This 2021 Cayenne Turbo will be my fifth Cayenne Turbo (CT) and the fourth 9Y0 in my life, starting with a 2004 CT purchased in 2003.. (Don't ask why so many...I'm just impulsive.)
Midnight Blue Metallic with chalk and dark-gray interior and among many other good things, 18-way, ventilated front seats.. Unfortunately for me, it has 22" tires and wheels, but I just happen to have a set of Exclusive Design (with gloss-black contrasts) wheels waiting for a new set of tires, so that little problem will be solved.. Found it in Santa Barbara, CA, and drove there from Phoenix yesterday to deliver my trade-in, an 2024 Ford Bronco Raptor.. The dealer will have the CT shipped to me; it should arrive next week.. I'm saving about $4K, net, in salestaxes from CA's 9.25% on gross price to AZ's 9.1% on net-of-trade-in price..
The car is VERY-well cared for with perfect-looking paint and interior.. I'm REALLY looking forward to be a Porschist again.. Pics next week.

Awesome, looking forward to the pictures. What's wrong with 22" wheels? Too small? I shipped a mode dial cover to phoenix last week, and the commercially-made plastic container I ship it in literally melted. Same plastic as water bottles, etc. I hope your new CT has great A/C!!

Haven't done it yet but I plan to replace all fluids in my Cayenne tomorrow,
lots of work for an old guy but should be fairly fairly easy. I'll report back once the work is done.

I did the transmission fluidcand filter changevtoday, along with an oil change. I tan out of time and steam for the diff and transfer case, they will wait until another day. The front 3 bolts on the transmission pan are really tough, I spent almost an hour all told getting them off and back on. My Launch 919x wouldn't let me access the temp reading so I had to spitball the fluid level. I must have gotten close because it drives normally. I would have paid a shop to do this job but no local one would. I'm glad it's finished.

Budget overland build to come. Don't want to spend too much since I have 290k miles and now it has been totaled for the second time.
Angeles Crest Highway ... with LOTS of other Porsches, and a few other fun cars. I feel a bit bad for the guy in the Corvette who I let pass me and he promptly hit a deer. But, glad it wasn't me! I barely missed another one, later.
