Default Finally a Cayenne owner

We picked out our replacement family car today. We have too many old family cars, a 2000 BMW 328i and a 96 Range Rover, so we decided to consolidate. We looked at X5, Range Rover Sport, Mercedes R and ML class all used around 06-07 range under $40k. Finally what caught the wife's eye was this Red 06 Titanium edition Cayenne. She never cared much for Porsches, but for some reason this "BIG RED" caught her eye, she couldn't stop thinking about it.

So.... we drove her home today. It is an 06 drum roll..... only with 3000 miles. Practically brand new, various options, smoked brake light lens, factory red caliper, 19" wheels, chrome rims (which I don't really care for), and supposely bunch of other options which I am still trying to figure out.

We paid high market value. ($40k) But she wanted a "new" car for 40K, this was the closest thing there was. It drives, smells, and feels like a brand new car.

Now, anyone interested in a 1996 Range Rover 4.6 HSE with 56k miles???

Thanks, she does smell very new. But for whatever reason it doesn't smell like a Porsche.......

Great deal!! With such low miles too!

Did they give you the stock titanium edition rims? Is the tint on the tail lights removable?

I thought the tint on the tail lights was the factory option. LOL! Those sleezy sales people. I have no idea what the standard titanium edition rims look like, I thought those were them just chromed.... I guess not.

There is one option I would really like to have, that's the rear back up camera option. Especially for the wife.

(1). Is it prewired?
(2). I do have a A/V button on my PCM so it is just matter of connecting a rear camera and turn on the feature?

Good luck with the new CS. It is not pre-wired, and the only way to activate the A/V is with a Nav-TV module. I have another thread about some of the CAN bus stuff, but so far, no responses. So I think getting a nav-TV module is the only way.

Warranty is what's left of the factory warranty. I guess I am way under with the mileage and until 2011?

Warranty is whatever that's left on the factory warranty. I guess mileage wouldn't be an issue, until 2011?

Have already been thinking about the rear back up camera options, this thing is hard to back up.

This is what I have been working on today, a 993 full major.......



Too many red cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
