I believe I paid around $400 - $450, which included plugs, V belt, computer checkout and their 40 point, or so, inspection. This was minus the oil, oil filter, and air filter, which I did myself.

mine just passed 61000 miles: 40% clutch left (no drag starts but lots of track time),steering wheel ignition lock replaced at 55,000(a common fault but porsche has upgraded part, ~ $250 with install), My power steering pump is starting to make noise prob replace it this year. Keep extra mass flow sensor, mine blows cause by my tuning and not failure of design. Oh, and a blown front right shock, again prob cause by the Tech Art lowering spring. Otherwise cost the same as our volvo in "actual" maintenance upkeep.

It has been modded for a few years now. It is my daily driver. I always warm it up before pushing it and let the car idle for around a minute or two before shut down. It has been bullit proof, but the upkeep is pretty high if you service it at the dealer which I do. There are no Imagine Autos down here or any of those gurus, so I keep it at the dealer, the service manager and the dealership treats me great.
Thanks for sharing. Are you located in South Florida?

Anyone have the step-by-step for the DIY oil change? I like working on my own cars.
