2007 Cayenne S to 2010 Turbo S

[sgrimshaw]

Had a 2007 S for two and a half years or so, has big miles @ 120k.

Absolutely love the car, but have a hankering for the Turbo or Turbo S ...

Found a 2010 Turbo, with 70k miles full history etc etc for £26k ish.

Am I mad to contemplate the change?

Is the Turbo any more troublesome than an S ?

Are the MK3 cars just as reliable as the MK2 ?

IMHO Turbo is the way to go.

Regular S is a lot of car for that admittedly good V8 to pull around.

Similarly I has years ago Audi S4 Avant 4.2 V8, and good as it was there is nothing that matches adding twin turbos to something for more twist!

A shameless plug I concede - but my own Turbo is for sale in the classifieds now.

Edited to say - I would go 958 over 957 as that car is frankly so much more modern and lighter weight.

Also - warranty is the way to go, build quality is excellent but you need the Porsche extended warranty.

Thanks drybeer.

I saw yours in the classifieds, lovely looking car.

I’m sure the distance won’t be an issue if you’d like the car - I’d meet you part way if you were comfortable.
