Porsche Maintenance Costs

Boxster GTS, inspection

Our 981 Boxster GTS (MT), purchased in November 2015, has been in the shop for four years and recently had to be taken in for its one-year service. My husband was ...

Last time I had my Panamera serviced, then I had the air-cooled one, then the Boxster again...what's with all the servicing lately?

With that said, I took the Boxster to the Porsche Center. I thought the inspection would take a long time, but they brought it in in the morning and completed it in the evening.(In the meantime, I borrowed a Crown Athlete as a loaner car and my husband drove it, maybe he will write a test drive review)

For your information, the inspection of the Boxster was as follows. There were no particular defects or malfunctions, and the car was said to be in perfect health.

Brake squeal
→The front brakes were found to have brake squeal. There are still pads left on the front brakes, but this time we used anti-squeal grease.
Engine oil change (75 liters)
SEALING RING
Oil filter change
Air conditioner filter replacement
Remaining brake pads F:4.0mm R:7.0mm
→When the brake pad warning light comes on, the pads and rotors need to be replaced at the same time.
Remaining tire groove F:4.9mm R:5.6mm

At the beginning of the statement, it said, "Check for brake squeal...Were you concerned about squealing brakes?' I asked my husband.

No, I'm the kind of person who thinks the brakes on a Porsche should squeal, so I'm not really bothered by it.Do you have any concerns? Feel free to tell me anything!I said, "Well, if I had to say, the brakes have been squealing a little lately..." and they took care of it.

This was the case. In addition, the frontOnly 4mm of brake pads left.So, they will have to replace it in the near future as it will definitely not last until next year's inspection. My husband is

I'll be attending the Porsche Track Experience this month in a Boxster, and I told him that's about as good as it gets. However.When it comes to replacement, it's not only the brake pads that need to be changed, but also the discs this time.They said, it's time to replace the disc because it's starting to show ears and there is a slight crack, so they recommended replacing it if possible. I think it's going to cost me a fair amount of money. Cars are really expensive...

Porsche Warranty

My husband bought the Boxster in November 2015 and last year, after a year ofPolshare Proofed Warrantybut they have extended the warranty by two years for this inspection. I asked him why.

Last year I thought I might give up my Boxster when the GT3 came along.I no longer plan to give up my Boxster at this point.I've extended the warranty for two years because of the
I have a GT3 in my house, but it is not a replacement for the Boxster GTS, because it is not the same car at all. 981 is really a great car, I think again now. I'm sure it will be worth more in the future.(whispering)

He said.

I, too, finally got a decent ride in a Boxster recently, so I was like, "You know what?I hope they don't keep selling it...I personally believe that the "I'm not the only one".

By the way.The two-year Porsche warranty amounts to 187,000 yen.This means that Porsche will pay for the cost of repairing any malfunctions during the warranty period, butConsumables are not covered, so you pay for oil and filter changes on a case-by-case basis.Needed.

Including this two-year warranty amount of 187,000 yen, the cost of this inspection was approximately 280,000 yen.

Cars are really expensive. It is expensive to buy a car, but even more expensive to maintain a car.

    High maintenance costs are the price to pay for high specs lol.
    You have to think a little about replacing consumables and choose a car that will last...
    I know you blog about the cost a lot, but Porsche really isn't half bad! I cry!

      It's something that's not half bad.

      All along, I've been trying to "buy myself a Porsche!" I've been working hard to achieve this goal.
      Considering the maintenance costs, I really need to work harder........................................

      Oooh, I see what you mean! I will also continue to blog about what I have learned from owning a Boxster.
      Thank you very much!

    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    I am always searching the internet for information on used cars I am interested in every day, and I was so excited to find a 981 Boxster GTS 6MT car this morning, but by this afternoon it was already gone.... I guess they are very popular.
    With turbocharged cars becoming the norm, my interest is in naturally aspirated engines, so the 981 is very appealing, but I can't take the plunge because of my family. (Or I can't say it...)
    This is because my son, who is in the 5th grade, has grown up to be a car enthusiast thanks to the brainwashing he has received since he was little, and if we buy a Boxster or Cayman, he will definitely want to ride in the passenger seat.
    However, my older kindergarten daughter also wants the passenger seat.... Right now, due to my daughter's height, I have convinced my son to yield the passenger seat to my daughter in order to prevent the seatbelt from being placed around her neck, but I wonder what would happen if this were a car with a two-person capacity. Looking at her usual behavior, my daughter often gives up to her brother, but I kind of feel sorry for her.... (although my wife readily says I don't care too much...) However, when I think that if I buy a car with a capacity of two people, my daughter will surely give up her seat to her brother, it brakes me down and I wonder if I can't afford to buy it. (Of course, my wife's face comes to mind, and her braking power is also quite strong. (Of course, the thought of my wife's face comes to mind, and her braking power is quite considerable.

      Thank you for watching!

      >I was so excited to find a 981 Boxster GTS 6MT car, but by the afternoon it was gone....

      I see!!! It's that popular...wow.

      A family of four has a lot to worry about when it comes to buying a two-seater car...^^..;
      Then I think, "I still like the 911," but then I get in the Boxster and think, "Ahhh, this is still great...".

      I too am shaken daily.
      And somehow, I have a feeling that at the perfect time, Mr. Taka and his family will meet a car that hits the spot ^^;
