Looking for a Cayenne Turbo

[Zanderman]

Hi All,

I need some help looking for a decent Cayenne Turbo, they look like a great mix of practicallity, usable power and sporty-ness and seem to be well thought of by all that have experienced them and own them. Not worried about the fuel consumption as I dont do all that many miles.

I would be looking to chop in my Jag XFR, although I love it and it goes and looks great I find the traction really bad and if the road are even a little wet (and forget the snow!!) it is all over the place, 500bhp going directly into the rear tyres seems to be a bit too much for it at times. So looking for something more suited to our conditions and with usable power/speed.

Not 100% sure what I should be looking at (spec wise etc) but this one looked good:

Needs to be the newer shape and a Turbo other than that I am looking for some advice on must have options and cars that look good. £35K ish would be about my max cost wise I guess.

Thanks!!

A new shape Turbo for £35K. I'll take two please. They start at £65k i'm afraid.

That much I do know, look at the link that is the shape I was referring to when I say 'newer shape'

Even though the other one is from a dealer and has a Porsche warranty?

Didn't read other one, got excited when I saw Turbo S. Good to have warranty although nothing catastrophic goes wrong on there.

[Zanderman]

Is the S much better?

If same price and condition as regular turbo then I would take S of course.
More rare, fair bit more power, a bit quicker and has a couple of extra standard options like PCCB and trim, also nice knowing you have top of the food chain;)

The must have options are pretty much all there with either the "basic" turbo or the "S". There are very few factory option boxes left iirc.
As you are looking to chop in your XFR does that restrict you to dealers only?

I looked at buying am S a couple of years ago..
They were £60k..
That looks like an absolute bargain

[Zanderman]

Not necessarily, if I found something good anough I would buy it direct and sell the Jag privately.

Anyone else have any thoughts /suggestions?

[Zanderman]

Another thing I am noticing is that there are very few Turbos and even less Turbo S available. Wonder why..................

[Zanderman]

Last 6 posts have been mine, I think I will get my coat....................

That Turbo S looks lovely for £35K.

14mpg average over the last 1500 miles answers one of my questions... I was hoping 18-19 might be realistic!

Call Martin Cummings at Cummings of bodmin, Cornwall. He has a beautiful S for sale. He personally owns several cayennes. I bought mine from him and very pleased.
