Porsche Cayenne or RRS - High milage
Discussion
Looking to buy a old high milage 4x4 to ferry two young kids around in (approx 8k miles a year). I have been looking at RR sports for a while but then see a few cheap Cayenne's and have started to consider them.
Anyone run a high milage Cayenne or RRS? What was the mileage you bought it at/did you run it to?
Any model to avoid/look for?
I know the RRS are temperamental but are the Porsche's the same?
I was thinking of spending less and having some money for repairs. At these type of prices only expecting to run it for a year or two before chopping it in/being uneconomical to repair.
To give you an idea the cars I have been looking at have been:
Budget - £5000 - £10,000
Mileage - 90,000 - 120,000

So a 4.5 is to be avoided? Is there anything that can be done to prevent bore scoring?
A 4.5 Turbo doesn't suffer the same fate so should be good but also needs the coolant pipes done if not already changed?
A 3.6 doesn't suffer from bore scoring but also needs coolant pipes and maybe a little underpowered.
Anything else to add? What about a 3.0 TDI?
