Gone our the days of salvage parts since everything in most Porsches are linked to the computer and the dealer only installs factory new. Obviously makes no sense to put $23K in this car so I'll drive it till it stops driving.
I do all the fluid changes and brakes etc so it has only been to the dealer for the 10K service and one time around 70K miles for commuter brain reset. Besides this the car has given me zero issues. My previous Cayennes saw close to 300K miles each so I'm a tad disappointed. So on the up side getting a new Porsche is in the near future but a few $$$$
