How bidding works
All you need to know about the bidding process on Car & Classic
2004 Porsche Cayenne S 4.5
Highlights
- Just one former keeper, in current hands since May 2013
- Advisory-free MOT valid until 8th June 2024
- Just 64,862 miles
- Desirable V8 ‘S’ model producing 335 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque out of the box
- Very well presented inside and out
- Rare Super Low Road Tax Band unlike the Post 2006 Cayenne
The Appeal
For the likes of Porsche, the rapid rise of the ‘SUV’ during the early noughties must have been worrying at first. How does a sports car manufacturer satisfy the demand for a big, family off-roader without compromising their brand values? The Cayenne was a masterstroke, in that it both fulfilled buyers’ needs and boasted the sort of driving dynamics Porsche clientele were accustomed to.
This 2004 example remains in fantastic condition for its age, thanks to low mileage and long-term ownership of just two keepers during the past two decades. Beautifully presented throughout, and offered with a valid, advisory-free MOT, this Porsche is ready to impress its next custodian.
This Cayenne is a top of the range model where it boasts an ultra rare spec of leather door cards, leather door handles, leather dashboard and hand stitched leather cockpit. This Cayenne is unlike the cheaper super plastic trims. It literally is dripping in leather except the headlining.
