I purchased this amazing SUV from a dealer in Texas in December of 2010 with a mileage of 45,070.  I selected
Texas as I didn't want salt exposure.   This SUV has avoided salt and other Winter road chemicals.   I had it
professionally inspected prior to purchase, then fully gone over and caught up on all maintenances upon arrival. 
I've driven the vehicle approximate 16,000 miles over the past 3.5 years, thus the current mileage of ~61,100.
As I live out in the country, the car has seen almost entirely highway use only during my ownership; no misuse,
no racing, no heavy traffic idling.

The best highway mileage I've been able to obtain is 22mpg going 63 mph.

Please know what you're getting into with a Cayenne S.  My opinion, not everyone is cut out to handle this SUV. 
This is a serious, very high powered, high performance vehicle with quirks that all 1st generation Cayennes have.
I found that having the Durametric software was essential for keeping maintenance costs low.    But on the other
hand, no other brand offers continuous driving pleasure like Porsche; for me, most vehicles become wearisome
after awhile.  Not this one.  Each drive, you feel the aliveness and soul of this thing.  This SUV is the best all-
around vehicle I've ever owned (a Porsche 928 last held that title), and I'm not very happy about having to sell it.


Condition Statement
Condition is all around excellent in all regards, with only very minor signs of use. No major accidents.  No computer
error codes.   Engine runs perfectly.  Vehicle drives perfectly.  Interior is extremely clean.  Air conditioning works.

The flaws I'm aware of are:
  (1) The previous owner had a minor parking lot fender bender.  This flaw was pointed out to me during my
       pre-purchase inspection, and I had it professionally examined by my Porsche dealership upon the vehicle's
       arrival.  No significant damage.  Appears to have only been repaired with a front bumper respray.   I could not
       even see it myself until Porsche showed me, that the driver side fender is ever so slightly out of 100% correct
       position.   Ignore it. You can't see it unless you really look for it.
  (2) Rear bumper below tailgate has a small patch of paint missing from when I misloaded an object.
  (3) The odometer reset button has to be pushed a certain way in order for it to work right.

Work I've had done:
- new driveshaft
- new front brakes + rotors + multiple brake fluid flushing
- new brake master cylinder
- stainless steel brake lines
- full servicing including all fluids when purchased and regular maintenance since
- all Porsche campaigns caught up on
- alignment checked when purchased.
- 2nd key purchased (but not yet programmed)
- other odds and ends (I've all records of work I had done).
- call me if you want to go over my service history in detail (receipt by receipt).

Who am I and what is my reputation?
I'm a private seller selling my own cars that I've owned for pleasure driving only.  I'm neither a dealer nor a
backyard mechanic who fixes up cars and resells them.  While not a mechanic by trade, I've been working on
cars my whole life, in later years restoring along with professionals several early Porsches and a few other 
classics.   It's safe to say that I'm a knowledgeable auto enthusiast.   

Although most of my sales on eBay have to do with computers and electronics, I've sold some cars here as 
well, so my strongest references are the feedback received on those transactions -- at least 3 of which you
can still see if scroll through my feedback:

" Excellent transaction... would buy another car without hesitation or concern! "

2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S gets faster, more powerful [w/video]

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Porsche just isn't letting development of the Cayenne Turbo S cease. The 2014 edition was unveiled at last year's Detroit Auto Show boasting 550 horsepower from the brand's 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8, and it could hit 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds to a 175 mph top speed. Those seemed like very impressive specs for an SUV, but only a year later, the German brand has revealed an even more powerful take on its flagship trim in the model lineup. The 2015 Cayenne Turbo S now makes 562 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque from the same V8. The key to seeing such a significant boost in grunt so quickly is that the two turbos are now integral and are located directly in the exhaust manifolds. Porsche's eight-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox still routes power to all four wheels. All of the tweaks let the SUV hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds and a 176 mph to speed. Stopping should come quite rapidly too thanks to 16.5-inch diameter ceramic brake discs up front with 10-piston calipers. Of course, the Cayenne needs to be able to put that added grunt to good use. Porsche claims that the model can lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:59.74. Comparatively, the 550-hp Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR previously touted its SUV 'Ring lap record with a circuit in 8:14 in 2014. The Turbo S doesn't try hard to show off its added prowess, though. Up front, the bumper and undersides of the door mirrors are done in high-gloss black paint. Meanwhile, the roof spoiler and wheel arches are body color. The 21-inch wheels with black edges provide a little flash, and LED headlights are standard. The interior should be comfy too with black and creme leather and carbon fiber accents. The whole package rings up for $157,300, plus $995 destination and delivery, and US deliveries start in late April. Check it out in Porsche's video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

The new Cayenne Turbo S The top athlete among SUVs At the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Porsche is also introducing the new Cayenne Turbo S – the top model of the sporty SUV model series. Its re-engineered 4.8-liter V8 biturbo engine now develops 570 hp (419 kW) and 800 Nm (590 ft lb) of torque. A chassis that is tuned for maximum driving dynamics and packs a wide range of control systems also makes the Cayenne Turbo S a genuine top athlete.

What do J.D. Power's quality ratings really measure?

Wed, Jun 24 2015

Check these recently released J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) results. Do they raise any questions in your mind? Premium sports-car maker Porsche sits in first place for the third straight year, so are Porsches really the best-built cars in the U.S. market? Korean brands Kia and Hyundai are second and fourth, so are Korean vehicles suddenly better than their US, European, and Japanese competitors? Are workaday Chevrolets (seventh place) better than premium Buicks (11th), and Buicks better than luxury Cadillacs (21st), even though all are assembled in General Motors plants with the same processes and many shared parts? Are Japanese Acuras (26th) worse than German Volkswagens (24th)? And is "quality" really what it used to be (and what most perceive it to be), a measure of build excellence? Or has it evolved into much more a measure of likeability and ease of use? To properly analyze these widely watched results, we must first understand what IQS actually studies, and what the numerical scores really mean. First, as its name indicates, it's all about "initial" quality, measured by problems reported by new-vehicle owners in their first 90 days of ownership. If something breaks or falls off four months in, it doesn't count here. Second, the scores are problems per 100 vehicles, or PP100. So Power's 2015 IQS industry average of 112 PP100 translates to just 1.12 reported problems per vehicle. Third, no attempt is made to differentiate BIG problems from minor ones. Thus a transmission or engine failure counts the same as a squeaky glove box door, tricky phone pairing, inconsistent voice recognition, or anything else that annoys the owner. Traditionally, a high-quality vehicle is one that is well-bolted together. It doesn't leak, squeak, rattle, shed parts, show gaps between panels, or break down and leave you stranded. By this standard, there are very few poor-quality new vehicles in today's U.S. market. But what "quality" should not mean, is subjective likeability: ease of operation of the radio, climate controls, or seat adjusters, phone pairing, music downloading, sizes of touch pads on an infotainment screen, quickness of system response, or accuracy of voice-recognition. These are ergonomic "human factors" issues, not "quality" problems. Yet these kinds of pleasability issues are now dominating today's JDP "quality" ratings.

Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.
