Some Useful Real Life Repair/Modification/Maintenance Costs

I been keeping track of my maintenance, repair, and modification costs for a while and figure some of you newer 996 owners may appreciate that. First of all to see how much you'll be spending on the car, and how much the "real" costs of some of the repairs and tuning will be, including labor and taxes.

Yeah - I'm a geek. But hopefully this will be useful for someone.

I'm scared to do something like that....I don't want to know what I spend...might be too depressing

Nope - I bought it new and under warranty. With the free maintenance for 3 yrs/36K miles I never had to spend a penny.

that's why a $2800 CPO charge is worth it... unless you dont keep your car longer than 2 months

IMHO it is if you're going to do intake and/or exhaust. The software brings it all together.
