You’re ready to get a stylish, top-of-the-line luxury SUV, and you’re thinking about a Porsche. One thing you need to consider before you buy: Will your vehicle hold up its value over time? Here, we’ll explore the typical depreciation of the Porsche Cayenne, helping you decide whether this SUV is the right automotive investment for you.
Do Porsche Cayennes hold their value?
The Porsche Cayenne will lose about 82% of its value over the first 10 years (average MSRP of $94,015; MSRP may differ based on trim level). MSRP ranges from $67,500 to $166,200.
When you’re researching your potential new SUV, it’s key to consider how your vehicle will depreciate over time, especially if you’re planning on using it as a trade-in down the line. Here, we’ll go over how the Cayenne compares to competitors as far as depreciation, what drivers are saying about the Cayenne, and what you can expect to pay for each Cayenne trim level.
Does the Porsche Cayenne Hold its Value?
Buying a Porsche is a serious decision, and if you’re already doing the research on buying a Cayenne, you know you’re preparing to make a big investment.
While the Cayenne is a popular vehicle, the value doesn’t hold up as well as some of Porsche’s other offerings, such as the 911 series. The Cayenne loses a lot of value as soon as it’s off the lot, and it can be a good idea to purchase one that’s been leased and returned, rather than brand new.
