Cayenne S diesel 2016

[nutsytvr]

Anyone know if the 2016 v8 diesel is euro 6 compliant? Cant find any reference tobthis in the brochure or on the Porsche website.

Still waiting for my OPC to respond. I agree re 1st September, thing is though the brochure still says euro5.

Phooey
Yes, of course - no mention. However, my local OPC have just confirmed that all cars from November production will be euro6 compliant, using the adblue system.

OPC called me last evening. Constraint of a part (I suspect the engine!) means I'm now looking at a March delivery

OPC Swindon have one for January delivery, or had when I ordered mine for April as they tried to get me to buy it.

I wish I'd read this before trying to start a new thread last night... I'm looking to order one of these at the moment and heard that the new engine is a 4.0 diesel!... Has anyone ordered one recently, what sort of discounts are people achieving, if you can share? that is...

4.2v8. Ordred mine last August for April delivery. Just had a call from my OPC saying delivery first week in May. Had to confirm my spec. Discount? You are joking.

I understand they are just going to AdBlue the 4.2l V8 to bring it inline with EU6. I believe the engine you refer to is going in the next model.

As far as I can ascertain, that is correct. The delay is caused by a shortage of the adblue parts. Anyway, if it comes out with the new 4l v8 I'll be happy.

My OPC want 1k for Gap which I know is alot. I was warned off ALA by someone else as the company (allegedly) didnt have many assets for payouts and worked from a house, how true that is I dont know??

Are the Turbo 21" diamond cut? I get confused with them all!

Hope you canned the arse out of the Cayenne on the track, I certainly did!

That would be great if they do invite you back as it was a good afternoon.

Ala is only a broker. The policy is underwritten by Canopius, a Lloyds syndicate.

At last. Mine has left the factory - on its way to the port.

Ordered last August, but I did specify delivery for 1st April, so it's not that late.

Midnight blue
Agate grey leather
Air
Memory heated seats
Panoramic roof
Electric towbar
Dab radio
Pcm
Bluetooth - this really should be included in pcm. Real ripoff that Porsche charge extra for it.

Well specced, but I will keep it for at least 4 years, so depreciation is not really an issue for me.

Interesting. I've specced the comfort lighting too. I was hoping it would be similar to my wife's Merc, but now not so hopeful.

Agate grey is not that light. More like anthracite. I've got light beige in my x5, and it is showing the wer after 4 years and 50k miles, particularly on the driver side bolstrs, so thought I would go for something a bit darker.

What discount did you get? I have an appointment tomorrow for a trade in price on my X5 - would be very useful to know what you got.

[nutsytvr]

I thinkall I can hope for is a deal on the finance. I have better (written) offer than Porsche, so should be able to haggle a bit.

[nutsytvr]

Just back from OPC signing all the paperwork.
No chance of discount but went in with alternative finance and GAP quote, both cheaper than Porsche offer. They matched them both.

They confirmed Cayennes built from June will have PCM4 fitted.

Hi Paul
No I can't have the new pcm4. Car already built, arriving at Sheerness today and delivery next week. I'm not bothered about the Apple play nonsense as I don't use apple products, but touchscreen would have been nice. Anyway, it's not a major issue for me.

I think all these email, texting and app functions should be banned in cars - massive distraction whilst driving. Even using a bluetooth phone on handsfree causes distraction, as all "proper" drivers know.

I got £5k off in total. £2k of which was a 'deposit contribution' but in reality was just a discount. I got two bottles of wine and presentation pack containing the keys and a pic of me with my new car

I have already exercised my right to withdraw and put it on Oracle finance as the Porsche rate was at 9+%. Also borrowed £14k on credit cards at ~1.5% and used it to make an overpayment on the Oracle agreement which is at 7.1% I think.

Yes the 'old' PCM is touchscreen.

Managed 33mpg on a steady run up the M1 last night. Almost tolerable.

That's a helluva interest rate. Porsche was 6.5 and I got 5.7 from Black Horse.
Didn't realise the pcm3 was touchscreen - pleased about that.
