Yeah, the problem is that for pre-owned boxster, the All-Important certified service stamps are highly desired for resale value. If you do the servicing yourself, especially during the warranty period, you risk affecting the car's resale value.

That, and the oil alone (nine quarts of Mobil-1 synth) generally costs near $100. Combined with the fact that the *specified* oil service interval is now 20,000 miles and you're not looking at a humongous cash outlay in order to do oil changes.
