The Porsche Cayenne has become something of an overlanding icon in recent years with no shortage of inspiring builds online from the likes of Harrison Schoen, Samuel Garner, and Eurowise Inc. The desirability of this platform within the segment is hardly surprising since it boasts industry-leading German engineering and build quality, a plethora of impressive all-terrain attributes, and an exceptionally well-equipped interior. Further still, it can be specified with a powerful, yet relatively economical V6 turbo-diesel that returns up to 29 mpg (a refreshing alternative to the thirsty gas-powered V8s synonymous with luxury SUVs). So why don’t we see more of these rigs in the wild? The answer is simple: price. A new Cayenne will set you back the best part of $100,000, and this has meant that most examples are sentenced to mall crawling and domestic carriage. Fortunately, there are deals to be had on the preowned market, and to this end, cue today’s 2015 Porsche Cayenne (108,xxx miles). This community-member-owned and meticulously serviced offering is in excellent condition and boasts a huge list of factory specifications (including the optional $9,090 Premium Plus package), the desirable diesel motor, premium aftermarket modifications, and $20,000 in recent maintenance (see original listing for full details). This is a dreamy rig that’s been carefully modified to enhance backcountry performance without compromising the Cayenne’s legendary on-road comfort and handling. It’s the perfect option for someone looking for a do-it-all vehicle that’s both luxurious and practical for daily use, and a Teutonic adventurer on the weekends. At $38,000, it’s an impressive value when you consider that it cost almost $80,000 from the dealership, and is turnkey ready.
From the Seller:
“I built this Cayenne for spirited driving on surf runs up and down the coast, canyon passes between home and Malibu, and up to the Sierras for snowboarding and mountain biking at Mammoth. The diesel torque effortlessly climbs any hill, and the suspension and Porsche Power Steering Plus handle the curvy, winding roads with ease. I’ve carried my paddleboard on the roof rack, mountain bikes, and whatever gear the adventure called for. The condition is what sets this one apart: people think it’s brand new even though it’s 10 years old. Paint correction and ceramic coating were done 14 months ago, and it’s been detailed regularly since. The Eurowise 2-inch lift and Falken Wildpeak tires transform how it handles trails and snow while retaining excellent on-road manners. Nearly $20,000 in recent maintenance addressed all the major service items on the 3.0-liter TDI. I’m selling because I need a pickup truck for work. I’ll miss the performance, handling, and that diesel torque. This hits the sweet spot: luxury interior and sound system for long drives, capable for any adventure, and the reliability of a properly maintained TDI. Reach out with any questions or to schedule a call/viewing. Not interested in trades. More photos, Carfax, and records available on request.”
