Hey everyone. To compliment my 911, I picked up a 2005 Turbo. It was unbelievably well documented and had all the trouble areas addressed. Hoping and believing in the best. I bought it at a great price, so I have a bit of wiggle room as things come up. Loving using this as my daily driver so far.
We just sold our 05 turbo after close to 5 years enjoyment. Once we addressed the known issues it was a great car. We replaced it with a 2012 turbo cayenne.
The car had 139,xxx miles on it at the time of purchase. It literally had a three ring binder of all the receipts showing all the things that had been taken care of. I didi not expect to see a Cayenne with this level of documentation as most people just bought these to drive them. It also came with 3 fully functional keys and brand new Continental tires. As far as the price, I paid $10,250 with everything included. Hope that helps.

Reason: Adding some additional detail.
Congratulations.
Another 2005TT and I just crossed into 70K miles, it is my daily driver as well and always puts a smile on my face. Sounds like you got a really good one
Congratulations! It's a fantastic daily driver. I'd be interested to hear a summary of what was repaired between 90k and 140k if you have a few minutes to do so.
Just the normal things found on this forum that you would expect, but they were all done. New Carden shaft, coolant pipes with Ts, all new belts, hoses, etc. Even the tech at the Porsche dealer said that they don't really have anything more than can be done to it. Previous owner had them take care of maintenance with basically an open checkbook, so they did everything. They had spent about $5k in the year prior to me buying it on maintenance.
I just got back from a 1000 mile trip to Yosemite and she ran great. Knock on wood. I love this thing so far!
Who knows. The owner was the president of a successful SoCal business, so he spared no expense on the maintenance. Lots of miles, but it is well sorted and documented by the Porsche dealer 3 miles from my house.
Best of luck with your too and many trouble free miles.
