Default About to purchase a cayenne turbo and wanted to see your input....with pictures

Just went down to the dealer and put a deposit on the car for $39,800

I wanted to know pretty much if you guys think this is a good deal or not. Also what reliability issues I will be look at in the long run after the warranty expires.
It is Porsche certified for 2 years / 50,000 miles and I will be putting around 12,000 on it a year.

Honestly the car is in amazing shape. The seats look as though they are from a car with 10,000 miles on it and the paint is perfect not one single scratch. Brakes were all redone / and 60,000 mile service was just performed (he showed me all the paperwork).

Also another question I had was about the turbo and how long they last? Also how much for replacement?

here is the link and I really do appreciate any comments:

I think that is an excellent deal. Especially that is a CPO. Good luck!

I think it is a good deal. I saw a car recently in the same great shape and wished it was CPO'ed. Good luck and enjoy!

Do any of these terms scare you?

There have been a few that have failed but not that many turbo that is. Good to see another 951 guy over here is it coming to be the tow beast for you 951 ?

Really? well that 951 is a clean one. I think that you are going to have to fight the feeling of tracking that beautiful 951 after getting the cayenne. Like me you will never have the perfect weather to drive it because it lacks the comfort of the cayenne, trust me been there.
