In the last year On my 951 I rebuilt the head,torque tube, clutch 2x, starter, vacuum lines, timing belt, balance shaft belts, oil seals, replaced fuel injectors, new wheel studs, seats, interior, new shifter, rebuilt hatch, wheel bearings, climate control and probably somethings else.

The Cayenne seams easy

My Audi S4 had far more "known issues" than the Cayenne's list of "known issues". On the Audi most of them required pulling the engine out too.

But thank god we have you here, to remind us that buying brand new and not working on our own cars is so bourgeois

Cole

I like my money

EnigmaWmn

No, you just like being an a-hole

Cole

Classy.



If you consider putting the facts into perspective and not just being a jerk to anyone that askes a questions in these forums being an a-hole, then I guess I am.

I just try to clarify the facts to fend off all the scare tactics in these forums.


I hope your "buy high, sell low" plan continues to work for you. I'm plenty happy to buy rigs like this after someone else has sorted through the warranty issues and paid the massive depreciation.

Thank you.

EnigmaWmn

Yeah, putting that "thank you" at the end really makes you the "classy one" after you continuously make sure to indicate your annoyance with those who don't buy used, don't work on their cars themselves and voice their problems on Rennlist, by comments such as the one I quoted further up.

Enjoy working on your car. I'm sure you'll be doing plenty of that

Marc Gelefsky

OK, settle down

Cole

I have never once had an annoyance with anyone buying new.

What annoys me is the scare tactics that seem to stem from the old guard here. (and only here on rennlist) It seems there is a bitterness from those that paid upwards of $100k for a vehicle that can be bought now for 25-35 cents on the dollar.

There seems to br this need to scare off new owners with "ewe......it'll break.......eweww.......you can't afford to fix it" type of posts. Somehow trying to justify or protect your exclusivity you once paid for.


Yes, there are a few issues. But honestly, very few compared to many other cars, especially of this class.

Most of the things can be fixed by an average DIYer others a shop can do for really not much money.

Some things I have shops do, others I do . That is part of being an enthusiast. If you're not an enthusiast, why are you here?

EnigmaWmn

Yes you have. I don't care to go through your posts to give you the exact quotes, but they're there. I believe you keep referring to those people as "elitist"

There is no bitterness and I have addressed this before, as you probably also forgot, because you continuously make this point as well. Post #45

Cole, just like I told you before, it shouldn't really be of concern to you how others spend their money and in this case, why and who is an enthusiast here or not.

Cole

A. You can't find the post by me because it does not exist.

B. I don't care how you spend your money. I would be happy if money never came up in a car forum. But all the negative Cayenee hater posts are the ones that bring up cost. No me.


C. What the hell is up with your totally inappropriate for a car forum avatar? Seriously! This is a car forum. Avatars should bd appropriate to the forums. Many users here read this in their offices, homes etc.

Marc Gelefsky

Seriously, enough of the pissing contest. Thank you.

Every automobile forum that I have ever visited on a regular basis has negativity associated with it. That includes this board, the Saab boards, the Volvo board, the HUMMER board, etc.

It's quite simple, really. People come to these boards to solve problems. They don't make posts very often that say: "Everything was great with my car today. Nothing happened". Who wants to read that? To the uninitiated, these posts can certainly seem very negative or scary. That doesn't mean the people who wrote them are complaining or are upset with the soy ratio in their latte... it means that they are sharing knowledge or seeking knowledge. If it scares people off, then they are probably better off buying another car anyway.

I work on my own cars (within my abilities), and I don't drink lattes. I'm not afraid to admit when there's a problem with my car, no matter how much I paid for it.

So Marc, how are you enjoying the new Cayenne.

EnigmaWmn

I hate repeating myself. I don't care to go through your posts, but those comments are there and you sound like an ***-cole making them

Don't browse internet forums at work, Cole. And if a naked man's torso is giving you a problem at "home, etc", then I really don't know what else to say

I have several cayennes, out in the garden. Oh, wait, you meant the SUV. My bad. Just had to try and put some happiness back into this thread. If I wanted to 'hear' that much arguing, I'd just go visit my folks.
