Factory options include Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+), Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), and the Sport Chrono Package. Modifications consist of a Eurowise transmission cooler measuring twice the size of the original component, JRZ reservoir coilovers, a coil spring conversion, and Eurowise rear control arms. The seller adds that all fluids, except for the coolant, have been changed. No outstanding maintenance items have been reported.
This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, and RotopaX 2-gallon fuel & water containers with locks.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. I have owned this car for approximately 1 year, and I am the 2nd owner. This has been garage-kept, well-maintained, and cleaned.
This was professionally built at Eurowise in Charlotte, NC. Vehicle located in Cincinnati. Specs in the first picture. 95K miles. No codes or lights on the dash. ALL fluids have recently been changed except the coolant, which tested good. Service records and build sheet from Eurowise are available. Factory unicorn specs include PTV Plus (OEM Center & Rear Locking Differential) and PDCC Front & Rear (OEM Sway Bar Disconnects). The build also features the Eurowise brand-new oversized transmission cooler that is double the size of OEM to keep the transmission nice and cool on the trail.
It was the very first Cayenne to get a steel spring conversion (JRZ coilover reservoirs) from air shocks and still keep a functional PDCC system. Just got it wrapped a month ago using Printable PPF. Solid black underneath.
I picked this specific Cayenne because it had all the rare options I was looking for, and I built it to my dream specs. It is absolutely amazing on and off road because of the combination of PASM and the electronically controlled JRZ suspension, which is top-of-the-line. Soaks up bumps on the road and the trail like it's a Cadillac. When put into Sport suspension or Sport Mode, it takes corners with zero body roll, even with the off-road 33" tires. This is the very last year Porsche offered the naturally aspirated V8.”

@GinnmillRacing yes. I took it to an upholstery shop that works on high-end vehicls and they said when this happens (they've seen it before) it cannot be streached and reattched or glued down. The sun shrinks the leather and causes it to curl up. That section was removed so the dash cover can lay flat over it. Like I stated before even if you did get new leather on the dash your best bet is to cover it up with a dash mat to prevent it from happening again. The fact that Porsche uses real leather on a dash that can get extremely hot in the sun would make me want that protection on a new or used vehicle. I knew this well before I purchased the vehicle and it did not make me hesitate because it's such a minor issue. I'm not showing this car in a concourse event.
@Cayenne958 can you clarify picture #86 of the dash...has the leather that came unglued been cut away?
@Red76 I have found that there's only any type of real difference when going at higher highway speeds. I think the max I've ever seen it off was like 5 mph. I'm sure there is a way to recalibrate for tire size I just didn't think it was worth looking into because it was so minimal.
Does the speedometer/odometer read true with the oversized tires? If not can it be recalibrated?

@BigBooter when I press the driver's side heated seat button the light comes on. If there is an issue it may be intermittent. I do know the passenger side works fine. I've never used the heated seats personally because this is garage kept and I never really had it out much in winter (kept on battery tender and the battery is a brand-new Bosch AGM). No other issues to report.
Any of the options in the car not working. The Eurowise receipt made note of a non-functional heated seat. Has that been repaired? Anything else to speak of? Thx!

@Craignyc I will get some better pictures uploaded later this afternoon. I'm not near the car right now. The auxiliary switches are located to the right of the steering wheel. They are wireless and you can quick detach the unit and take it outside of the vehicle and operate the lights as well. They can also be operated using an app. The Warne winch is also Bluetooth and can be operated by an app. It also comes with a wired remote. I'll upload a picture of that as well.
In regards to the dashboard... It's been widely documented that this generation of Cayenne (I think other generations too) has had issues with the leather dash separating under high heat meaning sitting in the sun where the dashboard can get really hot. You can Google search it and it's pretty much everywhere. When I purchased this Cayenne it came like this, but I knew I was getting a dash mat anyway, so I didn't care. The dash cover mat that I got is actually very nice. I've never had anyone question why it was there. Not only does it protect the dash, but I think it looks way better. People purchase these even when their dash is in perfect condition to keep it that way. I personally wouldn't spend the money to get the dash recovered with leather because you would have to put the dash mat back on top of it anyway to protect the new leather from it happening again, but I do know it is possible to replace and you don't have to go to the dealer to get it done. If you were to go to the dealer they would just replace the entire dash as one piece, but there are upholstery shops that can replace just the leather if that's what you want to do. I have no idea why Porsche would choose to use real leather on an area that gets extremely hot in the Sun, but it is what it is.
Can you please provide better pictures of the top of the dash with the covering off. What is going on there? Also where are the switches for the Aux lights located? Thank you
@Red76 I'm selling the vehicle because, honestly, I haven't had the time to enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Between work and other commitments, it's just been sitting more than I've been driving it, and I’d rather let someone else get the most out of it.
Beautiful build here with excellent maintenance records. Just curious why you are selling it after only 2 yrs of ownership?
Such a cool build. GLWS!
Amazing build. One of our favorites.
Good luck with sale

@BigBooter the boots on the drive shafts were worn and unfortunately there's no way to just replace the boots so the entire drives shaft were replaced.
@BigBearJoe yes it has both Hill Decent Control and on a steep inclines (and regual inclines) it will automatically HOLD the vehicle when you release the brake so you don't roll back.
Looking at the CarFax, the most recent service talks to replacing driveshafts. Can you speak to that at all? Thank you
What a handsome truck! Great build on a great base spec. GLWS!
I'm very familiar with the 955/957 Cayenne but don't know the particulars on the 958. Do they have descent/hill control or a way to engage it? My 957 does it automatically when shifting the transfer case into low range.
@BigBooter A driving video has been added to the listing.
@BigBooter I have some driving videos on my phone somewhere. I'll ask PCar if I can upload one so they can post it.
@Cayenne958 - Awesome - thanks for the quick reponse! Any driving videos on this? Thanks
@BigBooter thanks for the kind words! The Vario Cam bolt issue was fixed by 2013 and this is a 2014. A 2014 is a great year because it's the very last year of the 958.1 and has the latest revisions/fixes. You can tell it's the new bolt because when you open the oil fill cap you can see the bolt right there and it has a white mark on the head. I do have all the paperwork for the modifications and the maintenance history. I shared it with this auction company. No coolant leaks. This Cayenne also has the Metal Vent Pipe/Tube Upgrade (Stainless Steel) in the valley of the engine that isn't listed in the mods. It's listed in the Eurowise paperwork.
First off, I would like to applaud you on this build! I'm a huge fan...and that wrap is great as well. Also - thank you for addressing the Transfer Case question already. My question - were these impacted by the Vario Cam bolt issues? If so, has the recall been completed? Do you have all paperwork for modications and maintenance history? Any coolant leaks to speak of? Thank you!
@Zrtactical the transfer case has not been replaced because it is not showing any signs of slipping. When I got the Cayenne I replaced the fluid in the transfer case four times in a row to flush everything out just to be sure. In addition to that, the transfer case also has the latest upgrade of the air vent breather tube that goes all the way up into the engine bay. I had that installed and is official from Porsche. Most cases of people thinking the transfer case needs replaced can actually be fixed by replacing all of the fluid (multiple times in a row) and doing it on a regular basis which is recommended about every other oil change. It takes about 0.8 quarts. If you have any other questions please let me know.
Do you know if this has had transfer case replaced yet?
Thank you for visiting my auction. I will try to answer all questions as quickly as possible. Happy bidding!
