Kind of thinking about getting rid of my 07 suburban as my DD with 190k on it i am starting to notice some wear. I was looking the other day at used suvs as i never buy new and noticed how cheap these are for as new as they are a 2011S can be had for about 13k with about 80k on them.

Any feedback?

PSS Ben -

I'd really recco you have a Porsche Dealer or Porsche Indie familiar with the Cayennes (&/or at least with the VW Touareg/Audi Q7 cousins) do a PPI on anything which you think may work for you, before buying - including putting it up on the lift.

For that reason, forget about CarMax, cuz they won't let you take nor will they take any car to get a PPI pre-purchase. They want you to first buy the car based upon their self-serving & generic "inspection" & a look see at their lot only (not much use IMHO), then buy it in order to get it inspected - & they tell you that you can return it within 5 days!

I say Bull Puckey! Who the hell in their right mind is going to pay $30-40K+ for a CayS or any car, then have to unwind the transaction, taxes, registration, insurance, etc. after the fact!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I don't know how they stay in business, except that there are probably far more dumb a car buyers out there who trust anybody, than smart ones who get things checked out first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

So bottom line - look them over first & get a PPI on any good prospect(s), then get a written PPI report with prices to repair, & you can use that to negotiate a fair final price.

If you can find one at late-2012-14 MY, then you may avoid the cam bolt & Xfer Case problems.

Also - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) CarMax!

Not that I want any more competition, but then I'm looking for sub-60K miles ore much less, & you seem to be looking at 80K-ish.
