Cayenne GT real world residuals

Personally I think the way to use a Cayenne is to drive the thing into the ground and ignore the depreciation. I had a Cayenne S V8 that I bought new in late 2007 and uses it as a tie at,off-roader , you name it until 2022. A neighbour took it off me for a pittance and it still runs well with 345000km on it. I replaced it with a new Cayenne GTS in 2022 which only has only 30,000 km on it now but I will simply run it tlll it’s worthless.
I am not a fan of the coupe version as it cuts luggage room for no advantage but just a personal preference. Some prefer the look and there are many such vehicles now.
Do you have a rough idea outside of servicing/wear and tear items how much you spent keeping it going for 345k km?I am not a fan of the coupe version as it cuts luggage room for no advantage but just a personal preference. Some prefer the look and there are many such vehicles now.

Car has origins engine and tranny despite lots of towing a car trailer. Only dealer serviced and the only major item were:Camshaft lifter. at 220k: Big job and the replaced both of them as it is about intensive. As I recall about $7000
A/C compressor at about 250k: Cannot recall the cost but usual Porsche prices;)
Leaking in exhaust at about 280km. My dealer told me that Porsche would want to replace the whole thing but only one part needed replacing near the manifold. Went to a recommended after market place ( which had 20 old Porsches outside) and had the fix done for $800.
Apart from that, two replacement windshields for stone damage and replacement rocker panels that I tore off on rocks.
Rest was just routine servicing. No rust.
The car was a stripper, no new system, no air suspension ,no sunroof. no leather dash or the like.. Just wanted the V8 because the hauling capacity was 7700lbs and I was towing 5500.
