Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

my car is 02 and went into service 3/02. it have underwent yearly oil service since it was only driven 3-5K miles/year. i bought the car in 5/05 and it went through the precertified inspection and an oil change. i took the car back in 1/06 and had another oil service. i asked if i needed anything more since was at 17k miles. i was told that oil service is good enough as my pre-certified inspection would have taken care of various inspection. so i took the car back today for some warranty stuff. i was told that i should have a major service. he felt that it was important for a 4 year old that only had oil service done. furthermore, since i have 2 more years of pre-cert warranty, i should do it to keep up maintainence. Is this true???? or am i just donating 1000 dollars to their christmas party fund? a freiend of mine to me that according to porsche guideline, a 17k mile car doesn't need anything but oil change..... thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Year: 2010 Make: Porsche Model: 911 Price: $90000 Mileage: 30800 Color: Atlas Grey Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing Location (State): CT Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: 4WD & AWD Although there was no Turbo 'S' available in 2010, this Atlas Grey Metallic Turbo has all the 'S' options and then some! MSRP was $171,200. Options include: PCCB Ceramic Brakes RS Spyder Centerlock wheels Adaptive heated Sport seats PTV PDK Porsche Dynamic Light system Sport Chrono Sport design steering wheel with paddle shifters Bluetooth Interface Universal Audio Interface Sirisu XM Satellite radio Illuminated stainless door sill guards PDK and handbrake in aluminum Tons of leather including Additional interior package leather (includes steering column, gauge cluster surround, dash vents), Sun visors leather, steering column casing leather, PDK surround leather Deviating Carpet black Porsche Crest on headrest and Turbo logo on center console. I also added the leather dome light cover and exterior painted center console to perfect the interior when I purchased the car. I also replaced the clear bra with a high end job (done by Detailing Dynamics) with full front coverage including full hood. Car is in excellent condition, recent (earlier this year) major maintenance including plugs/coil packs/belts/brake flush/coolant flush, etc. I'm the second owner (purchased as CPO car 3 years ago). This is a truly excellent example (this is my second 997 Turbo)... a rare fully optioned Turbo in a great color that doesn't consume any oil at all. Still under CPO warranty. Only selling due to planned move overseas. Non-smoker Always garaged No accidents, no paintwork Never driven in snow Regularly detailed Never abused/tracked/raced No performance/engine modifications Miles are mostly commuting on country roads In service date 5/3/2010 Porsche CPO warranty until 4/30/2016!

POST 3Original post

put it this way. it's not ur car that needs the service. it's the techs, dealers need u to service them.

POST 4Original post

Atlas Gray is one of my favorite 997 colors! Truly stunning!

Quote: Good call..... I would stay away from that service writer, he's not looking out for you. -Eli

POST 8Original post

Whoa 997.2 loaded are in the $90k now. What a bargain

POST 9Original post

At the minimum, you should replace/flush your brake fluid. You may want to replace the air filter as well.

POST 10Original post

thanks for the comments guys... it's definitely a great color but tough to photograph. I really thought I'd keep this one forever... I'm even more attached to this one than my 2007 that I ordered myself. I'm still somewhat tempted to put it in storage but I'll be out of the country for at least 4 years and would imagine that even properly stored that can't be good for it.

POST 11Original post

I would also change the coolant in the car. It is now 4 years old.

POST 13Original post

Let's not forget to put some air in those tires...... -Eli

POST 14Original post

Quote: I hope he only uses PORSCHE Certified air. Otherwise, if he has any engine trouble, Porsche will disallow warranty coverage.

POST 15Original post

Quote: Porsche Certified Air: 1psi = $1 On a serious note, I would do the transmission fluid change as well. And fuel filter.

POST 16Original post

Why not just read the manual for service needs? Tranny fluid, Fuel filter, coolant change at 4 yr / 17k mi is clearly not necessary You just need a 15k service and brake fluid change (every 3 yrs). 15k service includes inspections, oil change, cabin filter change. Air filter is every 30k or earlier depending on amount of dirt. Don't waste your money.
