Default First Service...highest anyone has ever paid so far?

Got the service mssg, decided to go and do at local AD. Under 5k miles and one year since purchase. Kinda old school so I did the first oil change at 1k because I wanted to. Have no problems doin my own work, even have a Durametric to reset but wanted to do first service at dealer.

Wanted to see range of "first service" prices others have paid. Not gonna mention yet how much mine was but will reveal later.

It's just an oil change and visual check.

Most time you can get the visual check for free and an oil change and computer reset ranges from 250-350.

My cost was pretty normal for what Porsche dealers typically charge in my area. YMMV.

$FREE. Just an oil change, and I brought my own oil. I negotiated the first service in to the price of my purchase.

Why even have it if you don't drive it? I think I put 5k on in 2 months.

Just paid $389 for 10K Service including PCA discount. 10K is basically oil change and a minor look over from what i can tell. Before car was delivered back I got an e-mail from the dealer encouraging me to perform some "much needed service", including Brake Fluid Flush and Fuel System service all for the scant total of $2,900. What a racket!!!!

They must get people to fall for this once in a while, sad to see they are blatantly looking to take advantage of people.

Like out politicians, Porsche Service apparently uses fear to sell their products

Interesting. I paid $200 for a brake fluid flush at my dealer and oil change is usually $250-300 and I would think CA has the highest prices. I wonder how hard this fuel system service could possibly be.
