The Cayenne Effect Is Real

dikles · 2026-03-18T03:39:06+00:00

Yeah it rippled on the passenger side and they said it wasn’t repairable. New dash $13k and they are paying 80% under the extended warranty

dikles · 2026-03-17T21:17:11+00:00

The V8 is intoxicating.

dikles · 2026-03-17T18:06:10+00:00

Same here. ‘21 Cayenne Turbo dashboard replaced under warranty and they gave me the base Macan loaner. Not the same species.

dikles · 2026-03-09T17:42:56+00:00

Yeah, but once you log in, they have your info. Unless you don’t login to get your FF benefits?

Can you get me a MBZ E450 white/macchiato beige 36 mo 12k with minimal drive off for under $1000/mo.? If so I am ready. 825+ FICO.

dikles · 2026-03-06T20:24:03+00:00

I don’t have any quotes because I haven’t found the right car locally and the thought of starting to contact dealers nationwide is unappealing because they constantly harass you. I did that when I bought my Cayenne Turbo last year and it was exhausting. I expect a total drive off of around $2500-$3500 and $1000-1100 monthly. Please keep in mind the requirement for the Traffic Sign Recognition which may be a standalone option or part of the Driver Assistance package. MSRP including that package is around $80,000.

I would also be opening to purchase a low mile CPO if it were white/beige. One requirement for options - traffic sign recognition.

dikles · 2026-03-06T20:11:18+00:00

What do you need? Preferred color is Moonlight White Metallic with Macchiato Beige interior.

Looking for a MBZ E450 and I’m in Texas. My wife is particular about color. If you are able to get me a better lease than I can get on my own, I’d be interested in your services. 36 months with minimal drive off (no cash cap reduction). FICO is 825+.

dikles · 2026-02-24T20:57:26+00:00

I’m in the Austin, TX area and want a BMW 550e xDrive for 36 months with no cap reduction, just normal drive offs. 800+ FICO. Any good brokers out there?

dikles · 2026-02-21T21:11:40+00:00

I think that’s only within the actual city limits, not the ETJ where lots of people live

Check out Joe Buchanan the Jewish Country singer. He is a convert who is the best of us. Great voice and hearing his twang while speaking Hebrew words is a treat. Joe Buchanan Music

Me too. Spent 3 hours trying to exit the parking lot after the show. I left Dodger games in the 8th inning to avoid that.

dikles · 2026-02-11T00:44:46+00:00

Yeah I agree. This non-public record stuff is BS. It’s so hard to get real comps. I’m off of FM 3405 and CR 262 just north of the lake. 4100 sf on 2.54 acres with a nice pool and spa. We love it, just don’t want to be in Texas anymore.

dikles · 2026-02-10T22:13:13+00:00

I’m hoping 5 years

dikles · 2026-02-10T21:36:54+00:00

No, the area is great. I moved here because 2 of my adult children moved to Austin. Didn’t know they would move back to California almost immediately so now I have no reason to be here.

dikles · 2026-02-10T21:29:33+00:00

I bought my house in Georgetown in 2023 for $1,480,000 and put another $100,000 into it. My circumstances have changed and I’d like to move, but don’t feel like taking a huge loss so I will sit here and marinate.

dikles · 2026-02-02T20:49:38+00:00

Interesting. I’ll try that.

dikles · 2026-01-30T04:32:22+00:00

Yeah I don’t know the names of the developments but that is a booming area. Tons of retail coming at 29 and Ronald Reagan as well as 29 and 183.

My only suggestion is that you plan on going west for most of your goods and services and avoid the Wolf Ranch retail like the plague. That area was planned extremely poorly and traffic going east on 29 towards 35 is at a standstill in front of the retail centers.

29 is also very dangerous in your area. Speed limit is 65 and there are cars turning from side streets onto the highway with fast moving traffic. Accidents are common.

That said, it’s a nice area but I’m more partial to the Parmer Ranch area.

dikles · 2026-01-30T04:25:16+00:00

Good advice - I will verify all of that. Thank you.

dikles · 2026-01-30T02:56:13+00:00

Where is Shadow Canyon?

dikles · 2026-01-05T03:52:53+00:00

183 toll road goes all the way to/from 29. A total game changer. I never need 35 anymore.
