So true. Prob the best way to get it right. I saw a 2011 Cayenne TT with 40K miles, Black that just got back from DD, it was amazing. Looked better than any new one.

Congrats welcome to the family...

Congrats. I really like the Sapphire Black color but agree with others keeping it dust free for longer than 24hours is a huge challenge.

So we ended up passing on the car. After not taking delivery last week due to the paint not being in great condition and the large door ding/dent on the drive side, my wife and I went away for the weekend. We took the Panny GTS and quite frankly the Panny is a great car and the current buyout on the lease is only 86K. Yes, M6 faster, but we have had the Panny 2 years and we know the history.

Something didn't feel right with this M6. Yes the deal was great but this car has been sitting for over a year and there was also a wind noise from the driver window that was not corrected after the first request. They did try. Not sure if this is a GC thing due to frame-less windows but it was still there. Also, this car will be driven by my wife a lot, even in winter and had second thoughts on the RWD for her.

So, no M6 GC for us. Great car, fast as heck.... didn't feel right.

Too good to be true, if the car has been seated for so long must have an issue. In the other hand if you are going to have a lot of winter driving it is obvious the M6 is not for you.

Sorry to hear it... but glad you're happy with the Panny. Not a bad alternative at all
