My '01 costs have been pretty low: My 1st year oil service/checkup, including an all wheel alignment and tire balancing, was free at my dealer (I guess they like me!).

Porsche recommeds 1 yearly service, unless you drive moucho kilos. Typical services, from various owners, range from $300 - 500. Not bad, when you consider, yearly service (more then 1/year is typical) on my BMW is in the same price range.

The major expense you can expect is tires: You can drop $1200 - 1500 for a set with installation and alignment. Depending upon your driving, tires may go as quickly as 12,000 miles; but, hopefully, one can get 18,000! Alternatively, purchase a bit lower performance tire and get a bit more miles (and a few less $$).
