Default Wheel alignment recommended after first 5000 Km ?

My dealer recommends to do a wheel alignment of my 2006 Boxster after the first 5000 Km (3.000 miles). They claim that quite a few Boxsters (but not all) have alignment changes in this period, causing tyre wear.

Is this the general practice for the Boxster, or typical for this dealer?

Sounds fishy to me.

.. my dealer was shocked I wanted to spend money to change the oil at 7500 miles (instead of 15000 miles). They didn't try to upsell anything, including the alignment you speak of. This is the first I've read of it.
