I'm looking at purchasing a 2005 997s with 30k miles.
At what mileage intervals is the car in need of major service and what is the approx. cost?

Anybody hadany problems with this vehicle?


thanks

You have a service every 15k miles, with the major services being 30, 60 (this is the biggest service), and 90. I'd have to look up the book times on the services. The 15, 45, 75 are typically oil change, filters, and general inspection of the vehicle.

 

Porsche doc,

don't mean to contradict but those intervals are good for the 996 but the i have a 997 and the book says 20k, 40k.

 

Lol, you are correct, they did change the intervals on the services.

 

what does the 30 k service consist of? and what does it cost?

 

For the twin turbo, spark plugs are included, so it is about a 10 hour service. This requires the removal of the rear bumper, and intercoolers to get to the plugs. Oil change, air filter, cabin filter, read out fault memory, check serpentine belt, visual inspection of the entire car (which is too extensive for me to type).
