2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS

Judging by everything we know and learned over the past 60 or so years, the first-generation Porsche Cayenne should not be a vehicle that is aging well. It is built on the Volkswagen Group E platform shared with the Touareg and Audi Q7, which are vehicles you recommend to your worst enemy because you know they are disasters when used. The Cayenne wasn’t immune either with faults like cracked plastic coolant pipes, driveshaft carrier bearings that like to turn into dust, and if you are really unlucky, cylinder bore scoring. Still, enthusiasts are paying very good money for the Turbo examples along with today’s trim, the Cayenne GTS.

This 2009 Cayenne GTS up for sale in Georgia looks incredible from the photos and you’d think it was a low mileage example that was rarely driven. Nope. 204,000 miles. Wait until you see the amount of work that was needed to keep this one perfect.

Yes, that is a long list. Good money after bad, or smart investment? I hate to use the word “investment” here because we know that is a giant lie, but does this justify an asking price of nearly $20,000? You can buy examples with half the miles this one has for the same price, although I doubt they will be as sorted as this one is. Another question you might have to ask is whether the bleeding is really done, or will you just be replacing parts forever on these? I’m not about to find out, but if you happen to be feeling dangerous, let me know how it goes.
