    You have a serious comprehension problem ........ learn to read FFS

    The major service to pull the engine out change the cambelts and replace all fluids is far less than $3k

    I'm wondering if Phil is posting on his behalf, actually. Just like Phil, even when faced with the facts, he continues to claim he's right!

    Also, since when has a water pump been included in a cambelt service as well as an oil change ??

    Those items alone drop the service below $3k so I suppose again I'm technically a liar so I better throw in a bag of jelly beans to make up the difference :p

    That is very good value, but you’re pushing the boat a fair way out if you think 2014 is the same as 2018.
    Surely you could add $500 at least to that number now.

    Still good, mind.

    true....however, even at $120ph, it's less than $2000 labour for an engine out belt change/major service...AT TODAY'S RATES.

    Parts are a few hundred dollars, so still less than $3k TODAY, unless there's something wrong with the car. Once every 5 years, btw....over 5 years, the difference in service costs between a 355 and 360 is negligible. With either one, if something else is wrong, watch that $$$ amount go through the roof. 360 owners hate hearing that though. You also don't need a suspension rebuild every 10 mins with a 355.....but I digress.

    I just dug out the invoice for my last engine out service in late 2015.

    Just under $4400, which I thought was very reasonable.

    At the end of the day, if you do it, say, every four years that’s not much more than $1k per year.
    Hardly the stuff of the nightmare ownership crap that certain journos and other clowns like to play up.

    If you’re not prepared to pay a couple of k a year for maintenance stick to a Porschezzzzzzz....

    After reading through this my 328 has been dirt cheap in comparison in the 10 years that I've owned it,,granted I did two belt changes myself though so we're not comparing apples to apples..(but I do recall being quoted $1500 to do the belts/bearings..)
    Parts for that were around $400.....$100 on a set or iridium spark plugs,$400 for a set of new ignition leads,$50 on the air filter,
    $35 oil filter, $60 for 10 litres of oil,$100 brake fluid/coolant..$800 for a set of new tyres(I'm up for a new set now)

    Things on the 'to do list' are suspension refurb which will include suspension bushes and a refurb of the shocks..
    I have 80% of the parts for that job but just need to find the time..
