Yes - it was at a dealership in NY. Thanks.

I picked up the car on Wednesday and she is definitely a beauty. The drive home from NY to Northern VA was awesome... however - found an issue on the drive home. During my 5 hour drive, the driver's and passenger's footwell was flooded with water. Apparently - the AC condenser drain is plugged because water condensation is dripping inside the footwell area. I am bringing her into the dealership on Monday to get that fixed. Everything will either be covered with my CPO warranty or dealership I bought the car from will front the cost. They definitely stand behind their product.

Common issue, happened on my first Cayenne turbo. Make sure you dry it up though- there are important electronics below the carpets!

She is definitely a beauty. I love the instant power on this car. Handles like a dream. It's been a week and I haven't drove my 996tt since.

Dropped her off the dealership on Monday and they unclogged the AC drain pipe. Looks like that fixed the issue. Probably could've done it myself but I have the CPO so what the heck.

Some serious low mileage on that thing. Did you find out if the coolant pipes were done?

I can not believe how much car you got for $41k! An impossibly good deal. But... Whoa! Stop the press!

Who knows what this option shown in this picture is? The airline tracking and the cargo cross bar? THAT IS FANTASTIC! I want this. Who makes it? Can it be retrofitted?

Thanks JohnnyBahamas. I am very happy with my purchase thus far. The 2yr Porsche CPO is awesome. For the cargo crossbar... is that not just an option that came with the car? I thought it was just an option. But than I looked around and did not see it on other Cayennes. I wonder if it was an aftermarket accessory.

I checked with the salesguy and he told me metal pipes were put in but I can get him to show me documentation on the work. Still trying to really see if it got done or not. Crossing my finger that it was done.

GAWD, you got a great deal. Seriously, if there were a Guinness Book of World Record Car Deals, then you'd be in it. I only got 7% off. I'm not in it.

I found that cargo system online in the 955 Techquipment Catalog. It's Porsche. It's brilliant. I've got requests for quotes from parts dealers in the works.

BTW, to me at least, those metal coolant pipes are important. If the dealer can't provide docs, then I would ask them to video scope it under the intake manifold and show me the video... or find somebody with a camera who can scope it. To me, it's that important.

Thanks man... I'm glad to hear that you think I got a good deal. I contemplated for a while since I thought I may be overpaying for a 2006. The car is in really great condition both inside and outside. I will definitely take your advice and hunt down to find out whether I have the aluminum or plastic pipes. I will let you know what I find. I know this is quite important.
