Don’t forget property taxes if this is relevant to your state. Where I live this is ~$4-5k per year for a new $100k+ car.

Hmmmm -
PPF = 5K
HRE wheels = 10K
Exhaust = 7.5K
Other mods = 5K
Watch to wear when driving 911 = 20K

It gets expensive.

If you bought something with up-to-date maintenance, or new, and plan to drive 7,000 miles per year, I'd say your projected first 4-year ownership experience would look something like this:

1) Yearly oil changes are about $300 at the dealership
2) At year 2 and year 4 you need a brake fluid flush at about $250@
3) You'll need rear tires at about year 3 or about 20,000 miles. Figure $900.
4) Might want to replace both cabin filters at about year 3 or 4. They are about $20 (small front trunk) and $60 (large cabin under glove box).

The biggest maintenance bill is in year 4 and/or 40,000 miles. Manily due to the plug replacement and engine air filters. This one is about $1,800 "all-in", give or take $200.

Curious what people are paying for the scheduled year 2 service. Is that just the oil and a brake service? Spark plugs or anything like that? Im due for it soon, just want to know what i should be doing versus what else they decide to do.

What year and mileage? That will help me give you a better more accurate answer.

Thanks - I had thought that was regarding tires, just saw the attachment. So ~$630.

Edit - I also didnt realize pricing was standard, swear I read in the forums of different prices (but that might have just been for unscheduled oil changes)

Oh it isn't...... it varies widely across the country.

The brochure from the Louisville, KY dealer can be used as a reference to give everyone an idea of cost.

Thanks Ill use it as a benchmark. For guys that take their cars off the road for winter and youre due for service in that period, do you wait or do it before? Im at 4k miles, do I need to rush to go get service 2 done?

My GA insurance works out to about $150 per month. 29 yo, 1 moving violation (wife has 1 accident and 1 moving violation, so I'm not sure if that impacts the Porsche rate). Was only about a 12% increase over what I paid for my 2014 Ram previously. A C2S oddly would have been about 35% more than I'm paying on my C2.

In the US - 300 is normal. Also, understand these cars hold a lot of oil so the material costs alone are high.

I knew that going in but had a little chuckle when he handed me the bill.
