Cayenne S Diesel (V8) purchase queries and history check (WD17DUJ)

[scaramanga]

Hi all,
I’ve decided to buy a V8 Diesel and interested if anyone has advice in terms of checking the car at point of collection/delivery.

The registration of the car is WD17DUJ, just in case anyone knows the car or had previously owned it.

Also, does anyone recall if the 100L fuel tank was an option? I believe the standard fuel tank on the S Diesel was 85L.

It may sound strange, but we currently have an E3/9Y0 cayenne (2018, 3.0T) so I’m essentially buying the older generation. The Gen3 is a great car, very competent and capable, but I think the V8 Diesel may be a little better suited to our needs.

Any advice or views from owners would be welcome!

I can do you a HPI check from the reg scaramanga.

Let me know unless @Scrounger has done it already for you

 

[scaramanga]

That’s really kind, thank you so much.

I will let @Scrounger reply in case already done.

Yup. Did a MOT history check and it all looked fine.

Just messaged you with the HPI check

Trying to get the service history from the Porsche network but the server must be on the blink.

Huge thanks to @JMR for the HPI check.

In case anyone may know the car, it has also been known under the following registrations:
- N15 WRD
- EIW 983
- C1 SBD

Thanks!

Check to ensure transfer case issue has been addressed

Hi all, just wanted to update the thread. I have loved the S Diesel, it is a superb machine in every way. Comfortable, fast, stable and very luxurious inside. I have actually decided to swap the car for another one (higher spec, lower mileage)!

Thanks again to everyone who helped with the first purchase!
