re wipers, great thanks!

re Cayenne, I've heard of driveshaft issues, but I haven't really done much other research. I thought they were pretty reliable. What issues have you had with yours?

I recall reading something bad about coolant pipes (plastic) in the V8 models.

Good luck with selling the boxster and using the 928!

Perhaps I'm unlucky but I'm not keen on the Cayenne as much any more.

you can find out most everything you need to know here in the Rennlist Cayenne forums. I highly recommend the admin stickys before buying a !PIG

I do! Based on feedback on Cayennes, I am adding BMW X3/X5 to the possible trade for list
