I brought yesterday my Boxster 987 (2005) for 30K service, my first service after I bought this pre-owned Boxster with 21K (kilometers) on the clock. The stealer wanted to replace so many things that it looked like I was being ripped of my wallet.

Their report.

Replace all tires as they are 2007/8 production date, however thread is still very good.
Re-flush brake oil due to age.
Change brake pads, while the pads are still looking OK.
Replace engine belt because the car is almost 5 years old..

Next to this they noticed some oil sweat and told me that the sealing needs to be replaced urgently. Well I have never seen any oil on the road/parking or seen any dropped level. Should this really be done as this is a expensive repair? Engines are allowed to sweat a bit right?

Further they noticed some crystals under the engine what they suspect coming from a coolant leakage. They told me that the coolant pump need replacement. Why the pump not the sealing I asked, well it was better. Nevertheless the drippings are so tiny why should I bother?

Any advise will be helpful for my wallet.

ps the car is mainly driven by my wife who doesn't abuse it.
