Servicing costs

[oat]

Hi all,

Just a quick question toying up the idea of either a turbo or C4S and just wondering whether a turbo costs more to service/run etc?

Many thanks in advance

You can get the Porsche service pricing from here:

Reckon on an indy charging 50-60% of those, depending on where you go.

Many thanks for this. So am I understanding this correctly? A MY2004 C4S only has to be serviced every 12 miles or 2 years (not the usual 12k miles or 1 year) and also doesn't need to have the annual inspection (if traveled less than 9k) even though a MY2002/03 C4S is essentially the same car?

Many thanks

That's correct - there is no annual maintenance for MY2004on.

Bizarre even though a post 04 model is essentially the same... many thanks for the advise

Bl00dy hell, that's going to be expensive on the maintenance !!!!

Seriously though, I would have thought that (anticipated) greater depreciation on a 4S over a TT would far outweigh the difference in servicing costs. I may be totally wrong on this, but that's my feel having been watching the prices quite closely over the last 18 months.

Very good point on both matters! []
