point of story, when he was getting it, he saw some sort of newer jeep, and asked about it because it looked like a mess. Guy said it had frame damage, and they were already up to $22K on the tab, and climbing. Yeah, good luck ever selling that mess (and another reason to lease certain cars!)

price of being picky I guess. If this one falls through, he will probably just have them order one to arrive in January.

I had to fight both carriers to get reimbursed for the DV. FWIW, both insurance carriers were truly awful to deal with. I'd gladly pay a higher premium for better customer service.

I'm sure you know this already @qbrozen, but these 1st generation Cayennes are heavy vehicles. They eat through brakes & tires at quite a rapid pace. My customer who had one of this generation had to have the driveshaft replaced around 100K. He drove it to 190K and then traded it in for a CPO Cayenne diesel.

I also think the Turbos have an Air Suspension which might become an issue sooner rather than later. Shifty would know better than I would though.

In general terms, the Cayenne Turbo in 2008 was a pretty complex car, with active air suspension, twin turbos, etc, so naturally 8 years down the road you want to take a very close look at these systems. A PPI would be mandatory in such a purchase.

Clearly the $7,990 price includes a hefty premium for the buyer who just has to have one of these (and I suspect someone will pay it). My interest would go up at a price of $5-6k.

There's another example on eBay that only has 86k miles, but you'd never guess it from the pictures (rips in the drivers seat, noticeable dings and dents, etc.). I'd gladly take twice the miles if it was properly taken care of.

The GTI is back with me this morning while VW figures out what they want to do. They put about 300 miles worth of test drives on the car and confirmed the car is getting substandard fuel economy. Interestingly, the MFI is reading relatively normal fuel economy, but calculating it by hand (properly) reveals a different story.
At the end of the 300 miles of driving, the regional quality manager determined that the MFI display is the reliable source and not the manual calculation. He further determined that fuel economy can vary across 50-100 mile test drives for a number of reasons and that if something were wrong, the fuel trim would be off.
Basically, the quality manager is taking the stance that their computer is more accurate than calculating fuel economy by hand, and that the test drives are not representative for calculating performance of fuel economy. Really? Then why did you instruct them to drive that much? And, isn't it always the technicians and dealers that say you can never rely on the MFI?
I have a call into the corporate rep. From my conversation with the dealer, it sounds like neither they nor corporate are satisfied that this situation is resolved.
So there's a lot of nostalgia there for me on this CRX. But I do realize that once I got in the driver's seat, the reality and limitations of a 26 year old car would likely set in.

It's possible I'm not in the loop on this trend, but I'm not aware of any serious pressure in the market driving the price of this particular car upwards. My impression is that this car falls into the same realm as those old Mercedes 300 diesels. Yeah, they can bring decent money if they are super nice, but on the other hand, prices are pretty stable because everyone who wanted one, now pretty much has one.
I think the buyers for these modest Japanese "classic" cars are only willing to go so far--once it hits a certain ceiling, that's it. (notable exceptions---certain Supras, Toyota FJ40, NSX, '93 Mazda Twin Turbo, etc.
On the other hand, there are 79 "watchers" on the car, so there may be other brelds drooling over this.
I know it and the Touareg are related though I don't know how close they are on specific items. When I think of either, I recall a former co-worker who had the V-8 VW version. One day a headlight stopped working. Took it to his local garage, they replaced the bulb, no success. Took it to the dealer. According to him the wiring ran through the wheel wells and was exposed to whatever the tires kicked up. Needed a new harness, $2100 IIRC.

It'll be interesting to see if it goes at the buy it now price. Lots of folks are watching it but apparently no one is pulling the trigger, so you're probably right on that "ceiling."

I knew something was up when an older Boeing guy came up ta me with a real sullen look on his face to tell me what happened. I believe that young man had narcolepsy. Really deeply saddened me for a long, long time.

I'd then offer to give you a '17 in exchange for the '16.
Of course, I'm still mowing here in Houston, Texas. Not as often as a month ago, but still mowing.
