Heavily optioned Cayenne Turbo. 20" Turbo Wheels. Alcantara headliner. Air suspension. Running Boards. Xenon Lamps. Heated Front Seats, Rear Seats, Steering Wheel. Bose Audio w/ GPS. Do a VIN search and you can see all the options. Original sticker price was over $130,000. As you can see from the pictures the inside is exceptional for its age, leather is a bit shiny and it could use a new driver's floor mat. Everything works like a new car inside Since I have owned this Cayenne I have replaced Upper Motor Mount, Valve Cover Gaskets, Coolant T Pipe and tires. Along with numerous vent, pcv and vacuum hoses. Prior to that the proper replacement coolant pipes and drive shaft have been fitted. The Cayenne has been well loved by me, but the prior owner was not as careful. From the exterior pictures you can see dents, dings, scratches and ageing clear coat in some areas. Its a 10' pretty car. If you know a good detail shop and PDR guy...I'm sure you can have it looking like a 2' pretty car for $500 or less. Mechanically its very sound. The motor pulls like new, the oil and coolant are in spec (no head gaskets or turbo problems), except for a problem. The front seal between the torque converter and input shaft is leaking. Its caused by coolant damaging the seal when the coolant T-pipe broke. This is a very common problem with these vehicles. Due to this leak I'm selling. I do not have the proper tools to repair and the dealer wants $2,400 to start looking at it. With a 2 post lift, proper tools and patience I'm told its under $50 in parts. I'm also including a complete transmission service kit with proper gaskets, filters and oil from ECS tuning...as I had planned to attempt the repair myself. I'm also including a new set of lower front engine mounts. The car vibrates at a stop. Very common problem with these cars. The mounts age and the fluid in them dissipates. I do not have the proper tools to repair myself, or I would have. It in no way effects reliability of the car the dealer tells me. Not shown but also included is the roof rack and engine covers. It is good for a test drive around the block, but I wouldn't risk a long drive due to this leak. Bring a trailer to move. Its priced to sell and would be an affordable way to get yourself into a very powerful luxury suv. Cost of ownership isn't bad, insurance was cheap. Its just a car you need to love.
