I am thinking of buying a Cayenne for the missus.
Budget is £15 to £20K.
Must be petrol, I personally loath diesel.
With my budget it looks like the 2008/2009 Cayenne GTS is the weapon of choice although they seem to be pushing up to the 100,000 mile mark.
Are there any issues I should be worried about as the miles pile on.
She does maybe 12,000 miles a year.
Of course the usual condition, service history etc. is all important.
Or should I raid the piggy bank and go for a slightly newer GTS.
Is there much to be gained.
Many thanks for your collective wisdom

RSJ always seem to keep a few nice ones in stock. I'd spend a tiny bit more and buy a minter.

I picked one up one a few months ago, a lot of car for the money.

Pano roofs are best avoided in my view as they can leak at this age (and are heavy), I paid 650 for discs and pads all round at a specialist (OPC wanted 2k).

I sought out PDCC and am glad I did as it is a great option (NB PDCC reservoir needs changing about every 6 years but only £120 albeit for a 15 min job).

Colour is personal but I prefer black or meteor grey, red or white seem to hang around.
