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

Um, ok there is a slight chance I did not hear the number right because the phone was cutting off but I am 95% sure the service manager said that they do 130 checks and stuff like that for $1200?

I definitely want some stuff checked but I dont want to pay so much. For example I dont mind paying for oil $80 or even $100 even though I know its a ripoff I'd rather have my mind clear.

Am I going crazy?

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.

*starts saving some money* :barf:

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.

It does sound a bit high. Just ask them what exactly they are charging you for and to break down the $ for each part + labor.

Z.

Definitely seems high. I take my car to the dealer for maintenance, and I paid $500 for the 45k service (which is essentially the same as the 15k) and $800 for the 60k service (which consists of a few more items than the 15/45k). And even still, I think those numbers are probably high due to lack of competition in the area.

You should shop around and find a better deal.

My 15k service was $530 at the nearest dealer. And that included flushing the brakes - not part of normal 15k, but I had it at the 2 year point. $325 was labor.

Same quote from dealer I bought car from.
