Porsche Cayenne Depreciation

A Porsche Cayenne will depreciate 47% after 5 years and have a 5 year resale value of $55,219.

Porsche's foray into the SUV market has worked out quite well, and they sell a ton of Cayennes. Their values, however, don't hold up nearly as well as their 911s. While the Cayennes are well-built and seem to last forever, they will lose 40% of their value in the first three years. So, if you can, buy one that is 3 years old or older when one comes off lease. If you play your cards right, you can find one still under warranty, and maybe even a CPO, which will further extend the warranty.

The chart below shows the expected depreciation for the next 10 years. These results are for vehicles in good condition, averaging 12,000 miles per year. It also assumes a selling price of $103,367 when new. Enter your purchase price, expected ownership period and estimated miles driven annually. Our depreciation calculator will predict an expected resale value for the Porsche Cayenne.

If you purchase a used Porsche Cayenne that is 2 years old, then you could save $15,226 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $32,922. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used Cayenne models become available.
