I have a $500 card courtesy of audi because of their tdi scandal. I have to use it in person at the dealership. I found that I can order porsche parts at the audi parts counter. The problem is the markup is crazy on everything. I just got a low mileage 996 that I am going to tune, so I figured I'd buy some preventative maintenance stuff. What are your guys thoughts?
The problem is a coil from pelican is $33 for the beru, and $115 from the dealer. I get that free is free, but what would you spend it on?

 

Tires maybe? How about a bunch of detailing/cleaning supplies? The markup usually isn't horrible there. Or you could blow it all on mugs, umbrellas, key chains, window shades.......

 

Waiting on tires until I choose some new rims... already stocked on detailing stuff... who doesn't need 100 porsche hats however...

I was thinking about a porsche indoor cover for $350. Its marked up like crazy, but I probably wouldn't buy it without the card...

 

Get a 997 shifter. The 997 version is a dramatic improvement over the 996. It is sonething that your can appreciate while negotiating traffic on the way to work at 30 mph. And the Porsche price is reasonable, less than $300 I think.

 

A few cases of 0-w40 oil?

 

^^^ We have a winner.

 

Make sure to order the correct shifter however, there are several variants I believe. IMO it's not the "best" shifter but it's a huge improvement and a good purchase for the money.

 

I have the 997 short shifter on already...

ask the dealer if they will pin your coolant lines for 500$

 

Hahaha. I'll ask. But I doubt they will do it for $500. Anyone know what it usually costs?

 

buy a dji phantom 3 drone and take good pictures and videos of your car .

 

just got done at $6400...

if they charged you 6400$ to simply pin the fittings they saw you coming. its no more than 5 hrs labor at most and MAYBE 10$ in parts

 

Spend it on a quality pressure test and fix all your leaks.
