there is only a specific sliver that the moratorium applies to, specifically non-payment of rent. if you violate your lease for other reasons you can be evicted

You can still evict for non payment, it's up to the tenant to submit the CDC declaration ( PDF) that the non-payment was due to COVID19. They can also simply testify to same orally in court, from what I've seen.

My cayenne has been great for 106,000 miles and counting. The transfer case issues occur more frequently with the higher horsepower models - the Turbo especially. Mine is on the original.
In fact, mine has only had two parts replaced in 8 years: a water pump at 70k (even the vaunted Land Cruiser 200 series throws water pumps about as frequently) and a thermostat at 80k miles.
Maintenance is not bad - I do annual services at the dealership for $400 because they give me a sweet loaner and I'm a sucker for peace of mind. Tires are ~$1200 if you get them on tirerack and the Pirellis I buy last about 40k miles.
Oddly enough, it's so complex that whenever there are issues, many can be fixed by turning off the car, waiting 30 seconds, and starting it again - like resetting a modem. Also the manual is helpful for a lot of unexpected issues: I had a headlight burn out. Of course I panicked that it would be $1000 to repair. After reading the manual I learned the entire headlight assembly pops out and you can change a bulb yourself in 2 minutes for around $14.

A tree tried to take it out last week but it's being fixed. Only $10k for a rear hatch!



I do have some shopping advice though: These things have a million options and no two are configured the same. Really sit down and figure out what goofy shite you want and be picky. I regret not getting the S model with 100 more HP. I regret not getting cooled seats and a trailer hitch and a panoramic roof and the two-tone cream/brown interior and the 20" RS Spyder Wheels... None of these insanely expensive options command much of a price bump on the used market. You just have to shop carefully.

I just signed a petition to sue a guy for an unpaid debt who listed Primerica as his employer. He attached a 1099 to the loan app - dude made $122k from them last year. :lol:

I was at Subway and there was a guy meeting with a younger guy selling him on how great it is and how much money is to be made.

Might get more credibility if he took him somewhere better than Subway.

As several people on here already know, when I was in high school in the early 2000's I created a pretty popular website that hosted hundreds of flash games and made well over 100k my sophomore year. I sold the site in 2008 and now I make over a million per year mostly just renting out property. Have never actually worked a real job in my life

That's a lot of rental income. How many units do you manage? How many do you have on payroll for upkeep on all that? Houses, condos, or commercial property? What part of the country?

You think this administration is dumb enough to just choose a firm rather than bidding it out?


Oh shite, yeah you're right, probably just gonna pick some donor who says he has a construction company. Like the wireline company in Puerto Rico that had two employees :lol:

How you like your Cayenne baw?

Mine is a 2011 with 82,000 miles now. When I bought it had around 50k. It is without question the best vehicle I've ever bought - I have no idea why the resale is so bad on these, other than unfounded paranoia on maintenance. The only issue I've had is a water pump failure at 70k, a well-known weak point (Land Cruisers have the same problem). I've read Turbo models can have issues with the transfer case - because they're 500HP & AWD - but that could be message boards skewing the data.

With a good radar detector it's the best road trip vehicle at any price.

There are so many for sale and Porsche options are all a-la-carte so you really need to shop carefully to make sure you get one with all the features you want. Run the VIN on vindecoderz.com to see the build sheet.

I am by no means an OT Baller, but I drive a Cayenne because it's the most fun car that I can fit toddlers in. Anyway, I got an oil change at the Porsche dealer and a couple weeks later they invited me (and everyone else who got the email blast - first few to respond got the spots) to the Porsche Driving School in Alabama - totally free except for my hotel room - even including a dinner. Each dealer gets allocations and I guess their turn came up and didn't have enough ballers to fill out the roster. I couldn't go because it was on about 3 days notice, but I will next time. You drive every version of the 911 and whatever other Porsche you want. An $1800 trip all for getting an overpriced oil change.
