Early Cayennes

[audi321]

Hi all. I'm having a mid life crisis and to aid this, I'm considering an early Cayenne. There's one for sale close to me privately at £8000. It's a 4.5 S Tiptronic.

Its done 76k and looks at first glance to be pretty immaculate for the age.

Is there anything I need to look at in detail when I go and view it? He says on the phone that he's owned it since 2009 and he sounds pretty genuine (his house is nice!)

He says he gets 20mpg from it, but TBH I don't do many miles now, so I don't really care too much about MPG. He also says the VEL is £280 for the year which isn't too bad either.

Any comments?

Well I've been to see it and agreed a price of £7500. What a lot of car for the money! The thing is solid......just like a Porsche should be built. I was worried that the build quality wouldn't be there given that it's based upon a VW tourag but that's not the case. Only 70,000 miles with FPSH so hopefully should be fine. I'll have a look at those hoses asap thanks for the advice.

And what an engine! 4.5 petrol mixed with the 4wd was amazing, even in the wet like tonight.

Picking it up tomorrow..........even though I've had cars costing 4 times more expensive than this in the past, I'm actually really excited about this as I've never had anything this sort of size before!

Now considering upgrades for it lol. Front bumper seems like first step followed by some 22"s........BLING
