Local dealer has one with 62k mi and I'm wondering if it's worth the cheese to go from an 04 Turbo to it or wait a year and get an 09.

Hard decision. The extra power and newer PCM is nice, also an upgraded interior. Handles a little better. '09 has pretty much all of that and more, but of course more money.

Would like better handling but isn't an 09 a completely different animal AND better? My 04 has literally everything in it. Not as nimble as I'd prefer and the NAV is fine but I just wanna drive it with the PASM off in Sport setting all the time.

You guys gotta help me out here. What's the biggest advantage to the 06 rather than a Gen 2 next year? I already have a Turbo and if I could make it idle smoothly I'd not even consider the S yet. My car is mint but has 108k mi. Not that it is an issue......

Most reviews of the newer Gen Cayenne said most everything was improved as expected over the older Generation so if the price differences your looking at aren't too great go ahead and go with the 2009. You can still chip it for around 550bhp.

If you're going to upgrade, then you should get a gen II Cayanne. I'd worry that the '06 wouldn't be enough of an upgrade for you compared to the '04.

Precisely what I was debating. I just have never been in an 06.

A neighbor has a cinnamon Turbo S 06 and it sounds WICKED.

Going to keep my $10k.

Is there any concensus on what exhaust to use on the Cayenne Turbo's? Mine is a '06 Turbo S and I have installed the Fabspeed Secondary Cat Bypasses and it does sound slightly better but I'm sure a change in the Main mufflers or Resonators would improve it more.
