Your service may need to include

additional items beyond those specified for the 30k just because your car is 5 years old and has accumulated insufficient mileage to have those items serviced at the mileage interval.

Faced with the same situation (twice) I asked that the 60k be done sooner just because it included items that are normally needed on a time interval basis as well as those based on mileage.

Brake fluid change, transmission fluid, differential, serpentine belt are all things that come to mind.

Also have them specifically inspect the AOS and the front motor mount.

In Long Island I was told it would run about $ 1,500.00. After going through a $ 800 dollar clutch job I thought it was a bit much. Roslyn Motors. I will call the other dealers for the pricing of said maintenance. Could I have misunderstood the currency in which the service was being quoted? $ 1,500 pesos seem about right.

You should be able to get a 30K done at a dealer for $1300 or so, and for $600-$800 at a Porsche specialist. Just ballpark figures.

Just paid $400 at the local dealer last week on my 2002 base model.

Beyond my $400, I did choose to get the brake fluid flushed as they suggested (and MikeFocke lists above).

All in all, I walked out of there quite happy and with little damage to the wallet.

Thanks for all the great info, Now I'll be more educated when I take to the Stealer and get a few rates.
