I am so psyched! I literally bought a 2007 with 80000km on the clock yesterday and then this video comes out and proves I made the right decision. Also mine was 5% of the original price here in Malaysia thanks to heavy taxes. I got one with regular suspension because 15 years later the price of a new set of air suspension from Porsche costs more than the car, it's very likely to break soon and recons or Chinese will also break within 6 months.

I do all my own maintenance, having a good tool box and access to KZbin. These trucks are easy to service, built very well, and aside from more complex repairs like coolant tubes in the 955 generation, are not difficult to figure out. I have other cars including an 09 911 Turbo , a 78, an 80 and an 86 Mercedes. All are light on technology, very well made, and easily maintained and repaired.

I love my '15 Cayenne SEH, just about to hit 100k miles and my total repair expense (not counting regular maintenance/ consumables) is $0.13 for a resistor for a failed pedestrian alert speaker. Also the flex discs on the driveshaft were replaced as part of a TSB under previous ownership. I am of the opinion that Cayennes are the most complete car on the market (did you know they tow 7,700 lbs, more than any other SUV or small truck, a tacoma is only good for 6,800 for context). Also a correction to a misconception, the cayennes have actually become even more capable offroaders with each generation, its just that with the 958 gen they switched from a manual two speed transfer case to an automatic torque vectoring one. Find me another car capable of swallowing the whole family plus luggage for a two week vacation that has the NVH of an S class, handles like a sports sedan, has real steering feel, does 60 in under 5, is as reliable as a Toyota, can tow a large boat, and has the fit and finish of a Porsche. Also my SEH is returning ~31-32 mpg lifetime average. The V8 in the new S is the ea825 btw, flash tune gives you 725 hp, add an intake and intercoolers and its good for 830, and with tte1020 hybrid turbos it can make 930 hp pump gas without other mods, total cost of about $9k installed including intercoolers intake and tune.

I would love to see you guys do old Chevy suburban vs new suburban

[@damilolaakanni]

2023 Surburban Vs the cheapest Suburban you can buy...sounds like a great idea. I just wonder what year they'll pick for the old one.

[@JasonRymell]

Great video!! I just bought a one owner 2005 base model with 6sp manual with 126k miles from a family friend in August for dirt cheap because trade-in values tanked and they literally parked it in 2017. With a bunch of personal repair labor and parts that aren’t super expensive I have it back on the road as of October. Being a shared platform with the Q7 and Touareg, there is an abundance of aftermarket support for the older ones AND Porsche announced the 955 & 957 are a part of Porsche Classic program.

[@mojojojo_BB]

That 2009 might cost 10K, but it definitely needs another 10-20K in repairs.

[@hyper_channel]

Yeah, you are right but still, even if it is a pain in the ass and cost 50K to own it for 8 years you are still ahead by quite a lot

[@rahulmandala4930]

The maintenance costs are overblown on these. Yeah, I could see the outrageous maintenance costs if the work was done entirely at a stealership--sorry--dealership. However, the case would be another completely different story if whatever maintenance jobs or repairs were taken care of at a quality independent mechanic shop. This particular example notwithstanding, the Cayennes of this generation are pretty reliable. The 4.5 V8 is a Porsche design with some weaknesses, but the V6 (VR6) is the ideal engine for longevity as it makes decent power, sounds great, and is a proven engine overall. Even the V8s aren't bad in the long term once the initial quirks have been solved.

You might be right, its a gamble. I looked it up for fun and its currently sold certified , again shocking for 2009

[@rahulmandala4930]

Awesome work as always! I will say that regarding the clinical feel of the Cayennes and how they’ve remained to that, you guys need to test a 957/958 generation GTS, these have so much character and excitement in them! They go like stink and handle beautifully!

[@morjeme8948]

I just wondering when in 2044 someone compare this old 2024 Cayenne with the new one and like "LOL THEY HAD THAT ANCIEND USB TYPE C AND EMI ENDUCTION WIRELESS CHARGING LOL THATS DINOSAUR TECHNOLOGY!!11"

[@christopherignacio7412]

Literally putting on facial moisturizer when James said his bit. WHY ARE YOU WATCHING ME

[@ahmedtan2003]

Still, I would get the X5 M. It's cheaper and looks much better internally, and the techs way better in 2024 model. Amazing video as usual ❤

[@rahulmandala4930]

No doubt the X5M is a beast at its price point, but this is the standard Cayenne S vs the full fledged X5M, so they’re different beasts from one another

[@reptilez13]

One of the only things less reliable than (some) Porsches lol

[@nik18p]

Cayenne handling is far better than X5M, in both comfort and sport settings.

[@snakeeyes9246]

The X5M competes with the Cayenne Turbo. The S is a bit below the X5 M50i

[@papa_pt]

​@@reptilez13good job showing your ignorance. Porsche and BMW have both been right near the top (along w Lexus) for luxury reliability ratings for at least the last 5 years Yeah the older cars are less reliable.

How much did u pay on maintance

[@trevormacdougall9385]

@@pbufh It began to add up things needed repair. Fuel pump was probably the most expensive repair.

[@pbufh]

@@trevormacdougall9385 ok just curious as I live in Canada and have seen some go for 10-12k but I always figured the maintance would be insane expensive on them since you're still paying to mainte a luxury vehicle.

[@trevormacdougall9385]

@@pbufh I also live in Canada. It’s not crazy expensive if you have a good indie shop. Oil changes etc are fine. It’s just they are getting on in age and eventually things need replacing. Genuine Porsche parts aren’t cheap. But overall they are solid trucks.

Extremely timely guys. I have been looking at Cayennes recently. 957 or 958.1 GTSs.

[@doug6191]

I can't afford a new one, so I can't afford a used one.

[@snakeeyes9246]

A 958 Cayenne is definitely a better buy than a 955 or 957.

[@TheDeadSnipe]

I’ve said it before but these guys are the best car show since top gear I haven’t seen anyone else even come close

[@FG-ul7dz]

They are literally identical

[@ronmckee9019]

Getting the older one so cheap does leave plenty of room to make a handful of repairs & some updates, changes or upgrades. So even if you find a nice clean one for $10-15k & dump another $5-10k you're in for $15-25k & then you likely have a really nice sorted Porsche. As all who've owned or driven any Porsche knows that any well sorted Porsche is an amazing piece of machinery & they are just on a whole other level than most others. Every Porsche makes you a fan over & over again.

[@Trapper50cal]

I was looking for one of these for my wife (the inexpensive ones) because she loves the look and they are easy to lift. One big issue is the headliners delam and fall down.

[@timbims]

No it’s not? Even if, it isn’t any more frequent than any other car that age.

[@Trapper50cal]

agree to disagree....I looked at a dozen and it had happened to varying degrees in ten of them. That frequency is not common to other cars its age. I also watched some repair videos specific to the Cayenne and they attributed it to faulty spray adhesive that degraded prematurely.@@timbims

[@mattabell3657]

The new vs old series is great. I purchased a 2007 911 Carrera 4 last month for under 40k US and it is a riot. My first Porsche and was cheaper than my Focus RS. There’s lots of value in a nicely maintained older car.

I have a 2012 vr6 6 speed with 119,000 miles . Sounds great and drives nice. Pretty pricey to maintain. My clutch has no slipping but the throw out bearing started squeeling 10k miles ago. Shame that i have to do a $4000 clutch job when it works fine (almost).

[@rahulmandala4930]

Try looking out for a quality independent mechanic shop that can take care of anything big. There’s no way a clutch job should cost $4,000. Considering the pricing, it sounds like you’re getting it serviced at a dealer and dealers love to price gouge. The part or parts that need replacing, labor charges, diagnosis, etc total up to dealers ripping people off.

These old/new series are great. A better condition old one that costs maybe $15-$20k would be sweet to daily through winter. I love how you can see the curb rash / plasti-dip peel even at speed lol
