Just got my 07' 997TT

I picked up my car a couple days ago. It's a 07' Blk Blk with 1400 miles. Car was only driven 3 times a year with oil changed once a year by the last owner. My service now light is on and I wasn't sure what the service schedule is on these cars or if theres anything you guys can suggest to do since it hasn't been driven the last 5 years. How much longer until I break it, when should I change all fluids and how much should this service go for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anthony

Welcome. Nice find!
I would change all fluids, as well as filters including gas and air. Check tires for flat spots or you may have tire balancing issues, and rack up some miles!!
I cant help you with prices, different market, too far away...

May be the brake fluid needs to be changed as well?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm probably going to take it to the dealer tomorrow see what they say. There so over priced though. I'm trying to find a good shop in town thats reasonable. How many miles until I can really open her up? 2,000??

Congrats change the fluids and put some miles on that thing. As far as break in you can reference the owners manual. Again congrats.

I would do what everyone else has recommended. I would not worry about break-in. Just go drive it. This will also be a good chance to build your relationship/trust with your dealer.
Welcome to the club!!

3RS4.0 is infamous around these parts
Congrats. Good suggestions here already. You might also strongly consider a new set of tires.
