Replying to: dweiser (Oct 22, 2006 3:41 pm) dweiser,   $239.16. They charged me 1 hour of labor at $115 and the parts ran $26.67 for the filter and $79.40 for 10 quarts of Mobil 1. Taxes and environmental fees are the rest.   I had called up my local dealership after getting a $250 quote from a Pittsburgh dealer that would have given me a loaner car while I was up there a couple of weeks ago. However, the Pittsburgh quote included 1.5 hours of labor at $85 and included a more thorough 1-year inspection of the car, including removing the wheels, measuring brake pad wear, checking all hoses, etc and giving you a written report. I didn't realize until I picked the car up that the local dealer simply visually inspected the brakes and tires with them still mounted. So I didn't get quite the full 1-year inspection I would have liked. But at least I have the peace of mind that everything "looks OK" and the oil and filter are new.

I remember taking in my '84 911 Targa.. not too long after I bought it in 1990.. $83 for an oil change.. I just about died... I was getting my Honda changed at Jiffy Lube for $12.95, around the same time..   Times sure have changed...

#1052 of 2048 Oil change - thanks guys by dweiser Oct 23, 2006 (3:12 pm)
Took delivery of my P-car on 11/12/05. Called the closest dealer today and made an appt. for oil & filter change (and inspection) on 11/01. Was quoted $198 for oil & filter change. A few weeks ago they sent me some coupons, one of which was for 10% off an oil change so I'll save $19.80 looks like.

Replying to: newbe3 (Oct 23, 2006 3:40 pm) do you know how the exhaust actually works the mechanics of it..what does pushing the button actually move etc.   Honestly, no I don't. The sport exhaust on the "S" model has asymetrically sized quad tailpipes and I've been told that the airflow through the larger one on each side is increased via a baffle which opens up. But I have never seen a schematic diagram or detailed technical explanation of what happens. It definitely has a raspier and louder exhaust note.

#1056 of 2048 Order vs. New by newbe3 Oct 25, 2006 (7:23 am)
So its a personal choice on the SC and exhaust it seems but i like the comments. So with both are we faster? seems we need someone who has both for a comment.Also shall i order my s car with options about 4 months out or shop dealers on line around my state or out of state taxes are high in calif. but if i buy out of state i know some how they will ding me for money .somehow any one know how that works?
