highly sought after.

Too bad, really seemed like the Cayenne owner type.

Who's keeping score.....how many have run away screaming, never to be heard from again?

more than PAG would like to admit.... but then you got self-mutilators like me and mudman who have hung in there with newer variants.. even a few to some with their original alpha or beta!
