I have been reading the forum for advice for years and am posting now for help with a purchase decision on a 2023 CPO GTS/Turbo. I've been scouring the market nationally for a build that works well for us, and this seems to be the best example I can find of heavily optioned without too many miles and a nice long CPO warranty.
I just wanted to get people's thoughts on this build, the asking price, the CarFax history, etc. I don't love that someone drove it 17,000 miles in 11 months but figure it's still light mileage-wise and has warranty through 2029. I find it somewhat suspicious that they've had it up for sale since Jan 2024. I imagine a PPI would be important to do? Do I ask the dealership to do that or ask them if I can pay for an independent shop to do it? Thanks for the advice on a first time Cayenne purchase!
Nice build with all the performance goodies, too. I saw only one key fob displayed on the photos. Check that it has two working key fobs.
You may wish to have the PPI conducted by a shop other than the dealer. The selling dealer may be biased or may pressure their mechanic to overlook issues. That way, they don’t have to pay to fix it prior to the sale. When it breaks after you buy it, they bill Porsche warranty for the repair.

Nice build, it has PCCB so no squeal. Nice ext color. My view is that a PPI is overrated on a newish car with a warranty as its very limiting on what a mechanic can/will discover. But it can't hurt, it will just cost you. It won't discover the things that might bother you like squeaks and rattles.

But to be honest it doesn't really matter since it's CPO. As long as it breaks in the lifetime of warranty... It's an inconvenience but at least it's free.
the build is pretty awesome (with basically all the bells and whistles) . I think that they have had the car for about 6 months due to the high price.. i am guessing they were NOT asking for $123K but rather more... i would totally buy the car if they are willing to negotiate the price and offer them $115 K... the factor to consider are the miles... use the leverage for a better price if YOU are keeping the car for long time, it you wanted to have it only for few months... you would loose more money when trying to sell it due to miles...
I was wondering what would be reasonable here given that they have had it listed for sale since Jan 2024. I also was leaning towards $115K but wasn't sure if I'm pushing too hard. Doesn't hard to ask, I suppose. I was planning on paying cash though I'd be willing to finance through them (and then just pay off the loan immediately) if Porsche dealerships ever give better deals on their CPOs that route.
This would be a daily 60 mi round trip commuter + family car for trips on the weekends. Coming from a 2020 Macan S that we put 112K miles on in 4 years of driving. Still going strong but need more room now that we have a kid. I haven't driven a Cayenne Turbo before. I've driven a 2022 GTS before and love the incredible exhaust note, but I haven't been able to find one with all the goodies like this one has loaded up. With this one being so loaded, seems hard to pass up (even if it doesn't have clear taillights and Burmester like I was hoping for!). I do not need a trailer hitch.
Anyone know of a good independent Porsche shop in that part of Indiana? I'm not from the area and would be traveling there to buy.
Working my way through negotiating a deal on this car. When I talked to the salesperson today, I am told the car went for a 60 day CPO recertification and was found to have warping of the PORSCHE letters within the light bar (photo here). They're going to replace the light bar, of course, but I wondered 1) if anyone has seen this issue before and 2) whether it should lead to any other concerns.

Thanks for the input!
I've never seen that, However it is know to have a condensation issue. I would assume it had the condensation issue and then the "S" warped. I'm surprised that the dealer is fixing that, I think they'd try to let that slide.
I wouldn't be concerned since they're replacing it.

Interesting! I could certainly see how moisture/condensation building up inside could predispose to warping; I just figured it would be a more commonly seen issue in that case. I noticed the "S" first as well, and then the dealer kindly pointed out to me that the "O" and the "E" are also looking warped. He said it's a warranty issue so would be taken care of regardless.

Oh wow, I see that now. Well it's being replaced so nothing to worry about. Just keep an eye out on the new light bar they put in, like I had said before the condensation issue is super super common. I think my Panamera went through 4 different brand new tail lights ( all replaced under the CPO) But still.
