I'm a bit confused by the servicing intervals.
I have a 987 Boxster, which is just under 3 years old.
I bought the car from a Porsche main dealer when it had done 12,000. It was 2 years old at the time so they did the 2 year / 20k service.
That was just under a year ago and the car has now done a total of 20,000 miles since new.
Now I have reached 20k does it need another service or do I wait for 4 years / 40,000 miles?
Cheers

IIRC it's two years or 20k miles whichever is first - you've done 8k and one year since the first service, so now have 1 year/12k miles to go.

A little off topic, but if the C4S and Turbo have the same brakes - which IIRC was part of the hype - why the price difference?
