If you haven\u2019t experienced the sound and performance of a naturally aspirated Porsche 4.8 liter V8 you\u2019re in for a treat. I purchased this Cayenne a few years ago as my daily driver and it has been fantastic. It has not burned a drop of oil in my years of ownership and has never let me down. No leaks. Transfer case replaced. It is a driver\u2019s car and has some minor imperfections. It\u2019s not a show car. I have maintained it with an open checkbook. The only issue I have not addressed is the dashboard. Honestly, it hasn\u2019t bothered me and doesn\u2019t affect the driving experience. I have looked into options to have it fixed. You can find complete replacement dashboards on eBay and Porsche parts sites for around (or under) $1000. This past summer I shipped it down to Eurowise in NC to have it converted to a safari build. This is the second Cayenne safari I have had built at Eurowise and they are fantastic! You can see both my builds on their website eurowiseoffroad.com (although they did the photo shoot prior to the lights and rear bumper. And the car was not clean). Look under \u201cEurowise builds\u201d, \u201cCayenne\u201d, \u201c958\u201d, \u201cBlue 958 GTS\u201d. FYI, the Black 958 Turbo next to it is mine as well (but not for sale). \r\n\r\nAnyway, please contact me with any questions or requests. I should be able to respond quickly throughout the auction. Somebody is going to get a great Cayenne! I look forward to seeing where this ends up.

Looking forward to throwing my hat in the ring on this one\n\nContext\n1 - Why are you selling this one instead of the Black 958 Turbo?\n2 - Are there any \u201cwishlist\u201d upgrades you wanted to do but haven\u2019t gotten around to?\n3 - Could you share a list of all the options that came with the car?\n\nHistory/records\n4 - CarFax shows a failed emissions inspection on 2029/06/26; do you have any info about what happened there?\n5 - Could you upload individual photos of each service record you have? What\u2019s the most recent one and what did it include? Especially interested in the transfer case and coolant reservoir replacements from 2022, but would like to see everything that's been done.\n\nMaintenance/condition\n6 - What is the current condition of the brakes and rotors? When were they last replaced?\n7 - How frequently are you servicing fluids? Do you have any records?\n\nAir suspension\n8 - Was the air suspension serviced before/during the Eurowise upgrade? Have any parts been replaced?\n9 - Have you done a jack mode overnight test to see if there is any droop? (instructions here https://rennlist.com/forums/diy-cayenne/1173909-diagnosing-fixing-an-air-suspension-leak-from-the-top-mount.html)\n10 - Re: wheel rub response to @Aarmhh999, can you show a video or pictures of the wheel clearance at hard right and hard left turns for each air suspension height?\n\nMechanical\n11 - Has the water pump been replaced? If so, when?\n12 - Has the high-pressure fuel pump been serviced or replaced? What\u2019s the condition of the vacuum pump?\n13 - Have there been any issues with the transmission or drivetrain?\n14 - Have the coolant pipes been serviced or replaced? Seems like there was a reservoir leak.\n15 - Has the front differential required any repairs or replacement?\n16 - Have you done a compression test? Could you share the results?\n\nElectrical\n17 - Are there any electrical gremlins? Issues with the window shade motors, window switches, etc.?\n18 - Has the PCM experienced any issues or needed reprogramming?
