Oil change
Air filter
Cabin air filter
Spray down the MAF
Tire rotation
Looks like they're doing the BG fuel cleaner service which is just glorified seafoam
Plus some crisco on the broken sunroof and door latches
A handful of little things. Seems like a lot of money for that. I'd say maybe 450 would be fair if shop rate is $100/hr.
HA!
My Toyota dealership was $129/hr and here at Porsche we are $195/hr ($175/hr for classic vehicles). Hell, the Subaru dealership down the street is $170/hr.
Mercedes Benz of West Chester is $190/hr, Audi West Chester is $179/hr and the local FCA dealer is $135.

That does not happen here at least not to me. Here they tend to know what motor you have. Its noted by VIN and on the car unless debadged etc. I do know a guy who had an Audi dealer here tell him he had to wait for a battery for his A6 Wagon. He laughed and called ATU, the AutoZone-like place here, they had it in stock at a great price. Handed them the phone and said go get it! They promptly got another dealer to send one over. The battery fits 10 other models. They told him 3 days wait initially lol.

I’m save the manual all the way, but I would option a PDK 911 in a heartbeat... except maybe the 911T.

Look up the cost of upkeep on a GTR. It isJohnny_P wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:24 amAre they though? Mid 60k gets you one of the fastest vehicles ever built. Sure, they're equivalent to a previous gen Altima inside. And they're old tech at this point. But I dunno, they seem more interesting to me than a PDK 911 for no real reason other than Japanese built.
