Offering family-hauling practicality with sports car performance and Porsche provenance, the first-generation Cayenne - along with the 986 Boxster - is often cited as being one of the vehicles that ‘saved’ Porsche, and the Turbo model in particular (as seen here) remains eminently desirable to this day, and really is fun for all the family!
Presented in excellent condition throughout both aesthetically and mechanically, this early Cayenne Turbo 4.5 has evidently lived a charmed life, and remains in such a condition that defies both its age and indicated mileage. If you’re in need of a family ‘bus’ that can still put a smile on your face when pressing on, this is just the ticket…
First registered in March 2004, this first-generation, gunmetal-over-black, pre-facelift example boasts a strong list of factory-fitted optional extras, including the following items:
19” Cayenne design wheels
Heated steering wheel
Coloured Porsche crest wheel caps
Memory seats
BOSE audio
Red brake callipers
TV Module (analog)
Smooth leather seats
Aluminium interior trim package
Front/rear anti-roll bar
In addition to the factory specification, the car benefits from an upgraded in-car entertainment system, boasting Android Auto / Apple CarPlay connectivity and an in-built reversing camera.
Looking back through the vehicle’s history, the service book is well-stamped with a mixture of Official Porsche Centre (OPC) and Porsche specialist stamps, with the most recent service taking place in 2017 at 69,016 miles, including a brake fluid change by Steve Bull specialist cars of Devizes, Wiltshire.
It should also be noted that this Cayenne’s MoT history is particularly impressive, largely comprising of clean passes with only one or two advisory items noted, along with two minor failures earlier on in its lifetime, simply for headlight aim and nails in tyres, suggesting that this example has been kept in good mechanical order throughout its lifetime.
On the inside, you’d be hard pushed to tell that this Cayenne Turbo is now knocking on the door of being 20 years old, such is its condition.
The smooth leather seats show only some light commensurate wear - most visible on the driver’s seat, naturally - and are all free of any rips, tears or damage to the covers.
Similarly, the headliner is taut and free from wear throughout, whilst the carpets are in an equally excellent condition.
Being particularly picky, there are some indentations / usage marks noted on the door cards and high-traffic areas, but this is to be expected from a vehicle of this age, and this level of wear is still significantly below what we’d expect to see at this mileage and age. There is also a small scuff/stain on the centre rear seat base.
It is also worth noting that all the original maintenance / emergency equipment remains with the vehicle, including the tire pressure hose.
All systems are working as Porsche intended, and the aftermarket infotainment system adds some modern connectivity to the cabin, making it ideal for long journeys or hands-free call making.
Some very, very light wear to bumpers and high-traffic areas
Matching new Michelin tyres
As per the cabin, the outside of this Cayenne Turbo 4.5 remains in excellent condition throughout, having evidently lived a charmed life and been taken good care of throughout its years.
The bodywork is free of any dents, scuffs or mis-aligned panels as far as we can see, and there is no known or recorded accident damage history for the vehicle.
Equally, the paintwork is in great shape throughout and still presents very well indeed, with only some light ‘ghost’ marks and scratches visible if you look super closely, though these may be remedied with a thorough DA / detailing of the paintwork.
Both headlights show some typical UV clouding/discolouration which plagued all Porsches of this era, though the nearside headlight is slightly worse. Again, this is nothing that can’t be remedied, and no mention of it was made on the recent MoT exam.
All four wheels - with matching nearly-new Michelin tyres, no less - are in great shape, with only a few minor marks visible and no sign of any major kerb rash or damage.
Under the bonnet, the 4.5-litre engine looks to be in good visual health, though we’ll concede that the view is somewhat impaired by the various plastic ‘dress up’ covers fitted to the bay. Still, the intakes and the areas we can see all look to be in good order.
The vendor reports that the car drives without fault, issue or any unruly behaviour, and the noise and performance are exactly what you’d expect from a ‘Turbo’ badged Porsche.
Recently, the car has benefitted from attention to the braking system, with a new servo, vacuum pump and nearside rear ABS sensor being fitted.
The most recent MoT exam - dated 25 March 2022 - shows a clean first-time pass with no advisory items at 73,838 miles.
Presented in fantastic condition throughout, considerately upgraded and with a strong factory specification and colour combination, this is a wonderful example of a first-generation, pre-facelift Cayenne Turbo that is ready to be put to use as a fun-filled family runabout, or as the ideal practical GT car for weekend getaways.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
