60K wasn't along ago for me. I'm at 69K now with a 2000 S. I had a lot of work done.

clutch/flywheel (stock)
Intermediate Shaft (IMS) upgrade (should be done with cluthch-- if not before IMO)
Rear Main Seal (RMS) upgrade (I believe Cayenne seal was used)
axle boots (both were torn)
coolant flush ($350 not as cheap as I thought intially)
brake flush (every two years)
02 sensors (did one previously, decided to do the 3 remaining --not cheap)
oil change (mechanic used Amsoil but I usually use Castrol Syntec these days, oil change needs to be done when doing IMS upgrade)
air filter (DIY)
cabin filter (DIY)

I want to say roughly $4,000.

also, my starter and altenator both failed or were about to. You have to budget those sorts of things too. That was about another $700 in parts and labor.
Prior to this the only other unscheduled fixes were throttle body replacement ($300). I change the oil every six months.

I'm still on my original rotors and shocks/springs. Replacing those should run about $2,500 at least. Nearly all work has been done by an independent Porsche specialist as the dealer would have easily cost me double.
