I'm looking on a dealer group trade site i'm registered on at a 2005 Cayenne.

3.2 S.
80K miles,
full service history (most from an indy not Porsche),
grey metallic,
standard rims,
black leather,
MOT to Feb 19,
one owner from new

They go in to a lot of detail with pics and checking the car and always flag faults they've picked up on. Described as "Decent example for it's age, rock solid build quality, feels like a solid car. A good service history although not all Porsche. ". Lots of pics, and all it seems to need is a set of tyres.

Looks like its going to go for slightly over £4K, maybe close £4.5K.

Plan would be to buy it, stick a good set of tyres on it and run it for a few months as "something for the weekend" and punt it on with a view to breaking even at worst or maybe being a few quids in.

Grab it its a bargain or avoid like the plague?

I've no idea. If the lack of interest / responses to this thread are anything to go by, then no. hehe

Sort of looking for a bit of a "project", but might give this a miss.

I've looked at these too, but can throw some big bills from what I've read. No first hand experience though.

Yes, its a fear of mine, particularly as i'd be buying in blind. Hard to know why they've decided to trade it in. What do they maybe know that i dont?

Bidding now @ £4,644 + fees. Looks like its going to hit £5K. Thats me out - add £500 for tyres and its looking expensive for a car you're buying sight unseen.

If you want one have a look around, I looked at a few in that price bracket.

Some were dogs though, but it will give you an idea of what you can get for your money.

Yes, i'll see whats about. I dont think its something to buy blind at the wrong price.

Definitely don't buy blind.

I went to see this, amongst others, last month.



Looked nice in the pics and description, but when I got there I didn't even ask them to start it up, walked away from it, and the other one they had for sale.

Let's say the car didn't do the pics justice, luckily I didn't travel too far to view it.

Not that much homework if he thinks they do 25mpg laugh

Looks very nice though, similar to mine other than colour and a few choice options.

It does seem to have cleaned up well. Maybe i should have went for it, but as i said its a bit of a roll of the dice buying sight unseen and i need one like i need an extra hole in the head.

It would have been a "you bought what???" moment with Mrs Daemon. hehe

Yeah that's a relationship tester for sure laugh

I looked at three before I settled on mine. A lot of car for under £5k.
