I like this local ‘21 Cayenne GTS Coupe, but geez… it has already had four owners! https://www.harperporsche.com/certif...146ea76a44.htm

I test drove the above today and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I really do not care for white SUVs and realistically it is far more power than I need. I have a pretty severe leadfoot, so it would not be good for my driving record. I still find it odd that it has already had four local owners with 17,500 miles on it.

Cayenne is the only "coupe" SUV that actually looks good to me, especially the GT

Cool interior!

Agree on white SUVs (and I have one)

I was told that the seats, wheels, center exhaust, and carbon fiber roof were part of the lightweight package.

Edit: Per the window sticker the seats are not part of the lightweight package. I was also informed that it sold for over $140k to the 3rd or 4th owner.

I guess I should not be the one to say, I do not understand the concept of the coupe SUV, given that I drive a “Gran Coupe.” But my excuse is SUV-like utility in a sedan-like car with a lower center of gravity…

If I’m going to hoist the thing up (and I get that for highway driving), I want it to have more utility—room, hauling, etc., because I am sacrificing handling with the elevated center of gravity.

Agreed.

I have read on Rennlist that one will lose 23% interior volume with the Cayenne Coupe and to top it off it cost more.

BTW, This was the first time I have ever driven a Cayenne and I liked what I experienced. The EPS is significantly improved over anything BMW is currently putting out. The ride comfort on 22s with PASM was shockingly too.

Edit: I also greatly liked the 18 way adaptive sports seats.

Wow- looks like that interior was a no cost option. Surprising for Porsche. That's crazy that the 3rd owner paid over original sticker! I have seen some CPO porsches even today where the dealer is asking over original sticker (most recently saw this on a CPO taycan).

I have no idea what the market is like for these...on one hand 85% of original MSRP for a 2 year old car sounds steep, but compared to a similarly equipped new one maybe it makes more sense.

If you did decide to buy it, how much would you offer them?

They are not discounting and furthermore I do not intend to purchase it. I wanted to get a feel for a Cayenne with 22s and PASM. PASM will be standard for all the face-lifted Cayennes for MY24.
