New here so please be gentle. I'm in the market for 2011-2013 Turbo in the So. Cal. area and upon my search at CarMax and on Autotrader, I bumped into this 2011 with 29K miles, clean Carfax, and 1-owner. It has an ONYX Concepts Bodykit and wheels (which I admittedly think looks rather cool and different). The price still seems high and I would really appreciate thoughts/feedback from experienced folks on this site as I pin my search down to the right vehicle. This would not be a daily driver for me (as I commute around in a Chevy Volt due to LA traffic)... something to enjoy on the weekends.

Also thinking about warranty (CarMax vs. 3rd Party).

Thanks in advance!

Id say they have it marked up $20K to $30K just for that body kit

If you are thinking of resale I would get one w/o the body kit. Those usually limit the number of people interested. BTW, that one is pretty gaudy imho.

It's all personal opinion, of course, but I deduct for mods such as this one. But if it's something you would spend money on anyhow after buying a stock one, maybe it's worth it. Only you can decide.

A matter of personal taste.

If you are looking for a warranty your best option is a Porsche CPO. Aftermarket warranties are a false sense of security IMO. When I was researching warranties most would not cover Turbo models. They excluded many of the parts that typically fail on a NA Cayenne.

Same story with Carmax, they market a third party warranty contract. Google complaints about their coverage.

A better option is to hold the warranty premium in reserve and self insure. Depending on the year you can expect to spend about $1K/yr for repairs. Speaking from personal experience it was 1.2K/yr for a CS that was 5 model years old when purchased.

Agree with Karl JC.......

With that aftermarket kit they should mark it down 20k from normal list.

Paying extra for someones unique style is long term $$$. You hit a curb? Good luck fixing that, you will find the manufacture no longer makes it, etc. Insurance will not cover a body kit, etc.

That is a hideous look. It looks like it should be in Batman. Might be cool for the caped crusader on the big screen, but no way that's an $80k car for a private party. Unless you really, really, really want to be Batman.

Wow. What a mess. WTF was the original owner thinking? It must be nice to have more money than brains.

2011 CTT is an awesome truck. Not a fan of the kit, over the top for me. IMO $15-20K overpriced. I didn't see sport or Burmester options. I've bought several cars from Carmax and purchase their extended warranty every time. I've never had a problem. IMO, look for a nicely optioned unmolested 2011-2014 CTT or CTTS, you'll be much happier.

LOL.....Best answer by far !

Not even sure what to say about this one... I agree with wrinkledpants, must be nice to have much more money than brains.

On that note, I'll sell you my 09 blacked out Cayenne Turbo S for $65k ? lol...

I paid 1/3 of that price for my 09 Turbo S, granted its older.... but I would take it over that awful body kit any day. Keep it simple...

Looks like a Mitsu fan was handed a Porsche but still wanted an evo. I'd love a 2011 ctt, but not an $80k Mitsubishi.

I would avoid that body kit, that kit would plow snow off a driveway pretty good... no more than 55k would be a reasonable price

That same dealer has a GTS with about the same mileage for $13,000 less. You may give up a few ponies (but not too many) and the GTS will hold its value a lot better than the "kitted" turbo. The savings would make for a robust self-warranty/maintenance fund. Just sayin'.....
