Hi guys, I'm waiting for the right car to come on the market to purchase and in the mean time I am trying to create a spreadsheet comparing (expected) running costs between a 997.2 Turbo and my 991.1 C2S.


I have the maintenance checklists for each vehicle but I really wish there was somewhere I could find a "your car has 20,000 miles so here's what you have to do and here's what it's going to cost" type of organization instead of listing the part that needs attention and then how often you have to do it.


If such an animal does not exist I'll make it but it sure would save me a lot of time.


Thanks!

see attached, but it doesn't have costs.

VLJ

that is the document I have, was looking for something organized by mileage/year rather than by task.


Thank you.

Honestly at some point this is just mental masturbation. The turbo will cost more, occasionally a lot more to maintain. Either you are ok with it or you arent. Spending the time to make a spreadsheet is just needless

VLJ

Yeah I'm just that type of person, everything gets calculated.

I keep a track record for myself, and the inevitable sell (much easier to run someone through a spreadsheet than go through a pile of receipts).

Here's mine, purged of figures. The cells showing the maintenance schedule had comments detailing the K's/date it happened, but this was lost when I downloaded it from Google Docs.

Thanks for sharing this, it's perfect.

I'm looking at a car with 34k miles, it's cpo. What should I expect to do right away maintenance wise and what should I make sure they have done?

LOL. Leave it to quad to come up with an eloquent answer..

Ibanezgod

first plug change at 60k? Fuel Filter at 90k?

saabin

Those are kilos, not miles, so that's about right..

nzskater

Yes, that's it The rest of the world sometimes forgets that you guys are still rolling in miles.
