Whenever you go to your local friendly Porsche dealer for parts or service be sure to take a large tube of KY Jelly. You're still going to get serviced, but it will hurt a little less. If the battery or other part says PORSCHE in big bright letters it's gonna hurt when you hit the cash register.
I've driven Porsches for twenty-five years and can't stand the thought of not having one, but you've got to be smart and use your options when buying parts or service.

Very "on point" commentary, O2 sensors come to mind as one example where some splicing and heat shrink tubing can save serious dollars.
