Most bizarre spec Cayenne ever
Discussion
Keeping my eyes open for a nice Cayenne I noticed this looked good value for such a low mileage car...

Then upon closer inspection - manual car with no PCM, but sunroof etc.
Interesting spec choice to say the least.

I didn't even know you could get a Cayenne with a manual gearbox. Though I have to admit, I know nothing about them.
I had one of the very first manuals in the Mk1 3.2 Cayenne (same engine as Golf R32) as a Porsche loan car years ago,I actually really enjoyed it although wasn't that quick. I really don't think this warrants the MOST bizarre specced Cayenne ever tho.PCM is ok if the system is current - after 4 years it's becomming out of date and TBH I don't think PCM is that great a system in any case
I wouldn't be too worried about what options a car has or hasn't - what condition is what's more important to me
besides which pay less sell for less - I'd be happy to buy it

There are a few manual Cayennes out there. We always have to remember to ask when giving valuation indications over the phone prior to arranging to see / purchase. It makes a big difference to the car's price. You assume it will be a tip but as I say they do exist.
Obviously the GTS was marketed in manual form but most will have been ordered as Tips.

Yes, most of them !
You have to remember that the person buying a manual car is probably extremely price conscious. Sat Nav was a very expensive option.

I can't believe that is the reason. A guy I know specced a manual Cayenne when they first came out, but ticked a ludicrous number of other boxes (external spare wheel carrier anyone?) He just didn't want to have an automatic Porsche.You have to remember that the person buying a manual car is probably extremely price conscious. Sat Nav was a very expensive option.

If you're price conscious why would buy a brand new £60k car that is going to depreciate like a stone the minute you leave the dealer (especially a manual and no Nav Cayenne!) As previously mentioned the car in this thread isn't poverty spec. I think the real reason is some people are just like to order what they want to order and screw the depreciation.

Pedants corner: wasn't the 3.2 the same engine as the A4/A6 (i.e. not a narrow angle V like the R32/A3 3.2)?TonyHetherington said:
- isn't yours manual I seem to remember? Anyhow - I spotted that sales admin fee. Bloomin ridiculous
It's only the 3.2 v6 that comes with manual as standard with tip being an upgrade. All the other models (including my diesel) have tip as standard.
And as an 8 speed tip, it is very, very good
