For Sale: Would you take a gamble with a $7,000 Porsche Cayenne?

The Porsche Cayenne is an fascinating device. When it arrived, Porsche purists cried out that the model had missing its way. What they did not understand at the time although, is that the Cayenne was a revenue-printing equipment for the model. And so to unto that idea is the Macan currently. These Porsche SUVs have only gotten more rapidly and additional costly because the 1st 1 landed in 2003. It’s amusing to imagine that the one you see posted in this article initially experienced a foundation MSRP of around $56,000. Now, a Cayenne S starts off at just over $90,000. But the 2004 Porsche Cayenne S shown for sale on Craigslist sits with an asking price tag of $7,000.

These more mature Cayenne S versions attribute a 4.5-liter V8 engine beneath the hood. When new, these ended up good for 340 horsepower and over 300 lb-ft of torque. If you had plenty of room, the leading velocity on one of these is 150 miles for every hour.

I’m not declaring you want to do that in an more mature just one with 168,514 miles on the clock. But theoretically, you could. Which will make the $7,000 selling price of entry a way to somewhat cheap speed.

Were being it my truck however, I’d mod it for the trails. I’d in shape the smallest wheels I could to distinct the brakes and then some wonderful knobby tires. Following that, I’d search into suspension solutions and then head to my nearby trails to put some stripes on the paint.

Of system, all of that is a gamble on a automobile like this. Is it worthy of the $7,000 value to be part of the upsized Porsche celebration?
