$1200 for 15000 miles maintainance??????

I think he meant your 15K service is $1200. Which probably includes oil change, flushing your brakes, air and pollen filters, and checking everything else.
I believe I got a similar quote when I was at 15K miles. He said I would have to leave it for the day. At $160 per hour and the cost of parts it seemed wrong but right if you know what I mean.

Yeah thats what I meant. Reaching 15k in my car...

Damn so much................. Might have to bite the bullet.

well you can have the oil changed and brakes flushed(which is a yearly thing). And do the air filters yourself.
Ask for the quick inspection (couple of hours instead of all day), the ppi which people get prior to buying a p car.
That should be about half the cost they quoted and will give you a little more piece of mind.
The Boxster is not a maintenance heavy car as many think and the dealer wishes it was.

Tell the dealer you'll pay the money if you can watch....

I'm guessing if you don't, they will complete the job in less than an hour.

I would do some more checking around. That sounds waaaayyyyy too high. My 45k maintenance cost $2200, but that included new brake pads and sensors, replacing a bad power window regulator, worn out sway bar links and a bad rear wheel bearing. My 60k service was routine and cost $888. Of course I did not go to the dealer, but to RUF Auto Center since they have the best Porsche techs in Dallas.

Wow, that price is almost funny. I completed my 15k service in about an hour for about 150 dollars.
