Hello all, our Cayenne 2018 (70k) currently has a full Porsche service history, and it's just flashed up saying the next one is due.

Im tempted to keep it going, but at the same time also wondering if there really is much value in it once cars reach this age and mileage?

Would having non FPSH put people off?

We've owned the car for about 5 years now and im likely to keep the car for another year or two. I don't normally keep cars this long but it's been absolutely fantastic for what we need and it's hard to see what to replace it with.

Any thoughts?

Does it's have an extended OPC warranty?
If it does, reccomend OPC servicing
If you intend to put one on it, also keep OPC servicing
If you intend to sell it privately, the OPC extended warranty will give the new buyer peace of mind and make a private sale easier.
If you don't have an extended warranty, and don't intend to put one on it, going to a good independent would make sense.
I it will eventually be sold to trade, the value of the extended warranty is greatly reduced

No warranty, and no plans to put one on either

The only reason for staying with Porsche for servicing is their amazingly cheap warranty.


Having that warranty is what will add value come sale time imho, the service history done at an indy won't take away much if anything imho, not on a car that is 8 or 9 years old.
