Why have 2011+ Porsche Cayennes dropped so much in value?

i dont know but i went and looked at 2016 audi's q5 and those still dont have backup cameras.

45K and it doesnt even have backup cameras

I'd drive it but wouldn't seek one out because the stealership in BR sucks arse.

Hell the 1st Gen Cayennes can be had for less than $10k now. It's crazy.

But those have had some reliability problems from what I understand. Same with older BMWs, especially the 7.

94-01 7series (e38) was the GOAT. The e39 (01-07)sucks fricking arse and is a money pit.

I do think you're skewing you numbers a bit by using the oldest Porsche and comparing it to 2013 and 2014 others, but that's not a huge detail.

I went more for similar mileage in my examples. I understand newer is "better" but I feel like it's fair to compare cars that have done the same distance over their life.

They have them. You just have to get the higher package. The stock ones don't come with them.

American vehicles have been putting cameras in the vehicle for almost 10 years, unreal that its not standard for every vehicle today.

I want a used Cayenne. I have gotten pretty good at fixing the shitiest of the BMWs. I mean the price you pay to "roll clean"

Actually need a SUV, but I may just bite the bullet and finance a new 4-runner. Seems a sound financial choice.

I can't spit out my front door without hitting a Tahoe or a 4Runner. Why are those "affordable" for the average SUV buyer, but the Cayenne is not?

Again, reliability doesn't appear to be an issue with this body style Cayenne. It would make sense if they were money pits but apparently they are not.

A Tahoe and 4Runner are probably cheaper and easier to keep on the road most likely. A well maintained example of either of those is more unlikely to actually have a serious problem with less than 200,000 miles - and if they do, parts are widely available in every town. They can also tow a trailer and do SUV things....which is becoming somewhat of a novelty unfortunately.

German cars have an unfortunate history of electrical gremlins, expensive parts, and are usually less affordable to insure. Also, Japanese and Domestic cars seem better suited to the handle what most American drivers expect - which is a lot of miles and very little downtime. Porsche may be a very sturdy, American-style vehicle with little need for regular maintenance.....but that's likely not reality and it's almost certainly not the buyer perception.

Also the Porsche crossovers were all the rage for business use a few years back. I guess there's a big supply of used models a few years old compared to normal Porsches.

The tahoes you listed won't sell for those prices, FWIW. In August of 2014, I bought an immaculately maintained 2012 Z71 Tahoe with heated leather and middle row buckets with 50k highway miles for $25k. It was definitely a good deal. A 2013 today isn't going to sell for $35k. They may list it at that but it means nothing.

The 2011 Cayenne is also a 5 year old vehicle today.
