If you search this forum for threads on maintenance, you should find quite a bit of first-hand info on service costs, major maint. costs, etc.
If you do all the maint. thru the dealer, it is expensive, no question. But saying an "oil change" at the dealer costs $800 is a major misrepresentation of what is done at the major maintenance intervals.
Porsche says change the oil at 15,000 miles or 1yr, whichever comes first. I don't know very many Porsche guys that actually do that. They usually change the oil much more frequently, maybe 7.5k or less. Necessary? Probably not.
My first Porsche was a '73 914 2.0. Of all the dozens of cars I have owned, that is the only one I would like to have back. Well, that and the '68 Chevelle SS396 ... and the SS only because I paid $3,600 for it brand new, and they're worth ten times that today.
