Picked up the Cayenne today

Hi guys,

Went to pick up our new Cayenne today. No turbo, as we are keeping the existing first generation - plus with the congestion these days, you feel the performance once in a blue moon. It's the best bargain for money out there.

The diesel engine (although sourced from VW/Audi) is extremely quiet and smooth. Not to mention, powerful for it's displacement

Here are some photos. At the showroom.

Back at home :

Sweet!

Are you getting rid of the old one?
Those go for about $20-25k USD these days, whats the market like is SA?

Diesel bargain? Look man, if you need to borrow some money . . .

Keeping the old one, not worth it to sell.

Thanks jox, I'll remember to keep the bank of jox in mind for the Turbo S

The diesel was over 120k USD local price

Are you gonna put the turbo wheels on it?

Mike S · #9 10-08-2011, 11:36 AM

Thanks guys!

@sean: Nope! I ordered it like that to keep it low maintenance as they are easy to clean

Plus this will be more of a work horse and one thing I learned from the CTT, was the big wheels are impractical here. I have repaired the 20 inch wheels several times due to the road conditions here

Beautiful color and looks to be spec'ed perfectly for DD type duties. Congrats!
