Looking to buy a Cayenne S or Turbo - what to look for?

artandscience · 2013-05-31T19:35:20+0000

Hey guys, Just sold my Boxster S and want to buy a Cayenne S or Turbo to replace it. Thought I would ask your collective wisdom on: 1) What to look out for with the Turbos - I understand the coolant pipes under the intake manifold need to be replaced if they haven't been done already. Anything else? 2) I've seen quite a few S models in the 2004-2006 vintage. Price is attractive (under $25k). But some have mileage over 100k. Is that something I need to worry about on these motors if they have good records? I'm not buying anything without having my mechanic give her the once over and I'll require very solid records and good tires. What questions am i not asking or what do I not know that will bite me? best, Stefan Seattle, WA
