Hello. Firstly, let me thank you for taking the time to look at my auction. This Cayenne is a two owner vehicle and was purchased new from the dealer. I know there are a fair number of Porsche Cayennes to look at and choose from. Some may actually be nicer than this one, but the price won’t be as competitive. This vehicle has no excuses as it is a nice used SUV. I purchased last summer with the intent to drive, but I have just had too much to do. I did the maintenance it needed and just occasionally drove it around the block and started it up to warm it up and keep it operating well. It has several clear title searches including but not limited to CARFAX. It is very nice and can drive home to anywhere. If you want further pictures of have further questions, please send me an email through ebay or give me a call or text me at 801-699-6542. Please no time wasters, dreamers or lookie-loos. I just don't have the time to waste. Feel to send me any serious questions that you may have, however. Thank you for looking.
The Good:
For sale is a nice condition 2003 Porsche Cayenne S with 96k miles and ALL service work completed.
Standard Equipment Includes:
Porsche 4.5L 32 Valve all aluminum V8 engine with 340 bhp and 330 lbsft of torque Four Wheel Disc Brakes with Brembo Alloy 4 piston calipers 20" Aluminum Alloy Wheels with 4 new Falken tires mounted on them. They have seen about 4 miles since new two months and run great. AM/FM CD player stereo with ten speakers andThe engine runs strong. The transmission shifts nicely and is a recent replacement with 22k miles. The wheel bearings, axles, and suspension system look and feel in excellent condition. The driveshaft is quiet. It has a brand new water pump, starter, aluminum upgraded coolant lines. It also has new coolant, belts, transmission fluid and filter change, both front and rear differentials serviced, transfer case fluid changed, new engine air filters installed, all spark plugs replaced, new cabin air filter, oil and filter change. New spark plugs air filter etc. The tires are new. It has a new battery under warranty. The brakes are all in excellent condition. All the electrical gauges and interior electronics operate without problems. The catalytic converters function very well since it had no problems passing emissions or any of the associated check engine lights. I also recently did a compression and leak down test when I changed out he spark plugs of the engine and here is what I found:
Cylinder #1 178psi with 2% Leakdown
Cylinder #2 181psi with 1.5% Leakdown
Cylinder #3 177psi with 2% Leakdown
Cylinder #4 180psi with 1.5% Leakdown
Cylinder #5 178psi with 2% Leakdown
Cylinder #6 177psi with 2% Leakdown
Cylinder #7 177psi with 2% Leakdown
Cylinder #8 176psi with 2.5% Leakdown
Aside from the excellent compression and leakdown numbers, what really sets this 2003 Porsche Cayenne apart from many of the others you see is the low price and solid mechanical condition.
The Bad:
I just don't have the time to drive it like it should be driven. This may be the most capable SUV out of the box ever made and it doesn't deserve to sit in the garage. It needs to be driven by a person that will care for it and take it on vacation and other long drives. If has a few scrapes and dings, but is really a nice looking verhicle. It is not a concours car, but it is a solid driver.
Here is the copy of a recent PPI that a customer paid to have done for this car. He later was unable to arrange funding for the vehicle, but intended to purchase the car.
