Oil change materials $100. CEL for secondary air came on but hasn't been back since cancelled a month ago.
Just more than a year ago, AC compressor changed out on extended warranty. $1800 job cost me $250.
Extended warranty expires soon. Hmm
Next year will need: coolant change, probably front motor mount, and possibly water pump as preventative measure. I see doing them all myself. If I have the money I might also drive down to Atlanta and see a man called Jake about an IMS bearing.

Maintenance and repairs? A lot. My car sees a lot of track duty and it is near 90k miles so I pretty much went through everything.
RF radiator and fresh coolant- $265
respray nose paint- $250
1 set pads and rotors (all 4) $1000
2- oil changes $250
2- Fresh brake fluid (Motul high temp) $200
3- sets track tires $2400
1- set spark plugs/coil packs ?
1- fresh trans fluid ?
1- fresh clutch fluid ?
1- fresh PS fluid ?
2 air filter element $50
2- cabin filter $50
Maybe $5000 last year total. I did some of the work myself and some was done by my trusted indy Porsche mechanic. Last year was very rare. Before this I really just changed the oil, filters and brake fluid for 4 years.
