Porsche Boxster

It's been 5 years since I took delivery of my Porsche Boxster GTS, and the second inspection cost me a whopping $520,000!

Inspection of 981 Boxster GTS

My husband's first Porsche, a 981 Boxster GTS; I was there when he took delivery of it in 2015. "I will definitely buy a Porsche in the future.I still remember how excited my husband was when we finally got the Porsche of our dreams after many years of deciding to buy it.

I still can't believe it's mine, it feels so strange. It's been a long time since I've driven a manual transmission, and the clutch is so heavy and difficult...!

I remember I was a little nervous and went for a mid-distance drive on that leg of the trip, saying things like "I'm sorry, I don't know.

In fact, I had already had my AT license removed when I took delivery of the Boxster, so I was ready to drive a manual transmission car. My husband had told me in advance that he wanted to drive the Boxster.

I want to get my AT license removed before I take delivery of my Boxster. It's more fun if you can drive it!

I kept being told again and again that I had toNo, I'll never drive, so there's no need for that (-_-)Despite saying, "I'm not interested in cars at all at the time," I took time off from work to go to a driving school.

And during the discernment course, the instructor told me, "Why did you decide to cancel your AT license again?He was asked, "Actually, my husband is buying a MT car and he told me I should get my limited license by then.When I spoke with the "Oh yeah, by the way, what kind of car is it?He asked me, "What do you mean?"It's a Porsche Boxster or something like that.The moment he answered, "I'm sorry.

Oh yeah! A Porsche! I don't care if it's another MT car, I can't drive like this in a Porsche! I'm going to take an extra class!

I was so shocked when I was told that (explosion).

Although I managed to get my driver's license removed, I was so anxious about driving that I have not driven the Boxster for almost 4 years since I took delivery of it...........................last year!I've since bought myself a BMW 320i with MT.I finally got to ride in a Boxster.Participated in Porsche driving schoolorHe is now able to drive himself to Hokuriku and back.

Meanwhile, her husband wasTouring to Tohoku in a Boxstergoing to and froRunning on Fuji Speedway andThe car has been on many other roads, but before I knew it, it had been five years since delivery, and I recently had to have the car inspected for the second time.

It all seems to be happening so fast!

What does the 981 Boxster GTS include in its inspection?

My husband has been a fan of the Boxster ever since he received the information about its inspection.

今回のボクスターの車検はめっちゃお金かかりそうやな…前の点検の時に、I'll have to change the front brake dics and pads at my next service.I think it's equivalent to what I was told. Porsche's parts cost a lot of money.

I was mumbling something like this. So, I would like to first write about the actual cost and contents of this inspection.

The main contents of the Boxster GTS inspection are
(981 Boxster GTS (MY2016) with 42,840 km)
Basic Inspection and Maintenance
Headlight Focusing
Rear brake caliper bolts replaced
Engine oil change (7.3L)
Brake and clutch fluid replacement
Wiper blade replacement
Air conditioner filter replacement
Front brake pads and disc rotors replaced
Spark plug replacement
Battery
Replacement of smoke flares (due to expiration)
Replace puncture repair agent (due to expiration date)
Weight tax
Liability insurance (24 months)
Remaining brake pads F: new, R: 8.0mm
Remaining tire groove F: 4.1mm, R: 4.7mm
Total: 523,300 yen (parts, labor, and tax included)

520,000 yen!

You could buy a used car (*_*)!

Among other things, batteries and brake discs seem to be quite expensive.

Boxster Vehicle Inspection

My husband has had every Porsche he's ever bought new inspected at the dealership.

Frankly, the dealerships are expensive though.I want to keep the new car warranty extended and continued for as long as I have it.(I want to keep my car in good condition (up to 15 years), replace parts as much as possible, and always drive it as close to a new car as possible, not repair it.

This was the case.

I also said, "Porsche's maintenance cost is amazing. I'm not saying you have to sell it before the inspection, but if you drive it for a long time with a certain amount of mileage, it will cost a lot of money. I said, "I don't mean that you have to sell it before the inspection.

Well, yeah, but...The money you'll spend depends entirely on what kind of condition you want to ride in.I think so. If you think that you can pass the inspection, you may not need to change any parts. If you don't think about the extended warranty, you can do it as a DIY or go to a general maintenance shop.
But I want to keep this car as close to new as possible, so that's why it costs so much.
After riding this much distance, you should not think about selling it, but keep on riding it, and I hope I can keep it in this condition and ride it carefully.

He said. It's really great that you keep your car. It was a great reference for when I buy a Porsche myself someday (LOL).
