In my case I got a 6-speed for two reasons:
- DAT SOUND on the gated shifter. Nothing can beat that.
- When doing the clutch, if it is a manual, it is a piece of cake. If you get the e-gear then...

Like any other car there is a ton of very knowledgeable people out there that can work on the 360, saving a ton of money vs taking it to the dealer. If you can turn a wrench you can do at home like...

I would try getting the 04 at a lower price and buying it. As mentioned it is always better money wise to get the newest model you can buy.

I would not bother. I mean if I had to pick where to use the money due to limited amount of funds, painting the top would be my last choice. Not sure what your plan is regarding driving it with the...

Almost the same that happened with my Cayenne, bought brand new in 2006. Had all sorts of issues and over 48 months the car spent a full month at the dealer (in multiple visits). At one point I had...

Mine really did not 'go' per se. But had to tear it down to fix it and as we were already there I said let's do the whole thing and be done for at least 100,000 miles.

The main thing about buying in the US and not in Canada is not really money. It is the selection. You can find pretty much anything on the color you want, with the options you want and on a certain...
