Depends on you and your dealer. The upside of the plans is that you are locked in at the price you paid (and let's be real, the service costs are only going to go up over the years) so no mater what Porsche dealer you take it to you won't be shafted by a ridiculous rate (for the 5k interval (e.g. oil change) the dealers in my area range from 450 to 675 for the same service). If I remember correctly someone calculated out the 4 year plan being the best value, but it's been awhile since I looked into it. The plans also only have value if you will only take it to Porsche dealers.

For me I looked into it and I could indeed "save" some money going with a few plans rather than pay as I go, but I can save even more by either doing the stuff myself (e.g. oil changes) or taking it to a local Indy.

My advice would for you to find a good Indy in your area that knows Porsches and sit down and review what they would charge for the SI items that you don't want to (or can't) take care of yourself. Then compare that to what your Porsche dealer(s) would charge, and finally compare that to different plan prices.

I'm a Porsche newbie...should I plan on purchasing the maintenance plan from the porsche dealer?

I'll post pics soon. Getting it tinted tomorrow.

And YES, I do in fact PDCC, just not PTV. Someone here was nice enough to help me out with the build info.

My car retailed for $121k. So CRAZY.

Is it just me or is this too good to be true. Accident repair? Do they actually depreciate that much that quick?
