I took the plunge..bought a 2008 Cayenne TT Loaded w/ no Bose
Just picked up a Carmona Red Turbo Cayenne, 2 owner Arizona/Florida Car. Options include PDCC, Panoramic roof, Thermal glass, Entry and Drive and a factory fire extinguisher with PSM.
I’d been searching for a Cayenne for quite some time and with the help of members on this forum and their posts, it made things a lot easier. I’d particularly like to thank mrtoro who volunteered to check out a CTT for me in Denver and volunteered to ensure the car checked out. Although the deal never panned out and I chose another Porsche...Thanks Cenk
.
As far as the “no bose” stereo goes,…I took delivery of the Cayenne only to later find out that the previous owner removed the rear amp, 6 disc changer, Bose sub under the spare tire and installed a Kenwood double din unit; not sure why. He connected what I think are sub standard speakers/wires, no amp, couldn’t hook up the rear camera (pops out when in reverse though) and xm radio. I have to figure out if I want to go back to the stock setup but for now, I’m in no hurry, the truck is a blast!

Congrats. As others will say on this Forum, "it didn't happen without pictures" You cant attach and upload, you have to like in the URL from another public photo host, like photobucket.

Good god that thing is gorgeous! I much prefer this model Cayenne to the newer ones (09 and beyond). I don't like where Porsche is going with it's styling. Nice that you have the adjustable suspension, twin turbo and leather wrapped dash. I'm jealous. Do you mind if I asked what you paid?

Thanks you guys for your comments and feedback.
Yes ArneeA, that's a 6 year old Kenwood with bluetooth, GPS and Sirius. Turns out, the original owner who bought the car and ordered all the great options it has, didn't like the factory Bose system so he had it re-wired, removed the Bose amps and sub under the spare. At first, I thought it would be a hindrance but i'm ok with it now. I probably won't go back to the factory setup (OEM radio was included w/ purchase) and I may just upgrade the Kenwood to something a little nicer and more user friendly.
