SERVICING - OMG HOW MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what can I say 
how much for that again
ex-squeeze me
you are joking
can I pay that monthly
do i get clubcard points with that
do you take small children as part payment
and this isn't the BIG service
can i spread payments over several credit cards
do you have the number for purple loans
as you've probably guessed ive been given an indication of my first service bill.
and it's F O U R figures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I assume it's *more* than a service. i.e there are things wrong/worn out etc.
Or is it 4 figures just to change the oil, a few filters and some plugs?

Were you warned of this when you bought it?
We just had my wife's scoob serviced and it needed a few bit and pieces as well as some discs and pads etc and the bill was nearly £600. So for a Ruf i'm not surprised.

Hawk,
just think of my mate's predicament...he borrowed my Toyota 4 x 4 , overfilled it with oil, all four pistons shattered mashing the engine internals and cylinder head and destroying the turbo.
I have just got the mechanic installing a new engine and turbo as we speak and sending the bill (£3000) to him.

needless to say he didn't get very far in it.Me and a couple of the other locals ended up putting a £150 motor from the scrappy in it for him
Back on topic though, 911's of that era are a pita to service anyway, before you put all the nice ruf toys on them, I thought £1600 was quite reasonable meself

Don't really understand the thread....these cars do cost a lot to run.
I have a 996 Turbo, coming up to its major service which I know will be well well well over £1k, hows about £2k for a clutch, or a battery for £150 ?
Spark plug change takes an OPC 4 hours labour (@ £100 per hour !)& sometimes involves removing the rear bumper......I did my homework before buying so its no shock to me.
But I agree...its never nice to have to pay it !

A few years after the McLaren was released, I remember reading an article about those owners who would now have to MoT them. McLaren did the prep and MoT work - at 10k a pop.
Always put me off buying one *cough* *cough*

Just smarts a bit especially when I only do about 6000 miles per year in it.
