MFX Posted 23July, 2015 Report Share Posted 23July, 2015 I think the Sport setting could be good, to stiffen it all up.But then again are the different setting noticeable in the real world?I have the sport option on the ML as well. For me at least, I don't really see the point in sport mode for an SUV. Maybe I suppose if I had to drive up an down Maquarie pass or similar road every day I might see it differently.

ANF Posted 23July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 23July, 2015 I'm the kind of guy that loves playing with things like that, however I'm also the (only?) guy that uses mine off road regularly. I bought the Cayenne BECAUSE it had PASM, and I use it almost daily. In fact, at the moment I do use it daily, because I drive over a raised median strip on my way out of work every day which would likely scrape if I did it on the low setting (yeah, I'm that guy too!)The different settings are certainly noticeable, and while I don't often play with the sport setting much it really wakes it up. Would I tick the big $$$$ option on a new car? Probably not. But for a used car where there doesn't seem to be much (if any) price difference between the two I'd probably look for one with it. Cool. I am the kind to press the Sport button and most likely leave it there! I have the sport option on the ML as well. For me at least, I don't really see the point in sport mode for an SUV. Maybe I suppose if I had to drive up an down Maquarie pass or similar road every day I might see it differently. Tassie is all twisting roads, so could come in handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need new wheels (not a fan of huge wheels on them), km are slightly high and it has grey interior. Yes I am being picky, but I feel that I can and should be - it has to be right Starting to think that I need to up my spend a bit...This one is high up there http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-Cayenne-2003/OAG-AD-2191558/?Cr=0 and has already been discounted after initial chat to dealer.The local Porsche dealer one is also piquing my interest, although would need a fairly low offer to secure.... http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/_/AGC-AD-17431465Both are low km and great colour combos, plus have PASM and other goodies. Main bonus on the local one is that I know exactly what it is like and what it drives like...This one looks stunning too! http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-3509358Wish there were more local to look at...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 26July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 26July, 2015 Earlier model and higher km for less $$$ http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/toowoomba-4350/cars-vans-utes/2004-porsche-cayenne-wagon/1084498544 or higher km later model for less $$$ http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/_/SSE-AD-3281261 Or lower km late model for more $$$ (and one that I have actually seen!) http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/_/AGC-AD-17431465 ?????Bloody confusing the shite out of me......

SteveF Posted 27July, 2015 Report Share Posted 27July, 2015 I like the last one but what about this:http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-Cayenne-2004/OAG-AD-2696350/?Cr=12Similar km and nice colour too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 27July, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 27July, 2015 I like the last one but what about this:http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-Cayenne-2004/OAG-AD-2696350/?Cr=12Similar km and nice colour too.I have seen that one and has been high on my list. A close look at the pics though shows a missing fog light and seat control button, I know not much but why would you not fix such simple and cheap items?? Could be nothing or a leader into the condition of the car..... or am I reading too much into it??Car is at Meridian Prestige in Five Dock, any close by for a quick look?Edit:Scratch that, after a chat to the dealer no longer on the list.....

tazzieman Posted 5August, 2015 Report Share Posted 5August, 2015 Yes, but you do have the 'simple' 928.Still has a relay for every circuit and several km of wires and accessories.Quite happy to tackle any complex 928 if you have a problem that your man can't fix Most problems relate to old wiring , 1000s of heat cycles, humidity and of course maritime climates.I hope you have the plastic battery post cover in your engine bay protecting the 14 pin harness connector. Bad bad location , Mr Porsche.Even then - engine harness probably cooked but - straightforward rebuild for real man.So that's the story for many decades old cars. What's the excuse for these 5- 10 year old newbies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
