I see a couple of 2008 cayenne turbo in perfect condition around 55k - 65k.
Which is 3 times less than the price when new and they are only 3 years old.

Too good to be true ? or they are cursed like the older cayenne.

My question is: are the 2008 turbo 'fixed' or they have the same horrible reliability problem as the older one ?

If reliable they are kind of the bargain of the century a little bit like the Porsche 996.

Anyways I am on the fence between a 2012 cayenne v6, 2008 CTT, a 2012 range rover sport. I am just afraid the 2012 V6 might not be enough power to be fun on straight roads. And because they are sold out, impossible to test drive one...

 

What car is fun on straight roads?

 

GT2RS.

@Phil,

55 to 65K is just normal 50% depreciation of a 3 to 4 years old CTT. My 08 CTT has been very reliable.

 

The 2011/2012 has a much improved interior compared to the 2008 - 2010. As for the V6 vs. TT, you are comparing two vastly different engines. Also, I think the 2012 V6 (4475 for the Auto) weighs about 900 LBS less than the 2008 TT (5357). That is a lot of extra weight, especially when braking and cornering. I believe the top speed of the 2012 V6 is 142 MPH.

I just ordered a 2012 V6 to replace the 2009. I test drove a RR Sport, and it feels like a School Bus compared to the Cayenne.

 

55-65k is a normal price for 08 CTT. The original MSRP is 110k-140k. Half of MSRP is reasonable for a luxurary car. It's the same for GL450, X5, Q7.

It's too early to judge the reliability of 08. But the 05-06 models are not very bad when you compare them with X5. Besides the few common problems in sticky, it's a reliable truck.
