Default Buying a Cayenne Advice

Beginning to think about adding a '03 - '06 Cayenne S to my collection and need some advice.
Plan on using it as a 3rd or 4th vehicle for the wife in the winter and for light hauling when I don't want to drive my PU.
Any thing I should look out for?
Would also be currious about using it to tow my 24' enclosed trailer and spec 911

Thanks for the input...

I don't know the tow rating on the 'S', but as to the cautions, this about sums it up:

An excellent choice...

For the 4th vehicle...

For the wife...

Sometimes in winter.

Judging by the responses you'd think we didn't like the things.....

Just watch what happens when someone decides to buy a 4Runner, or GASP! a Buick and see the responses.

There's good and bad with the Cayenne's and plenty of info here on what to look out for (we really need a sticky thread on this subject, it sure gets asked enough).

And 2003 is preferred.

PS. I hear a 4Runner can take a cliff dive. Literally.

Keep in mind, a 2007 V6 Cayenne is worth Eleventy Billion Dollars ... yes, I checked with Riley.

Yeah, but I think you have to ship it to China, or somewhere, and I'm getting low on stamps.

all this 4runner talk. Is this place turning into t4r?
since you have multiple vehicles I'd say do it! It will make you appreciate them more than you ever have.
