How to Use the Checklist
- Bring a flashlight and a small mirror to inspect hard-to-see areas.
- Test-drive the car to evaluate engine performance, shifting, steering, and braking.
- Take notes and photos of any concerns to review later.
- Ask for maintenance records, focusing on all scheduled maintenance being complete.
- If anything is unclear, get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) from a Porsche specialist.
A well-maintained older Porsche Cayenne is a rewarding SUV, but neglected examples can quickly become money pits. Use this checklist to spot potential red flags and ensure you’re getting a solid example. More recent Cayenne examples have less issues but aren’t totally void of problems, so still make sure you do your homework.
