    you should be fine. 04 cars had some electronic gremlins. you wanna make sure these were all sorted out. and a clean service history...

    Re: buying 2004 Cayenne turbo

    Personally, I would have bought a Cayenne TT only starting with MY 2006 but it really depends on the price tag. The earlier cars don't have major issues but there are a few flaws which may kick in sooner or later. Just make sure you buy from an official dealer with the Porsche used car warranty if possible.

    With the MKII Cayennes superior driving over the MKI as well as the collapsed prices of the second hand car marked, would you not be inclined to go for an older new model?

    Re: buying 2004 Cayenne turbo

    Hi Jo2k,

    I am not sure what 04TT's will do but I assume you would be able to get a good deal as obviously it is an 'old' model.

    The current model is a much smoother drive (less jerky) PDCC, more powerful engine, updated Tiptronic gearbox it is diffcult to compare the two. I never drove a MkI turbo but I had an S what was suffering from similar 'issues' as described above.

    Maybe others can shed light on the differences between MkI & MkII CTT?

    Cheers,

    Mark

    I doubt a dealer would give me $30k on my 04 CTT with 40k miles...

    Will next-gen be coming in 2010 as a 2011 model? or coming in 2011 as a 2012 model...
