It's basically the same as the 15K. Oil, oil filter, cabin filter, engine air filter, are the major items. This assumes you had the brake fluid replaced at 30K/2 years.

The parts are less than $100 if you do some shopping.

I had a local independent shop quote me the 40K service plus a brake flush and the spark plugs. They wanted the car for a whole day, about $1000.
Ended up going to a friend's shop early one Saturday and we did everything but the brake flush for $300 including parts. took less than an hour and half and that's with two guys who never worked on a Boxster.

Dear Chicagoland boxster owners,

I will be at the Gino's Pizza place on Golf Road at 7:00 pm on September 28th eating by myself, drowing my sorrows in beer and marinara, in desperate need of the boxster bretheren.

Can someone like Nick or Bill take the ball and run with it and meet me there?

I'd love to see you all, drink a beer, eat a slice, and tell wild harrowing stories of my trip home from the Tail of the Dragon, where I stopped momentarily in Talledega, Alabama, got out of my car, screamed "NASCAR SUCKS!" and got back in my car and drove it like I stole it.

OK, I didn't really do that, but driving through town in my German made Porsche, I really wanted to and Lord knows everyone around me was thinking I'd hate NASCAR.

Let's NOT trade paint at Gino's!

Game on brother Randall!

It'll be good to see you again despite my liking of NASCAR.

Of course Ms. MightbeMrsSammysomeday might be ticked at you for the new wheels and headlights I purchased and blamed on you!

With that title, I'm confident you didn't piss away money on your car intended for an engagement ring, so I remain content with the way I positively infected you with "bolt-more-crap-on-my-car-itis"

See ya in a few weeks. And be sure to drive the Box so I can see the upgrades :dance:

BTW, if any of your four spoke wheel guys want to upgrade to a 3 spoke, I have one for sale. PM me if you are interested.

Don't worry, I have a few bucks left over for the ring.
