re: Porsche Cayenne reliability and maintenance

When I bought my wife's Acura, someone had traded in a 2 yo one partially because of maintenance costs.
Amazing vehicle but rough on the pocketbook.
Porsche Cayenne estimated costs.

do you plan on having every service done at the stealership? Because buying a Porsche is the guaranteed way to accomplish that.
Wut?

Find a CPO diesel. Powertrain warrantied through 2024 or some shite due to dieselgate concessions
I did not know about this until recently. I had a TDI and loved it but the buyback price was too high to pass up. The diesels are much more subtle compared to the other specs too.

Base car, non-turbo, non-diesel would be the most practical answer.
While I prefer gas to diesel, the diesel is the way to go for longevity. They come with extra warranty as a result of dieselgate repercussions.
Additionally, the non-Turbo non, gas models had a design flaw in the transfer case that is a bit pricey if you have to do it out of warranty. Diesels didn't have the issue.

So you are proving your earlier post wrong?

Get her a Honda, and if she totals that, a bus pass

I agree that you're walking back your comment that got universally blasted

Land Cruiser or QX80 for reliability and maintenance costs

Just be sure to get the 10-year payment plan.

we have a 2014, transfer case needs to be replaced, at 30k miles, $ 4000-$5000 fix. make sure this is not an issue with your year model. i know they redesign the part because of issues. oil change is $135 at Christian Bros auto. Solid ride otherwise.

If you're concerned about maintenance costs you probably shouldn't be buying a Porsche.

How many miles are on it? I had a base Cayenne for five years. Maintenance was nothing but regular factory maintenance and oil changes, tires and brakes once. I drove it to 110k miles before I got rid of it.
The only thing I got hit with was right before I got rid of it. I don't even remember what it was now but it was a $2500 repair for the parts and labor. I sourced the parts on my own because it was a weird thing to break and Porsche wanted $$$$$ for the part.
ETA: Find a good local Porsche mechanic. If you're near a city there's bound to be a shop that preps cars for track days. Those guys are really good and I found their costs to be reasonable.

Hey op, listen to this guy. I know you're asking about a 35-40k cayenne, but since you are concerned about the COST of maintenance, you should look into a 60-65k land cruiser.

I think I may be your 5th response as an owner. 2013 diesel. Not gonna lie about the maintenance expense, but I can afford ownership. Oil changes are @ 130-145. We've enjoyed ownership. Very comfortable and sporty enough. I'd consider owning a gts but don't like the buy-in. Currently 93k miles. Gets outstanding fuel mileage too.
