torn cv boots

[oc-boxster]

But my mechanic has snacks and soda in his lobby-I'm sad to hear it can be done at a lower cost. Unfortunately I don't have any space where I'm currently living to tackle the job myself-I thought the estimate seemed a bit high-it shows 110 in parts and 660 in labor-

This is a typical failure on these cars, and $760 for all four isn't highway robbery.

I'm not saying it's cheap, but it's a hell of a lot closer to "typical" than "highway robbery".

In the past I have paid way to much for all work done IMO. They always say pick up wrench on this forum,so as of late I have been doing my own work with great results! Tomorrow I install motor mount and exhaust. Looking in my records Brumos Porsche charged 871.82 labor 207.28 parts for the cv job. Ifind that diy is the way to go for everything if you have the time and tools. Yesterday I discovered how easy it is to change the waterpump on my outboard motor....stupid easy I cant believe it! Well any way enjoy the car and remember there is no such thing as a cheap Porsche, in the end you will pay. P.S. It aint the frickin space shuttle. Very easy and very fun to work on.

I have beer in my fridge...

I assume its a little more labor than a front wheel drive car (2.0 hrs) so... 2.5 to three per side on a boxster.

so 5 to 6 hours labor... typical dealer charges north $150 per hour.

so at least you are saving cost over a dealer.

No one says these cars are cheap to maintain. Its just that the typical boxster owner is...


well...







more cost conscience???
