The nice thing about these videos is that the normal working man can recognize themselves in them. You buy the cars that we all secretly want to buy, but often don't dare to take the risk. I've been following you since the Z4 and these videos about (older) cars remain the most fun and appealing. Greetings from the Netherlands (Oh and ofcourse I like the Porsche)

[@itsjoel]

That’s exactly what I intend to keep doing!

[@farran5692]

Hahaha, Your story is pretty similar to mine's. I bought a Touareg 3.2 in a perfect condition, 80K miles on it. Love this car (except for its thirsty), spacious (two kids), good traveler and it gives you the possibility of off roading if you like it. I hope you enjoy that Cayenne. Good luck!

That's a cracking looking bit of kit. Far better in silver than the usual black too. A coil sprung V6 is likely to be a far easier thing to own than a V8/turbo too. Nice, looks like the perfect car to do a trip to the Alps video with ... Harry's Garage style. Looking forward to more content with this one!

[@Richy0We]

I had my 2005 v6 for nearly 1 year now. It’s been an absolute blast to own so far and I love it so much. The v6 makes me less worried for large garage bills. It’s not super fast but at the end of the day it’s not made for speed anyway. I hope you enjoy yours Joel.

[@sudorelabs4901]

Great video. Big hello from Levi Dance (Poetic Propulsion) loved this review. Those bose systems are fab... very much under rated! In my opinion, got one in my 2013 infiniti 4x4 and love it. I had the pleasure in riding in Jayemms Porsche Cayenne and think I might go that way next after the infiniti. Keep up the grand work Joel. 👏

[@JJonCars]

Fully behind the silver, looks fantastic. The dark colours end up looking ropey so easily. As with many weird cars of that era, its grown on me and I quite like them now. Enjoy :) Oh and that V6 sounds mint

[@vinimaguire8109]

You look perfectly suited for this motor Joel. At the end of the day your keeping a beautiful example of an iconic car on the road being used daily for what it was designed for . I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the future does not hold any expensive surprises when it ends up in the mechanics bay.

[@stef1833]

He made a safe bet. As a former Porsche sales agent I would always advise the 3.2 or 3.6 with steel springs to people who wanted to drive one on a budget. Less complicated parts te break or replace, cheaper maintenance bills long term. Lovely car, but just love the facelift more because of the headlights.

[@craigodonnell6316]

Owned two over the last few years. A 4.5s to begin with and a 3.2 afterwards. Loved both. The V8 was sweet, the 3.2 surprising in its delivery and road manners. I'll definitely have another. Enjoy!

[@Spartansrule118]

reliable?

[@craigodonnell6316]

@@Spartansrule118 Very, but you need to keep up the maintenance and on the V8 do some work on the coolant system (replace the plastic pipes with the metal aftermarket kit).

[@jonnygti]

Looks awesome mate, I think it’s any car enthusiasts dream to have a car with a Porsche badge on the bonnet😎 It looks like you’ve got a great example there, I think silver suits the Cayenne, it’s a classy colour, for a classy car. I’ve had silver cars for the last 10 years, they look lovely in the summer time when cleaned and polished up, and in the winter time they hide the dirt well! And any scratches etc are invisible unless you get close up. If the garage health check goes well, I would look at sorting the things like the rear wiper etc, and get a full detail done on it, those scratches at the top of the doors will polish out, and get the wheels refurbed, I saw a few bits of damage. Overall cracking car that looks the part, sounds the part, and as a bonus it’s practical aswell. Hopefully you have good luck with this car, from what I can see, and what you’ve said, everything is pointing towards it being a good example 👍🏻

[@Dino-qq2jp]

Oh Joel!!! Love the channel mate - been watching for absolutely years. Love any old Porsche myself. Enjoy that car and I look forward to your content with it :)

Great purchase Joel! I’m driving a 2008 4.8s. Really love it! Have the same feeling for it!😊

[@benparker2734]

I think you can really modernise a car with a few little touches. I had an 09 golf having stepped down from a brand new lease Astra and the aftermarket head unit with CarPlay just didn’t make it seem like it was a much older car (although it was). I think executed correctly it can really enhance an old car.

[@wackojacko123]

Ben speaks the truth m8

[@itsjoel]

Agree!

[@markburns2545]

Yes brov, you did super well 👏....for an old bus 🚌..it's actually OK 👍.....Nice daily.....respect....

[@deaks25]

I've always thought replacement infotainment units are a good idea. Sure, cheap ones can be hot garbage, but a decent one can give a car from the 00's/10's all the mod-cons you find in a brand new car. And it's relative easy to find model-specific ones. I generally think car design peaked in that 15 year period in terms of styling and so being able to add that modern convenience is just a win all round. And sometimes that common colour/engine combo you'd normally avoid can be the most novel one to buy. And a basic, well maintained car is going to be more enjoyable than a more special version that's got tons of deferred and late maintenance, so hopefully the Cayenne will scratch that itch nicely for you.

[@robgraham9234]

Style wise car design peaked in the 60s/70s.

[@teresadrake3659]

Congratulations!! Mine is the same color, 2006 3.2 V6. I also wants to update the OEM radio with a new one like yours. Do you know what brand is it? Regards.

[@frankkink749]

Owned a 2004 Cayenne S for 10 years and purchased in 2012 for $10,000 in the 10 years of ownership I spent $ 14,000 in repairs and put approximately 96,000 miles on it and had 145,000 miles on the clock. You will have to replace the gas struts for the rear gate every 3 years, the drive shaft will need to be repaired every 60,000 miles - headlights also a problem. Water pump and valve cover gaskets everything seems to go after 10 to 12 years. Not bad to work on would advise getting a Durametric diagnostic unit if you plan on doing all your own repairs. Loved the vehicle just not the parts cost.

[@paulmannering3831]

[@robswanson1040]

You're brave mate, good luck! To be fair, the shape has grown on me a bit since they were launched, but there's a reason you can get them cheap... I'll take a ball park swing at £2k to put everything right when it goes to the specialist. Should make interesting content for your channel though, be good to see you getting on the spanners again like the Volvo.

[@andypicken7848]

[@itsjoel]

Agree. Quad exhausts look so mean. I would go far as saying the early cayennes look beautiful now. Certainly wouldn’t have said that even 5 years ago!

[@lawrencehooper4341]

I'd love to see the long term report on this V6 and then perhaps the same on a V8 version of the same age at a later date. This is a car i used to dislike and now i would quite fancy owning, if the repair costs are not too scary. I dont mind high fuel costs as that is predictable. Its the mechanical and electical "surprises" that frighten me. I would really like to try one of these and look forward to future reviews. Good luck with it Joel and hope you arent in too much pain from 24 hours in the XC90. Merry Crimbo / happy New Year

[@raymondfacey6823]

Great video Joel, I can relate to the ride quality issue, I had a 2018 3.0 Diesel (Platinum Edition) on 21 inch wheels, looked great but ride was poor (with hindsight my fault as I think the one I test drove had air suspension and ride was fine). Handed it back after 3 years when PCP balloon payment was due and whatever I buy now will have 19 inch wheels at most. Good luck with the ownership experience.

[@BrianWalker-w7o]

Looks good Joel, I'm pleased you got what you wanted. I'm quite confident it will be more reliable than Range rover L322. I've had 5 VW Touaregs for towing caravans, and never been let down once. They're made on the same production line as your Cayenne and share many parts. I'm sure you won't regret it. They are extremely well built. Enjoy Mate.

Its great that the insurance is so reasonable at £750 for what is a big old beast. Looks great and a little different too. Not many of these around now. Low insurance will help cover the high fuel costs. Hopefully it will be reliable. Cant believe no heated seats though. Criminal. Good luck with it

[@NorthWalesPiscator]

Cracking Porker that Joel. It looks great in the silver. Your gearbox may need a service to get it working properly. Looking forward to the up coming content. Is a trip down to Bavaria possible? It’s stunning down there, highly recommended

[@garsimmulholland4984]

They’re great….you hopefully already have the prop shaft done at that age. The rear struts in the boot will go, window regulators go on all vow/Porsche. Use a heavy duty battery. Keep a few abs sensors in case!, but a good buy tough and reliable.

[@adriaanserrao2016]

You could have gotten the same engine in your TT. This is technically a VR6. VW calles it a v6 in Porsches, and has called it a v6 in the last fer years.

[@jonathanbaker4238]

They aren't struts on the Cayenne and the damped hinges are quite pricey and labour intensive to replace, so people tend to just live with it or carry round a stick of wood (Last resort). No Air suspension is a good thing as its less to go wrong. Don't be surprised if they have bypassed the Bose system all together.

[@Billythebubble]

I love it! Get that handbrake fixed, every time you use park as a brake you are damaging your transmission. Also, hard ride contributed by 20” wheels and lack of tyre taking absorption. Air suspension costs a fortune to fix and bursts airbags or blows compressors.

[@paulstansfield8693]

Owned two, both the 4.5S. Great car’s, not as expensive as you may think, to maintain, but I guess you’re about to find out. Looking forward to your experience.

Ok. So you’ve bought a Cayenne. Good start but you definitely should have gone for a V8. As late a year as possible (06 I think) as it would have had loads more options. I had an early V8 a few years ago and loved it. Things to watch for- wet front carpets which will be blocked drains behind the wheel arch liners. Propshaft centre bearing. Feeble air vents on the dash and rear console. Window regulators. The mpg will always be circa 18-20mpg in the V6 whereas my V8 would never go over 14mpg. I daily drive an E53 V8 which is fully loaded and I often search for another Cayenne to have as well but they are tricky to find with all the same gadgets. Look forward to the future vlogs though.
