Default Looking to buy used Cayenne turbo, need advice

I'm looking to get a Cayenne turbo but have a couple of questions. Since I'm looking at pre-owned, how many miles "too much" if I'm looking to keep the car 3-4years? Currently I'm limiting my search to '05s and '06s with <20K miles. Another option is the GTS, but one of my main criteria is that it be able to drive in snow, I'm worried the brake pads on the GTS may prevent me from putting on 19" rims with snows. (Also I prefer the exhaust note of the turbo over the standard S). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Haven't heard about a specific amount of "too many miles"...kinda depends on you and what you want. As far as snow is concerned, I think it will have less to do with what model Cayenne you buy than what tires you decide to use. High performance summer tires will be bad in the snow regardless. If you plan to do in towing, keep in mind that the GTS is rated about 1000 lbs less than the other models tow capacity, 7700 lbs...seems to be because of the steel springs. See www.porsche.com/usa for more details and specs on these models.
