Are there particular service intervals that are pricier than others when evaluating cost of different GT3s?

Anything with spark plugs is quite a bit more costly. My 60k service didn't require spark plugs and was not too bad (~$500) whereas the 72k service will cost more than double that due to spark plugs needing to be changed. These are prices from an actual Porsche dealership I'm referencing, not an indy shop.

Thanks! These costs don't seem much more, if at all, than the service costs I end up with on my M3.

that's really not bad at all, considering the avg service for my M3 is in that $1k-$1500 range - For a car that's less than half the price.

I am the 2nd owner for my 2008 GT3. I bought it to enjoy for weekend events, N Georgia/North Carolina Mountain runs etc. I have no intention of DD it or tracking it, been there done that with other cars. I wanted to buy the lowest mileage GT3 I could afford and with a CPO. 4/5yrs later and some 5000miles added it is still a low mileage car with 8800miles. CPO expires in July. My advice is figure out what you want from the car and purchase based on this. I wanted to keep the mileage down, keep the condition as pristine as possible but enjoy it when I choose to drive it and have the highest possible resale $ when I choose to sell it. If you want a car to track then I suggest purchasing one with all the track goodies already on it. You will surely be addicted to this as I was. Mileage on these is secondary they are great cars that are somewhat bulletproof. DD was not my interest as I wanted more comfort.
