I have only driven the V-6 as a loaner. Comfortable inside, but not very good or power at all. I would look for a certified Cayenne S before I would buy a new V-6. A Cayenne S with 18 inch wheels and snow tires would allow you to get around pretty well. You could then buy 19 inch wheels with performance tires for the summer.Fart said:Im interested to hear what you guys think about the small Cayenne. Is it worth the while, if I get it for a decent price.
Originally, I was interested in the Touareg, but I was able to negotiate $7800 off a fairly loaded 2004 Cayenne S. It was still a bit more than the Touareg, but the difference was small enough to make it worthwhile.SC'dKellenersM5 said:with the porsche you would only be paying for the name.
Aaaah.. the Scuderia shields. What's crazy is that you lose that much in resale if you don't order them on your Ferrari! For some reason that's one of the first thing that people look for when they're buying pre-owned.SC'dKellenersM5 said:thats what makes me loose respect for any company that does that...
Ferrari is charging 2500 bucks for adding the Prancing Horse emblem to the front quarter pannel of the new F430. 2500 bucks for 2 painted things that are no bigger than 5x7
Porsche and Ferrari have definetly dropped a notch and lost respect, charging for those type optionsAnzir said:Aaaah.. the Scuderia shields.

Most people think that the Scuderia shields are simply painted on the quarter panels, that is true for the Formula 1 car but for the production cars, the Scuderia Ferrari shields are actually made of ceramic and then enamelled into the quarter panel that has been recessed to receive the shield.SC'dKellenersM5 said:thats what makes me loose respect for any company that does that...

The Cay V6 is the same exact motor in the VW. It really lags and is just a ploy for Porsche to hit their numbers and get back in the green. I had a Cayenne S, I recommend you test drive both back to back you will see the huge difference. You should get $5000 off easily. Maybe more if you buy off the lot and are not concerned with ordering one. Dealers want to sell what they have in stock, not have to order more.Fart said:Im thinking of buying a 6month old Cayenne with less than 10k miles on it. Some essential options installed (bi-xenon, moonroof, 18" wheels).
Its a fiew bucks cheaper than the MSRP for a new one.
How much discount will a porsche dealer give you buying a new loaded Cayenne? 5%?
Toureg is cheap Cayenne for "poor" people!SC'dKellenersM5 said:while this is certainly an OT post...
The both the Cay. and the Toureg are both heavy as iron and I believe that the Cay is heavier than the toureg by some weight.
You would be better off buying the Toureg and getting the V8, as it would probably run you the same price as the porsche with the v6...with the porsche you would only be paying for the name.
