Oh yeah! This is true also. Oil change - $125 on average.

However, the engine and tranny are extremely reliable on these cars, but point is very well taken. Suspension and brake mods tend to be about the same as subaru, but touch the engine and ouch!. A new replacement motor from the factory for my car ($25,000 min.) Even a used motor from a salvage company will run me $10,000! Fortunately most porsche motors are good for 200,000 plus (don't do the math on $125 oil changes every 3,000 miles)

11 quarts of synthetic.
Exactly!!! but as long as you drive the car and take good care of it(Which sounds like you do) .. you should be ok .. (Ofcourse this applies to any vehicle).. It's when you let them sit for a while that you run into problems

.Ps: Excellent choice of color ..
