Monthly Running Costs Porsche 911 - Total for September

Having bought my Porsche 911 on 8 August 2013, September was my first full month of ownership so this is the first complete monthly costs. The numbers are skewed by a trip to Germany at the start of the month which increased the fuel costs but there were only a few other costs in September.


purchase of Porsche 996 GT3 seats

Probably the biggest cost was the purchase of Porsche 996 GT3 seats. Luckily the cost of these seats was offset by the sale of the previous seats in the car so the net cost to change was only £50.

No other costs were incurred during the month so the totals were as below:

Fuel - £268
Seats - £50

Total for September : £318

Overall Costs:

Fuel: 374 litres            £532
Seats:                           £50
Parts:                           £100
Service/Inspection:     £240

Total Ownership Costs:

£922

Porsche 996 Running Costs 2013 - Fixed Price Servicing

Porsche 996 Running Costs - Porsche Centres Cut Service Costs - Fixed Price Servicing

I've found out from one of the Porsche Forums that Official Porsche Centres are now offering fixed price servicing for the Porsche 911 - 996 Model. This means that an Official Porsche dealer will carry out an interim / minor service for as low as £265 meaning that the running costs for a 996 are substantially lower than later models.

The Porsche 997 still has much higher service costs so it looks like Porsche centres are trying to tempt owners to stay with them for older models. Unfortunately our Porsche centre is some distance away so even at these lower prices it won't be that easy to make use of.
