2008 Cayenne GTS, Thinking about buying one ... Options

[SirAndy]

Anyone here who has a 2008 (or thereabouts) Cayenne GTS?

There's one for sale here locally for $17k and it looks to be a clean and well maintained car. The odo shows just over 100k miles.

Any educated (or otherwise) input from the collective?

You guys are killing me.

You do realize that Porsche once was exclusively a sports car company right?

My opinion only at the risk of offending the faithful:

Porsche SUV = (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I know the other cool kids like Ferrari, Maserati, Bugati, and Lambo are all doing SUV's too.

Mama always said "just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it right"!

If Porsche didn't produce a SUV they simply would not be around to make sports cars.

Porsche has a long history of selling whatever they had to reach profitability, remember the Porsche tractor? Or the Industrial engines that were used from everything from Swiss Ski Lifts to barges. Don't poo-poo Porsche for doing what it takes to make a profit.

And their ABX6 aviation engines - most notably used in the Porsche powered Mooney!

Of course, the reverse would be to put a Cessna engine in a 914 or Cayenne - like in that old Bill Cosby comedy bit! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
