Used 2024 Porsche Cayenne buyer's checklist

  1. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 5 recalls this year — ask for proof of repairs.
  2. Safety-critical recall. At least one recall carries a "Do Not Drive" or "Park Outside" warning. Do not buy until the VIN shows it was repaired.
  3. Exterior Lighting — 2 owner reports. Check all exterior lights, wipers and the windshield for cracks.
  4. Fuel/Propulsion System — 1 owner reports. Smell for fuel around the car and in the cabin, check that it starts easily when warm, and look at the oil dipstick for a fuel smell or rising level.
  5. Forward Collision Avoidance › Adaptive Cruise Control — 1 owner reports. Make sure driver-assist systems and the backup camera work without error messages.
  6. Before you pay: service records, a history report and an independent inspection.
