How to Buy a New Porsche Cayenne

Driving a Porsche is a dream come true for some car enthusiasts. If you're in the market for a Porsche Cayenne, you're not alone. The Cayenne is a midsize, German-made sport utility vehicle and is quite popular because of its size, driving ability, safety and efficiency. Use the following information to guide you in your quest to buy a new Porsche Cayenne.

Instructions

1. Be an informed consumer buyer. Before you even leave your house to drive to the Porsche dealership, do some research to learn as much as you can about the various models of the Cayenne available.

2. Shop the dealerships, talk to sales persons and get your quotes in writing if you're serious about a particular vehicle. Go back home, think it over, call other dealerships and check online to make sure that you're getting the best deal. Don't forget the test drive as you want to "feel" the vehicle to make sure that it's everything you believe it to be.

3. Buy a standard Cayenne with a V6 engine. This is the starting point for the Porsche Cayenne models. This vehicle also has AWD (all-wheel drive), manual transmission and 290 HP.

4. Move up a bit in performance by purchasing the Porsche Cayenne S. Again, this vehicle has AWD, an automatic transmission and a V8 engine giving 385 of HP.

5. Take your Porsche Cayenne purchase up a notch with the Porsche Cayenne GTS. This base model includes a manual transmission, a V8 engine, 405 of HP and, of course, AWD.

6. Turn up the throttle by purchasing a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Along with the fabulous styling of this vehicle, you get automatic transmission, AWD, a V8T engine and 500 of HP at the beginning price point for the Cayenne Turbo. The more added features you have, the higher your final price tag will go.

7. Determine your reasons for wanting to own a Porsche Cayenne. If you want the vehicle for safety and general style, you can go with the base model on the lower range of the price scale. If your wants in a vehicle are for performance and speed, you'll need to plan on spending more as your model will be the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, which is highest end of the Cayenne models price scale.
