Hey guys,

I just purchased a 2003 Porsche Boxster with a little over 60,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, I do not know how well this car was taken care of. The carfax report shows:

- Oil and filter changed chassis lubricated (7,000 miles)
- Oil and filter changed chassis lubricated (11,000 miles)

And then the car was sold and there are no Carfax service records. The car may have been serviced... but I have no way of knowing.

I know that at 60,000 miles there are some major maintenance things that need to happen. I learned this by calling a local Porsche dealer/service place.

Can someone tell me what are the major things I would want to have serviced? I realize that it will cost four figures ($XXXX). I just want to make sure I'm not having things done that aren't necessary.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm 23, and I have a great respect for automobiles. (Not to mention very excited to be a Porsche owner!)
