The major expense you can expect is tires: You can drop $1200 - 1500 for a set with installation and alignment.

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

How much does it cost to keep these things running good? Is it like a benz, with overpriced everything? Or are they not too bad? The insurence does not seem to be bad but what does a standard 60,000 mile tune-up run for? All advice is welcome and needed. Please help me out.

POST 2Original post

For the most part its pretty expensive which is why I try to buy a new one with the 4 year 50k mile warranty. Take for instance an oil change. Here at the Portland Oregon deasler you are looking at a couple of hundred dollars for a basic oil change and some minor check outs. But, if you have a reliable vehicle you should be ok. I have also heard a lot about oil leaks from the main shaft where the engine is replaced. I am sure that can be expensive too if not under warranty

POST 3Original post

My '01 costs have been pretty low: My 1st year oil service/checkup, including an all wheel alignment and tire balancing, was free at my dealer (I guess they like me!). Porsche recommeds 1 yearly service, unless you drive moucho kilos. Typical services, from various owners, range from $300 - 500. Not bad, when you consider, yearly service (more then 1/year is typical) on my BMW is in the same price range. The major expense you can expect is tires: You can drop $1200 - 1500 for a set with installation and alignment. Depending upon your driving, tires may go as quickly as 12,000 miles; but, hopefully, one can get 18,000! Alternatively, purchase a bit lower performance tire and get a bit more miles (and a few less $$).
