oil changes and tires.... you'll have to wash the stare marks off freqently also, so plan on about 20.00 a week for car wash supplies....

Of all the exotic cars I've driven daily, including the Ferrari; the Porsche is the cheapest to maintain. So drive the snot out of it and enjoy it.

looks like you plan on driving 18k a year, so thats six 200.00 oil changes, and a 500-700 major once a year.

Hey Kevin..

I haven't actually tallied it up, but you can get a sense from this page: http://p-car.com/temp/993service.htm

The TT's have marginally higher expenses than the normally aspirated versions. Also, check out the regular 993 board, people have asked about it before.

For me, it's been about 7 K per year. But I include things like insurance, registration, modifications, etc. The modifications are the biggest item.

I spend $600 on rear tires and $300 in oil changes. The difference between you guys and me is the labor is very cheap for me. I only put 3,000 kilometers a year due to short distances from where I live and my work location and that´s my daily car. You can expect a $3,000 on maintenance depending the cost of parts and labor in your country. Anyway, the satisfaction you receive when drive a 993tt pay the effort.

Regards

More than a Honda, less than a Ferrari

You should enjoy the ride and worry about the consequences later. Live once, die twice! Its all worth it.
