'16 Turbo S pricing?
So there's a huge disparity in cost between the "regular" Turbo and the Turbo S. I've found one of each, both '16's, both with similar mileage and specs. The Turbo S has PDCC, ACC and PCCB's, otherwise they're the same spec/builds. I'd like PDCC and ACC, PCCB not so much, just because of having to deal with ceramic brakes/cost and needing to source 21" wheels/tires for a winter setup. The big kicker is the Turbo S has ~2 years of CPO left, has had the transfer case replaced (the turbo is still on the factory one), and is slightly cleaner on the exterior. The Turbo has the typical dings/small scrapes while the Turbo S is in excellent shape. Interiors on both are in excellent shape.
But (and it's a big one), the cost difference between the two is $17k and I suspect I can get the Turbo for a bit less, so call the price difference closer to $20k. Is a CPO'd 85k mile Turbo S worth $47k? I'd imagine the Turbo S will depreciate far more as well?

Go for turbo s if you like the car. Cpo plus transfer case at least worth 5000 plus brake job you will do on regular turbo. Have ceramics on my 65000mile truck discs are almost brand new and still original pads. The remaining difference you’ll get back some on resale lmo

The Turbo S won't depreciate more in 2 years? My thought process is a $28k Turbo in two years will be worth $18-20, while a $47k Turbo S in two years will be worth more like $28-30. Is $47k a fair price for a 85k mile, CPO'd Turbo S?

I think I've gotten the price down as much as I can, have moved the seller a good amount off their asking price. In looking at the book prices, they're calling for $43-44k for it, but that's without CPO, so it seems like $47k is in line with the books, but I'm not sure if that's the real market selling price...

Seems high to me. I do agree the s’s seem to command more. In dec I picked up a 16 turbo w/ 80k miles that was only missing the pccb’s ( which I did not want ) in the low 30’s OTD w/cpo. A minor tune gets you to s performance levels but spend time driving the regular turbo and you won’t be able to tell much or need too much more ( mine is used for long haul trips and lugging things around town). . I looked for a year and found the right one. Pricing is very odd these days…. Cpo definitely worth it. Right before I picked it up they did transfer case , torque converter, engine out service all coolant and vacuum lines, steel bolts, timing chain and a host of other items. Pretty much looks and drives like brand new. I did the brakes myself and was about 1k in parts and my time. If it checks all the boxes and you are good with price then buy it. I suspect used car pricing is going to get out of hand again here in the not too distant future.

From a private individual that had it for a year but had 5 other Porsches so wanted the room and I was patient for 3 months while the dealer replaced everything under cpo before I bought it. Has a year left on cpo so gave me some additional comfort. I also flew out to the dealer and spent a few hrs with service manager going over car as this one is my highway long haul drive car. If I let him trade it to dealer then attempted to buy they would have added 5k so I just bought it before that Happened. I wasn’t in a rush and wanted specific options and this one checked the box.

Just for pricing reference, I'm closing on a freshly CPO'd Turbo S this week with 82K w/ ceramics, Burmester, Sport Design, rails, hitch, ACC, LDW, back seat TVs, soft close doors and heated and soundproof glass for 41K. No accidents, no dings, just a little curb rash. Pretty good but not impeccable service history. I'll post the details on the pricing thread once it's delivered and I get some pics. Mid-40s seems to be about where the market is currently. I've been shopping this market for over a year with very specific color and option requirements and when they're priced this aggressively, they do go quick. Because it was priced right with CPO I did not even attempt to negotiate. I figure w/o CPO it would have listed around 35-37K so there's no way I could pass on it. The fact it ticked all my boxes as well was a huge plus.

I spent 45k on my '16 Turbo S back in October with 80k on the clock. PDCC is great, and it and PTV+ are the main reasons to choose a CTTS over a CTT. I don't think I've seen both optioned on a .2 Turbo. I could take or leave ACC if I'm being honest, even after specifically shopping for it. I can only describe it as having a very narrow cone of "vision" while at the same time being overly sensitive. I've probably used it about 3 times, and the PAS system tried to kill me once, so I ended up turning it off.

There were only 341 2016 Turbo S Cayennes sent to the U.S.. I bought my first one with 17k on it CPO in 2018 with a $217+ build sheet (out the door it was $248 with tax/tag/PPF/ and all the other goodies). It remains an awesome car. So good in fact that I started buying a few low mile examples to drive on a limited basis (I've left lots of comments on the other thread).
I think that they are super underpriced for what they are and love driving em.
Buy that Turbo S and laugh out loud when you hit that "Sport Plus" button!
P.S. I have a set of winter 20" RS Spyder wheels for a Turbo S that are nearly new - with Continental winter tires on them that I will never use. PM me if interested $3,000...

I agree that the Turbo S, particularly those loaded up with options, is violently underpriced. But I am biased because I bought one!
The market at large merely places these big babies at the top of a heap, and that heap keeps depreciating, albeit slower and slower. Perhaps the curve will flatten. Arguably the 958 is the "Peak Porsche" Cayenne, the last generation before screens replaced instruments and buttons. I love watching a real needle sweep up a real dial. If enough others think the same way, some day the curve might even reverse. It has happened for many a 911.
