Here's my Cayenne GTS nicely optioned and specd it's my daily even though I've been working remote for the past 8 years. I'm contemplating of selling it and getting a x4m comp . Thoughts ?
So thinking about a GTS (or other Cayenne) for my wife's DD. Also thinking about X6M and a 745e (tax credits!). How do you like the GTS? Do you mind sharing your monthly lease/finance payment? The 745e is the most economical but I'll also drive her car somewhat frequently so the gas bill for our X5MC doesn't put us in the poor house.
My cayenne GTS was a paid off car no payments on them while the spec and color combo was beautiful . It wasn't fast enough for me . I needed a straight 500 plus HP sporty suv . I was going to get a x6m year 16-18 for 60k max budget with 30-40k miles but ended up spending 10k more and got a beautiful amg GLE 63 s coupe .

I'm looking to mod this big bucket.
Don't know where to start ?

Can the gurus here chime in on these GLE 63s beautiful daily for me fast safe good in rain and snow and loving the bang olfusen sound in it.

Never really modded cars and never really modded a fast suv coupe. I was thinking powder coating wheels black lowering it a bit and leave it at that ?

I do believe you are on air suspension so I would do this:

Ebay Lowering Module
Powder Coat the wheels black
Remove the center resonator for more exhaust noise

and maybe a quick obdII tune.

Thank you !

What are your thoughts on this ?
F430 spider

Plenty of examples under 10-12k miles can be had for under 130k which fits well in my price range . Can easily run this two years 6k miles each and still won't take a big hit.

After I get bored this is the next car I'm leaning towards. I'm getting an itch to get this now LOL. 15k down payments are 1300-1400 range 84 month financing 3.99 apr. You must have owned Ferrari u crazy man and other exotics . Help a junior out.

LOL its a classy car for sure but no warranty you will need to be covered. I had an FF and a 458 at the same time and while I was honored to own them but I really just went to my Porsche or AMG for daily usage.

Id say drive it see how you like the transmission, sound and lesser power and aged tech. If I go back to Ferrari its going to be a spider (488).
