I do all my own maintenance on my 991.1 and it’s surprisingly easy. Oil change is probably the easiest of any car I’ve ever owned and 40k service is pretty straightforward.
The manual trans is very reliable.
Love Bosch. They just work and work well
I went with the b6 on my 08 boxster s it really firmed up the ride
That’s being said, I did a TON of reading on this and landed on using LiquiMoly 75w90 GL4+ and it has really helped with shifting.
I basically encounter the same conditions in winter as you do. After having driven many years on winter tyres (Dunlop Winter Sport 5), I switched over to an all-season (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6).
The benefits in my opinion are better responsiveness while turning in (less block movement of the thread) and the better longevity of the tyre, considering it has to somewhat withstand 30°C+ temperatures by design.
Changed soark plugs and ignition coils myself for $500 in parts.
I've looked online to see what the front brake pads and discs for my 987.1 Cayman S cost. Brake discs from Brembo cost 103 euros each and a set (4 pieces) of brake pads, also from Brembo, costs 65 euros, so in total the material costs 270 euros.
The reality is that Porsche's dashcam isn't as good as many aftermarket alternatives that are easier to install. If you still can, return the camera and get a different dashcam. It sucks to lose the money from the pre wiring but it's still cheaper and better than having Porsche install the OEM one.
You'd think Porsche's own dashcam would be integrated into their car interior, but really its just a dashcam they stick onto your windshield like any other. It's not better than aftermarket cameras either, and I've heard the software is poopookaka. All that for paying 5x the price of an aftermarket dashcam that looks the same with wires tucked in. Theres also the bonus of the crappy design blocking your view if installed as intended on the left side of the mirror, and if installed on the right as to not impede vision, looks absolutely horrendous.
