Default Finally Bought a Diesel

After being in the market for about 9 months (went through a job change which put a hold on things), I finally picked up a 2015 diesel yesterday. She has 60,000 miles on her and spent her life in Newport Beach. The "must haves" were white exterior, black interior, towing package, and decent options like the turbo rims and heated/cooled seats (nothing crazy).

This one checked all the boxes and then some! The roof rails on this one were a huge plus as I'd likely install them aftermarket.

I think I may eventually go black with the wheels and get some beefier tires, but no immediate plans besides a roof rack for bikes. It's my first diesel so there will definitely be some learning involved!

Looks super clean. Are those really turbo wheels?

I’m not sure the exact name of them, I guess I just meant the upgraded wheels rather than the base ones. I thought the option sheet said something like “19 inch cayenne turbo wheels”

Awesome Find!! I have the almost the exact same spec except an agate interior. The torque is addicting in 8th gear at 2400 rpm. ENJOY

Congratulation.

Highway driving is a pleasure with the diesel.
Excellent choice!

Any chance you bought it from Barrington Motorworks like 2-3 months ago? Because if so we looked hard at that one.

Nice buy. If you have the hitch, this is the bike rack to get.

Yup - get a hitch rack.

The 1up is nice. If it's MTBs, look at a ReconRack, too.
