Stable mate

[FSHNGRY]

Picked up a family hauler/birthday gift for my Wife, and finally had a free moment to snap some quick pics. I had a nice elaborate plan set in place for the delivery of the car, but unfortunately we were blindsided by an emergency trip to the ER which turned into 72 hours of tests, and aggravation. COVID protocols only allow for 1 parent to be in the hospital at all times, so the wife took the lead.

As many of you Dad's know, when your family is not near you while going through a situation such as a hospital stay- your mind DOES NOT STOP. Sleeping was not in the cards, so to keep myself occupied I took the time to clay bar and apply Adam's Ceramic coating to the fresh Blk paint.

2020 Cayenne AWD
3.0L V6 Turbo (340 hp)
Premium Package Plus
Jet Black Metallic
STD interior Blk/Mojave
P. Crest on headrests
21" RS Spyder wheels
Blk window trim
LED-Matrix headlights
4 zone climate control


MSRP: $84K
Got it for : $75k

Got 74k Ended up leasing, $2500 down (fees/payment/transfers), 10% off, .002 MF, 59% residual $990 a month for 36 months- first 2 service visits free.

Tint:
50% Winshield
20% front 2 windows
15% ON TOP of the privacy glass for rear and trunk windows.


Couldn't be happier with it. I will say that the "base" Cayenne is VERY impressive compared to a base x5. The Q8 was almost $350 more monthly. My M4 is paid for, and now we added this to the line up. Whenever we finish our home renovation money pit- a Sedan for me is next.

The M5 LCI now has some major competition after seeing what Porsche has to offer both with incentives, builds, options and overall bang for the buck.

I was picking between this, and a similarly optioned Chalk White model. But the Chalk did not have the Matrix-LED headlights, and the black plastic trim on the base model didn't look "right" with chalk. Had it been a GTS or Turbo, that would've been a no brainer.

The massive touch screen display, and technology are stunning. A tad nerve racking that I don't know anything about Porsches interface.

I've had a few X5's as loaner cars in the last year. My wife was not crazy about them. Her mother just got the X5 40iM (or however it has been badged) and she has had issues galore with it. Back and forth to the dealer. Her experience has tainted the X5 option. I'm a diehard BMW guy, so I would've completely ignored "deals" and gone for a loaded X5 which would've been much more expensive.

I've always loved Porsche. Iconic brand, epic cars. One of my customers is a vet salesman with Champion Porsche and gave me a deal I would've been stupid to refuse.

The Cayenne is great. I love how easy it is to drive, lots of technology and very user friendly so far. I do wish that I could've gotten a GTS (when they arrive) or a used C. Turbo, which was behind me at the desk in the showroom. The airride suspension is an option I would've killed for. But overall, VERY happy.

COVID taught a very valuable lesson; when leasing, or adding payments to your life- make sure you can pay them for up to a year if there is no income. Hence why this was the all around best deal.

Great combo of cars.

Ask and you shall receive! I've been driving the Cayenne just about day and night since I brought it home. My M4 is paid for and crisp, so no sense in letting it sit in the sun all day long while I'm at work.

I must say, having the 4 doors, and the ease of and SUV to drive over speed bumps, and load anything I want into the back is SO nice. I think my favorite option thus far on the Cayenne are the ventilated seats... HOLY. MOTHER. OF. GOD.

By far the best and coldest seats I've experienced. No plans on anything other then some detail touches for the Cayenne because it is a lease. I ordered and put in all weather matts (front and rear) and a trunk matt. Even though both arrived from Porsche, the trunk matt has terrible fitment, and very cheap texture. A license plate frame and maybe some paint to match reflector inserts will be the extent of it. I'll be exercising the lease trade in option next year for a GTS- that I can say for certain. Enjoy! Happy to answer all questions
