Buying a USED Porsche Cayenne? Here's what you need to know

[@robertallen5210]

Your pricing information is misleading. You indicated that the base 2019 Cayenne listed for about $67k. No Cayenne was sold for that price or even near that price range. The range and pricing of available optional equipment was extensive so the pricing of these vehicles can vary greatly. That should have been stressed. My base 2019 Cayenne listed for over $100k.

That is super helpful. Thanks!

[@robertallen5210]

The segment on "Problems and Issues" is just largely absent of any real factual information (which is readily available via one of the good Porsche Cayenne forums like Rennlist.) You could have at least conveyed that Porsche has acknowledged issues with the transfer cases of these vehicles and actually extended the warranty on them for 7 years.

What is tapping sound and what causes it? Wish this was explained better.

[@airbourne2]

Too many settings for me thanks. Feels like I'd be paying for features I don't need.

[@bitorks]

If you think those features are too much, you are stuck back in 2000s

Thanks for the video! Avoid 2011-2018 Cayennes that are out of warranty. Massive amounts of transfer case failures that Porsche will cover, but only under warranty. FYI Porsche has been sued over it and they have extended the warranty for some MY 10 years and other MY's 8 years. So a 2014 Cayenne is out of warranty this year, depending on its exact build month etc could already be out of warranty. The warranty repair is free of charge. It's a $4500 repair and they fail. A LOT. Also - don't buy a German car unless you want an unreliable, overpriced vehicle. :) The concept of reliable german cars dates to the 1980s to early 90s diesel motors that never died. That's a long time ago though and I can say with direct experience that most german brands are of poor reliability. Ironically, Porsche makes just about bulletproof engines in a lot of models, but it's other things that fail.

Thanks for the comment! Some solid advice there 👍

I doubt you’ve owned a cayenne 😅

@@Imtheheman321 I own a 2008, with no transfer case problems. I owned a 2014 and dumped it after the 2nd transfer case failure.

[@Imtheheman321]

@@morecowbell235 so the newer ones don’t have these issues. Say 2020 and up?

[@morecowbell235]

@@Imtheheman321 There is a LOT of info out there on this transfer case problem and of Porsche being sued for it. Seems that most effected years are 2015-2018, but complaints go back to 2011. Porsche made some slight change to the case that they are replacing with, but that fails too. I don't have data on newer Cayennes (2019- now), specifically. I sold my 2014 in 2017 after 2 transfer failures. 2010 and earlier Cayenne's don't seem to have this problem, which is one reason why I still have a 2008 Cayenne. :P
