Maintenance question...years or miles???

Hi all,

I am getting close to the 20,000 mile mark on my 2007 (late 2006 build- purchase).

So, do I do the minor 20,000 mile servicing or the major 4 year servicing?

My gut feeling is the major servicing is overkill as the vehicle has been truly babied and pampered it's whole life. Seems silly to do things such as replace the spark plugs when the vehicle feels virtually new.

Thought, opinions, etc. all welcomed and appreciated!

As always, thank you in advance,

Steve

PS: it is a CPO vehicle with about 2.5 years left( if this matters).

At that mileage I would only do the normal oil/filter change, cabin filter, and brake fluid flush (every 2 years). Nothing else is really needed. You can also get this done at any Porsche indy shop for considerably less money than the dealership. Spark Plugs aren't needed with such low mileage and years.

As stated above, I'd do the regular yearly service (oil, filter, etc.) and only do the major services when you hit that many miles.
