The only way I can rationalize owning a Cayenne is used - the up front new depreciation is more than I paid for my house 40 years ago.. Drive a turbo across the dealers curb and it just decreased in value by about 30%.. I prefer to wait a few years and let someone much richer than me eat the big front end depreciation.

I find it hard to buy new again. I had to get GT3 new but only because used would actually cost more. But Cayenne and other cars - hard to justify new. Even rather major issues are smaller than just a few months of depreciation of a new car.

Check out the option pricing. What does it cost P for a headrest crest? Likely 10% of the option price.

And I would still buy used again. Knock on wood, my GTS hasn't missed a lick.

I got a CarChex warranty for my 08 RS4 last year. 3 yr 36K for about 4000. Just in case.
