This Cayenne was delivered brand new to comedian & Porsche collector Jerry Seinfeld in August of 2003 from Manhattan Motorcars in NYC (MSRP of about $186k adjusted for inflation). This was a very early production Cayenne Turbo that was given to Jerry by Fred Schwab (CEO of Porsche at the time) in exchange for a stand up gig for Porsche execs. I believe he brought the car to California in 2005 and regular servicing was done at Beverly Hills Porsche & Porsche Newport Beach. The second owner brought it to Toronto in 2007 and I bought it last year with about 68k miles.
The car currently has less than 75k miles. Recent service, all done at the Porsche dealership includes: new OEM battery, new driver's seat motor, new keyless entry module, new ignition coils/plugs (major service), new cabin air filter, new OEM rubber floor mats, new HID headlight bulbs (not cheap, but they tend to die at this age), and new brake flex lines. Coolant pipes updated to aluminum at 45k miles. Almost $15k in service records from the last few years alone making sure this car is up to spec.
Heated seats (front and rear), navigation, bluetooth, heated steering wheel, memory seats, Bose sound, keyless entry & start, rear window shades, parking sensors, 4 zone climate control, trailer hitch and so much more. Comes with clean Carfax, both keys, all original books and a binder full of service records dating back to 2003. I also have a set of OEM winter wheels on Pirelli snow tires available for negotiation (the 5 spoke 20" techno wheels are the summers, the 19inch original wheels in the later pics are winters). I also updated the original nav to a factory-looking aftermarket unit with some more modern features (USD, bluetooth, etc).
This has been a very reliable daily driver for me, and aside from the common concerns (like the coolant pipes, which have been addressed) and the gas mileage, these are known to be fairly reliable and inexpensive vehicles to own (unlike the S's which seem to suffer bore score issues). Happy to send more photos upon request (as well as carfax, etc), or answer any questions. The car is located in Ontario (near Toronto), but having been an original US car supposedly the US import process is extremely straight forward to bring it back. Open to offers but asking $15k USD.

I am very interested in your Cayenne. I was the second owner of the car in California and I bought it directly from Jerry. I sold it to Darren Perko in Canada who I assume you bought it from. Darren promised me first right of refusal to purchase it. I would like to buy it back. Please call me ASAP and we can arrange an all cash deal. Call Lisa Taylor at 310-850-5472 or Tom Ridings 562-618-4826.

Hi there. Yes, looks like you sold it to Darren in 2007 - it was put under his wife(?) Lorie Perko's name as that's what I have as the paperwork on file. I will give you a call this afternoon to make arrangements.
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Costanza bought or thought he bought Jon Voight's LeBaron convertible. He was so desperate to prove its provenance that when he found a chewed pencil in the glove box George tried to match the bite marks to those on Kramer's arm where the real Jon Voight had recently bitten Cosmo.

And the name was spelled wrong? Haha, Jerry or Jeri Seinfeld?
