Default from 08 GTS to a 13 GTS... does it get $$$$?

Currently have a 08 GTS which I LOVE. An opportunity has come up to get a CPO 2013 GTS. Its a little bit of a stretch $$ wise so I think the make or break will be maintenance.

How much more am I looking at maintenance-wise on the '13 vs the '08?

The CPO warranty is for 4yr/100k miles which helps a lot but the wear & tear costs add up. On the 08, it was bad enough doing the rotors and pads... despite buying all the parts from Pelican Parts and going to a small shop it still cost a bomb!

Any insight? Thanks!

I have a 13 GTS for almost a year now. I purchased it CPO with 20,000 miles on it, over the past 11 months I have driven 16,000 miles, 75% of it on the highway. I appreciate the car more now after these miles than when I purchased it. To date the only work on the car has been 2 oil changes and an annual impaction. The dealer changed approx. 260 for the oil change. It holds a lot of oil.

There have been no issues for service. I hope to keep the car for 7 years and put over 100,000 miles on it. From what I seen this is possible as long as you keep up with the maintenance. This is the most all around vehicle out there, fun to drive, fast, sounds great and you can haul family and stuff. While it is not as responsive as a 911, it is better than 99% of the cars on the road

I had the coolant line issue on my '11 S. That is a big engine out job - glad I had the CPO warranty. I've done about 25k miles in just over 16 months.
