After a lot of self-debate, I've decided the time has come to let my Cayenne go. She's been a great friend for a long time (we crossed the 100K mile mark back in December), but with the last of the kids moved out into the real world now she's a bit of overkill. I no longer need the extra space, she loves the expensive gas, and since she's only the V6 keeping her just for "sport" isn't really an option.

This time around I'm trading her in, something I haven't done with a car in many, many years. As such, I can't recall if it is acceptable to keep things I've added over the years to possibly sell separately (Like the Porsche all-weather floormats and trunk liner, etc.)? Anyone know the rule/etiquette on that?

I'll definitely miss this place (I lurk far more than I post), and I'll miss her "aura", but it's time for something smaller, faster, and more efficient.

Cheers all!

All a dealer will want is the vehicle. No one is going to check a single thing, they truly do not care one bit about anything but the truck once you trade it in.

Anything you want to keep is yours to keep.

With such a high mileage car, dealer most likely will take it to auction. Just keep it to basics. Extras you can donate to a Rennlist member

Make sure you let us know what your trade in value is :-)

For me, take kbb lowest range price and deduct $3k

.. I recently ordered a 2020 Macan S. My 110K MSRP 2011 Cayenne S with 85K miles trade in was $19K !!

Mrg02D

That’s better than kbb, probably helped you were buying a new Macan :-)

The Porsche Dealership offered me $2250 for my 2004 Cayenne S with 140K when I bought my 13 Diesel in the beginning of the year. I was actually surprised they offered me that much.

I sold it privately for $5,750.

To answer the initial question, take everything that is not nailed down. One nice thing to do though, if you have any maintenance records for it, leave them in the glovebox. Will be a nice bonus for whoever ends up with it.

Take everything you want to keep for whatever reason or to resell.

Dealer gave me $17K...

Anyone wanna buy some Porsche all-weather floor mats? :P

I might be interested. What color are they. Do you have the rear curtain that pulls over the back to hide things? Sorry to sound like a vulture. Thanks

EpiKAC

LOL, no problem.

The floormats (and trunkmat) are black rubber, and I do have the rear curtain cover. The cover is platinum grey though, which matched the interior color of my car.

RazorKQ

Thanks. Sent a PM.

What year?

EpiKAC

Replied!

2012, Base, 106k miles
I know I took a hit, but wife got the bug once she started shopping and wanted her new car "now", keeping me from giving it some time to try to sell outright for more.

Happy wife, happy life, right?

I think getting $17K trade in is a very fair price for a base with 100K miles actually.
