Default Potential New Cayenne Owner, Need HELP!

Hello everyone, I just sold my Toyota Tacoma and decided to get into a family friendly SUV. I was looking into the New 2019 Cayenne but the payments are just a bit too much for me as of now. I am looking into buying a used 2013 Cayenne Diesel with 82k Miles for about 23k OTD. This would be my first Porsche and had a couple of concerns, I always buy my cars new so I don't have to worry about the warranty etc. I know nothing is perfect and anything can happen. Has anyone had any experience in extended third party warranties? Ive looked at a lot of reviews but am getting mixed signals. I am wanting to know how reliable your Cayennes have been and if I should go through with the deal. Thanks

Is CPO out of budget? My order would be CPO, Carmax warranty, then all other third party warranties.

I haven't gotten into any pricing for the CPO, also can you get the CarMax warranty even if you don't purchase the vehicle through them? Thanks

These are not Toyotas. Porsche parts and service labor costs are considerably higher, for everything. If budgets are an issue and you're hoping warranties will help... a Porsche may not be the wisest purchase.

The Cayenne is as reliable as the former owners diligence maintaining it. If it was dealer maintained and has a Porsche CPO then it's reasonable to assume it's in good shape. But if it's not then all bets are off and some costs can be severe.

Look at diesel warranty on this forum...I believe all diesels whether private party or CPO have warranty. Take your vin, call Porsche North America and they will tell you for sure.

this will materially help with your total cost picture over course of ownership.

I wouldn’t be afraid of this car without warranty...transfer case issue hasn’t been prevalent with diesel.

Agree with Porscheconvert.

The fixes diesels warranty follows the vehicle.

See this link: https://www.vwcourtsettlement.com/wp..._2-1_FINAL.pdf

Check page 10. How to determine if the diesel has got the fix repair? Look under the hood for two stickers certifying the fix. Remember that all diesels have six years bumper to bumper warranty (I forgot mileage) in addition to the 10 years limited powertrain warranty due to the court settlement. Since the CD you are looking is a high mileage one, I should carefully look if it falls within the limits set in page 10 of the booklet.

The CD is quite reliable but the parts may get expensive if not under warranty. It is what it is. If you want relative inexpensive parts, stay with the Toyotas. If you want a great driving experience as the Germans (specially Porsche) know how to do, the Cayenne is the best of the crop. I am biased, of course, with the diesel being one of three Porsches I own/owned.

I'm looking into that Otmo warranty, or whatever they want to call it. Sounds like a win if the fine print is in order.

As I've said in far too many posts here, CPO is the way to go! Congrats and post up some pics!

Watch out for the oil change intervals at 5k. Quite pricey unless you can do it yourself. Also, the 15's and newer have the better headlights.

Finding a CPO with only 25K is a great fine! I'm looking for a 2016 CPO Cayenne as well. Want non Diesel and gray. What did you end up paying if you don't mind me asking and were you able to negotiate anything off the sticker? Not being nosy just trying to see how much wiggle room one has and if the current deal I'm looking at is good or not.

I would echo what others have said about getting a CPO. I have had a couple Cayennes and while reliable, typically haven’t wanted to own one past the warranty.

I thought the service intervals for the Cayenne was 10k?
