Porsche Cayenne S 4.5 V8 - 2005

Sunroofs leak, blocked drains, usual chaos follows.

Check air suspension all works.

V8s known for bore score but any still alive probably fine.

15mpg. Listen for exhaust leaks. Check for driveline knocks/bangs.

Read the codes before purchase if you can.

Rear tailgate struts often don't get changed as it is a big job to fix so check tailgate stays up.

Quick check of the tread wear across the tyres would be helpful in finding out if it is a tyre eater or not.

They're worth about a grand, anyone spending more needs to see a special doctor, I just bought one for less than a grand and I'm still not sure it was good value. Someone else paid £4k for it in January, which really made me laugh.

Base spec was exceedingly miserly so don't assume it has rudimentary stuff like cruise control without checking.
