The American bought a 2004 Porsche Cayenne Turbo at the end of May 2019. He paid exactly $ 10,000 (695,000 rubles) for the car, while the new one cost $ 93,755 (6.5 million rubles at the current exchange rate). In the second year of ownership, the American counted all the expenses and talked about them on Reddit.

• At the time of purchase, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo had a range of 119,000 miles (191,512 kilometers). Together with the car, the American bought the spare parts remaining from the previous owner for 1000 dollars (69.5 thousand rubles) - a second set of wheels, suspension arms, an original radio tape recorder and other parts.
• Soon after the purchase, the Cayenne demanded the most significant expenses - for a set of tires and brake discs with pads, front air struts and scheduled maintenance, the owner paid $ 6419 (446 thousand rubles). During the year, the car had 11 different problems - from the failure of the rear parking sensors to the breakdown of the valve cover gasket of the 450-horsepower 4.5 V8. It took another $ 3279 (228 thousand rubles) to fix these faults.
• For the year, the American spent $ 10,698 (744,000 rubles) on a 16-year-old Porsche Cayenne Turbo - more than the cost of the car itself. However, the owner is not going to give up the Cayenne, which he likes very much - he plans to drive it until 200,000 miles (321,869 kilometers) appears on the odometer.
