Cheap Older Cayenne
Discussion
Hi all. First time poster 👋
I’ve bought a seat Leon cupra ST, which I’m very excited about. However I ordered it in January, yet it isn’t due to even be built until December at the earliest. Which sucks!
My current car - a lease, is due to be returned next week, and can’t be extended.
I therefore am looking to plug the gap, with something from the used market, get use from for 6 months of so and sell on, in the hope I have few major issues in the meantime and with something I won’t lose too much value on. It needs to be big as I have 2 giant dogs and a small baby. I have about £8k to spend, probably looking to cover about 6000 miles before reselling.
There are a couple of Cayenne’s around at that price. High miles (range from 90-130k), and from around 2005, but all the ones I’m interested in come with unblemished service histories. Naturally I’m most drawn to the turbo, there are 1 or 2 of those for around £8k, and I read that they are less likely to suffer catastrophe than the v6 or the S.
Am I setting myself up for a hideous financial fall, or would I be fairly safe with any of these? I’m ok with consumables, tyres, pads etc, and the huge fuel cost. It’s the risk of catastrophe that worries me. Plus I’m not mechanically minded at all, so I’d be trusting documentation rather than my ill informed test drives.
Grateful for anyone’s experience who has bought a cheaper Cayenne (especially turbo) and if anyone has any advice.
Thanks!
