Since they’ve become pretty affordable, I wouldn’t mind getting a well kept, lower mileage Cayenne S.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Are these somewhat reliable?

1. There are better SUV’s if you want an SUV and better depreciated Porsches if you want a depreciated Porsche(Looking at you Boxster)
2. Can’t fix ugly

If I remember correctly the 2006-2008 were not very good, engine issues and such, but the later 2008 and on we’re okay. I had a 2007 q7 with the vag 3.6l engine and it was a champ mostly. The early 3.6 engines had a terminal flaw with the oil pump bolt that would loosen over time and grenade the timing chain. But my q7 was in this period of at risk engines and it ran to over 140k without issue before we sold it off. The cayenne and the q7 are same platform and I believe same drivetrain if you are looking at the 3.6l v6 models. But it’s German, and it’s old, so by all frames of reference it is not considered reliable. But YMMV.
Arrivederci

The Cayenne is basically a Touareg, although the V8s are a Porsche design that seems to be much better thought-out than a VAG V8, AFAICT.
Touaregs are known for being horrifically unreliable, although some of that is because of the extreme cost of service. That can be mitigated if you can do as much as possible yourself, but they’re still not cheap at all to own, even then.

If you own an indy shop and have a mortgage/pool/cabin cruiser to pay for, yes, they are good.

I’ve read through the forums and there seems to be a couple well known issues that are fixable but otherwise they can be good if maintenance is followed by the book. I love them, but yeah I would have a nice budget for anything wrong that may arise.
A relative of mine had an 04 Cayenne S. One of the first ones in Mexico when they just came out, just last year he sold it and told us he only did it because he fancied something else. The car was pretty much perfect.

Reliable, not by anything I’ve ever heard. Comfortable, kind of cool looking, etc. etc. absolutely. The next time I find myself in the market for something silly, if I’ve escaped some of my student loans and suffered a traumatic head injury, I would totally consider it.

They’re super heavy, the new one lost like 700-800 lbs.

I went with a V8 Touareg (it’s an 05 I bought used in 2009), personally I think they are better looking than the first gen Cayenne, I like them better from 2011 on. And the VW was a lot, lot cheaper. Not sure exactly how many of the parts are the same, but I’ve not had the issues everyone talks about with the T-Reg, and I just rolled 100k.
Any 10+ year old German car will eventually need repairs, and they won’t be cheap when they happen. I know this because I own two, but doing as much of your own wrenching will help.
It’s a heavy truck, so get the V8/S model.

Know someone who had one either since new or like new used. They were really happy to be rid of it

I would only get a 2009 or 2010. Try to find one that has had the coolant pipe repair done (most have already). They also had a driveshaft problem. If you can find one that’s had both of those done, you’ll be ahead of the game.

They are reliable... compared to British cars from the 1970s... or a Hyundai from the 1980s... or Soviet-bloc cars from when the Soviet Union still existed.
I think it’s probably also more reliable than the original Chevrolet Vega was as well.
If you get one of these, I suggest you get one of the unicorn ones with the manual transmission... like this 2009 Porsche Cayenne GTS with 90,000 miles on it for $27,999
Edit: that original autotrader link doesn’t work because Autotrader continues to do fucked up things with links, use the link to it from the dealer’s webpage:
