Well I pulled the trigger tonight, got a fair trade in deal from the enormous dodge/jeep/etc dealer here in jacksonville.

Here are some pictures of the Cayenne Turbo, pictures of the Jeep to come hopefully after some tint, suede interior and maybe some 22s :)

If anyone needs some 22s for a Cayenne, mine are up for sale and for cheap (2000 miles on them).

Is that at the lowest ride height, or did you lower it some?

And...as a photographer...nice shots! Great lighting and framing!!!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I go through cars pretty quickly and just got bored with the Cayenne. I will miss the presence the Cayenne has, but the Jeep to me is very similar without fancy wrapping paper. Also this will free up a good amount of money to buy a second 'weekend' car which I haven't had since the Cayenne.

I had a S/C'd g35 before the cayenne, 350z's are nice.

You mean you couldn't just drive the Cyanne over to Stage-6 for a turbo upgrade?

pfffffffftttttt!!!! hahahahahahahhahahah!!!!!!

The JGC is a great vehicle, but its a "most bang for the buck" car, a properly modded turbo porsche owns it bigtime.

What part of Jax are you from.

I had always thought what would happen when if one was to trade a car in for something worth about half as much. I just cant imagine walking out of a dealer with a car and cash, instead of paying.

If you dont mind me asking, how did this deal play out. did you drive in with the cayenne and walk out with a jeep and cash.

The Cayenne is a pig though, weighing in at 6200lbs, plus my fatass, really slows it down. I had an ECU reflash and was a step away from bypass pipes, DVs and intakes but decided it really wasn't worth the extra $2500 to still be slow off the line. Sometime in my near future I will own another Cayenne and it will be of the GT700 variety!

I live in Ponte Vedra.

Deal wasn't bad, could have been better, could have been much worse. I have been trying to sell the Cayenne privately for a month+ and decided to take a hit to get into a more practical daily driver. Like I said, I am also freeing up cash to get into a weekend vehicle, maybe a 911tt or FI'd M3..

And a properly modded SRT8 (ASM anyone?) will own a properly modded cayenne big time. Such is the advantage of less weight and more cubes.

Yes, but since we're talking about Stuttgart, it was a metric hammer!:D

That Cayenne was beautiful, but lucky for my the girlfriend pays for our Cayenne (she makes more than I do) and I pay for the Jeep and we share the SL550 for:confused: , uhhh babe why do we have the SL:rolleyes:

they are victor equipment wheels, a company that makes porsche aftermarket stuff.

I do need to move the wheels, they are in perfect condition, 2000 miles on them and asking $3200 shipped w/ tires.

The cayenne is beautiful. I was going to get the turbo but decided that was too much $$$ for a daily driver. I drive around town most of the day so buying a porche would have not been a smart idea.
