Total ownership costs of the c63s after owning for 50k miles!

Hey everyone!

Made a new video on how much it has cost me to own the 2018 c63s coupe after 2 years and 50K miles. Check it out and let me know if you guys have any questions on it!

Thanks!

My guess is... if you go to the dealership. 1500 for the rear rotors and pads, twice. 3600 for the front rotors and pad, twice. 1300 for a set of PS4s, twice. Plus 5 oil changes 200 a piece. Roughly 13800. Didn't even have to watch the video.

🤣 this guy.
I do everything myself, not so much because it's cheaper, but I've always worked on my own cars, from small things like brakes, oil changes to bigger things like full motor/tranny swaps to turbo installs.

I’m there with you. I’m 71. Disabled. But I still do all maintenance and repairs on my C63S and Macan TT.

However, I will let a REPUTABLE agency change brake, diff, tranny, cooling and transfer case (Macan) fluids for me. It’s for proper disposal.

Here in 5,000 miles when I reach 30,000 miles, I’ll be changing the plugs on the Porsche and TC fluid. The fluid change is preventative maintenance on my part.

Hey Bruce, At 69 with one hip operation and another in the near future, I've had to accept the fact that I can't do what I used to in maintaining my cars. I alternate the oil changes every 5000 miles. My oil change is when I use a vacume oil extractor which is very effective in removing nearly all the oil. Next 5000 miles its done by my garage which includes the filter change. So much fun blowing away Dodge Chargers and modified pickups at red light drag races. If only they knew I am old enough to be their grandfather. Stay young in heart!
