As a 2016 Cayenne Base owner I can say that although we love the car, it has been the most expensive we've ever owned. Bought used in 2018 with only 15K on it and here we are just over four years later and we only put 12K on it. Oil changes are expensive. $700 at the dealer and $375 at our go to German auto clinic. I've started doing them myself to save a few bucks and knowing it's done right is a big deal to me. Recently, we had the notorious transfer case issue. Changed the fluid ($800) and that helped but I'm going to be taking it to the dealer before the extended transfer case warranty expires. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't. Honestly, you are just buying a status symbol. If we were talking 911 or similar, that's a whole different genre. The Cayenne is just another SUV. Granted a refined, wonderful to drive SUV but still, an SUV. I guarantee you can get a much superior vehicle for the same money. We had a 2015 Ford Edge Sport and was a much more reliable and far less expensive vehicle to maintain. Our local Ford dealer charged us $50 or less for inspection, oil change and tire rotation. Never had one issue with it. As nice as the Cayenne? No, but it got us to where we needed to go and it was nice. We sold the Edge 6 months ago for $21k. The Cayenne with 27k miles is currently worth $32k and is in showroom condition. MSRP was $81k. We bought the Edge new for $41k. 50% depreciation for the Edge versus 60% for the Cayenne for the same number of years. My recommendation is look for something else and to wait. Prices are dropping significantly and right now, unless you get a killer deal, is still not a good time. Check out "Your Advocate Alliance" on You Tube for current market conditions. I have no affiliation with them but they do offer good insights on the car market. Good luck to you and let us know what you end up doing.
