I asked the dealer to include the Service Inclusive Package (Basic Level for 5 Years). As HFW mentioned, it is priced at about $2,500. If you want the premium version of this service is $7,500 (includes brakes, clutch and oddly, wiper blades!).

I asked the workshop in Melbourne how much it costs for the 2,000kms run-in service. Around $700 - $800 - Apparently, it is not just the inspection. They change the engine oil, transmission fluid (I think), diff oil change, etc.,).

However, how much it cost to service depends on your mileage and how you drive the car. They are all Conditional Servicing so the onboard computer tells them what to change now. The cost can be as low as $300 - $400, but it can be high as $2,000.

I would definitely find an Indi if I didn't have service included!

Thanks for the input - saw your thread on choosing between a manual and auto... I am in the same boat doing research between the two. Am definitely leaning towards the manual. I know it's not the same but I chose getting a dsg over manual for my golf r and do miss driving manual all the time (even tho the manual on the golf r felt terrible).

I see you're also looking at muffler options too haha.. that's the same with me.. I'm keen on the MPE but really have to find some local melb forum members to check it out. Worried it's ridiculously loud (I don't want to be that lousy neighbour annoying everyone!) plus i did hear it has some bad drone issues. Guess it's really subjective to what tolerance people have for these things.
