I've just bought some poverty Pork…

[wjb]

Has anyone took a punt on a poverty cayenne?

I used to think they were ugly as sin, but for some reason I've been drawn to them as a replacement for my X5.



Thoughts?

I bought a 2003 Cayenne Turbo in 2013 for £9250. Loved it. Looking at GTSs at the mo to potentially replace my X5.

Looking through poverty porks on auctions, just bumped into this!

WTF? estimated price 1500-2000?

I know they are not the top motor out there but that's a loads of horse power for that money

A lot of horsepower? They were under 200 bhp when they were new!

Had mine just on a year now. a V8S 55 plate. Mine is a rare colour (Dark olive metallic) with a massive option list including a panoramic roof.
bought at 88K now at 99K. It's had new tyres, Vredestein Vortis on the 19" wheels & had a geometry check which showed every wheel pointing in the wrong direction. In Nov fitted a set of 18" wheels with Dunlop winters. In the snow & ice it has been amazing, plenty of traction & no hairy moments. I had the local OPC do a an oil & filter change & give it a check over. All looks good. Mine has full history (not all OPC) & has had the coolant pipes & carden shaft fixed.
Currently over mixed driving returning around 18MPG. Took a while to settle in as had a 2000 Jeep 4L before & they are chalk & cheese.

Rebuilt using Gen 2 parts? Discuss.

Not really sure how that's possible, but even it's 'just' a rebuild by the likes of Hartech or Autofarm, could be worth a punt?

Cheers, gonna do a bit of research. Seen a few nice 4.5 v8s at around £5k ish.

I assume they are horrendous on fuel but we don't do many miles so that's not a problem really.

Are they ok with short journeys, school runs etc?

Already being discussed here. As has been said, it's nonsense.

Saw a couple of cayennes today.

One with an exclamation mark on the dash and the service warning light. Not been done since 2014

Zenith?

Could be Cobalt. Mine looked very similar but was PTS in Estoril Blue. Cost around £3500 in 2000!

I keep looking at that one. But money is pretty strong.

Just looked at the EBay one That could be Estoril apparently a few were done in it. Same spec as mine with Savannah interior. It isn't mine as its 2 years younger.

It doesn't look like Savannah to me.

Had to kiss a few frogs but I found one, 4th time lucky!

Got it home safe, weather turned slightly on the way back!

Not sure could be slightly darker. Which would be Natural?
