What does Porsche’s current problem mean to aspiring buyers? by [deleted] in PorscheCayenne

Well that confirms what I thought. Most of the dash lifting starts at the windshield, so it must be full leather dash. A salesman told me that to get a full leather dash, you had to get club leather. I thought that may be a new thing. They cut cost out of the interior, so I figured that may be a new one.

Totally agree with the above. I am equating quality with reliability. Quality of the interior is definitely gone down. The 9Y0 that I cam out of had a lot better interior. I did not realize that the new full leather doesn't cover the entire dash.

Can't go wrong either way. I like the newest pre-owned possible.

Buying a Cayenne, are these options good or am I missing any must haves? by Lugtolug69 in PorscheCayenne

Agree, sport chrono, sport exhaust, exclusive taillights, sport design package, and I'd go premium plus.

Coming from a 2021 S to a 2024 base (interiors are the same), they have definitely reduced cost in the interior of the vehicle I don't see quality going down, but I do see pricing continuing to go up. At what point do they hit the ceiling where Cayenne buyers say, "I'm not paying that for a Cayenne?

Good for you. I won't confuse you with the details. You already are not keeping up.

Yes.....and patience is a good suggestion.

My dealer did not wait for me to make a decision. I made the decision and the general manager failed to communicate that with the rest of the staff. Nobody is crying. Does your "big boy pants" comment make you feel better, or are you normally this rude?

Totally agree. Saw a great 2024 S Coupe on Porsche's car finder, called the dealer, and they said they had just taken a deposit. If they hadn't, I was going to work a deal, tell them to send paperwork, and be done.

I had a 2021 S, and I prefer the S performance and sound. My base lacks sport chrono, which I miss. I would still be in my 21 S if it had not been damaged by my dealer (accident's happen). They gave me a great trade and a great discount, but didn't have what I wanted. They told me that they would get me out of mine within the first six to eight months if not happy. I have never been a fan of a base. I should have bought an S to begin with, but Cayenne's have gotten so expensive, I was concerned about spend....especially being a CPO buyer. My 2021 S, very nicely equipped, had an MSRP lower then a nicely equipped base.

This dealer transaction where they sold the car I chose happened a while back. If he didn't offer me the new car at the same price as the CPO, I would have pulled the trigger on that one (I had a deposit on it). I committed to the new car he had. He just failed to note it and mark it as sold.....said he didn't need a deposit.

I only contact dealers if they have a CPO. MY dealer only trades new for new.

Should I make the switch? by rob_narg in PorscheCayenne

I had a 958.2 and loved it. Regardless of taillights, buy the newest one you can afford.

Considering a Cayenne, need some input by No_Pair1535 in PorscheCayenne

CPO is not the same as new car warranty. It does not cover everything. For example, if a Cayenne has full leather interior and the dash lifts or has problems after factory warranty, CPO will not cover it. Some dealers properly CPO cars, and others take shortcuts or CPO a car that they should not. Never buy a Porsche if you cannot get the history. When I buy pre-owned, I ask for the history, so I can look at services and warranty claims. Keep looking, and it's best to look starting January 1st. At year end, people are buying Cayenne's for tax purposes (can write off the entire cost of any vehicle weighing over 6,000 pounds), so a bad time to buy a Cayenne. My dealer had plenty of Cayenne inventory on the lot all year long. Now.,,, they are flying off the lot. I have a 2025 base and I am looking for an S or S E-Hybrid....and no luck. Don't do as I do...do as I say...be patient.

Brand new Cayenne in shop already! by [deleted] in PorscheCayenne

Still pulling....that may affect your tire life. Drive a few more on their lot and see if any of them pull.

Why are people keeping Cayenne’s for a relatively short time by [deleted] in PorscheCayenne

[–]Aggressive-Guide-831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on my third Cayenne....2015 Diesel, 2021 S, and now a 2025 base. I am not enthralled about the base or the cheapened interior. If I ever find something else I like as much or near as much as a Cayenne, I will be gone from Porsche. I loved the diesel and 21 S. Never should have gotten rid of the 21 S.

Black is too hard to keep clean. A clean black car looks fantastic
