Spark plugs are expensive, but no different than MB and not too much more than BMW. Brake pads and rotors are a bit more expensive than MB but Porsche brakes are bigger than MB vs comparable trim levels so the higher cost is to be expected. If anyone is looking for cheap rotors they should buy a Civic.
Ordering parts (for DIY jobs) from Porsche dealers is the way to go. I try to buy from my local Porsche dealers but they are playing the scummy greasy dealer game with abusive pricing. Cheaper alternatives for genuine Porsche parts are available.

Thjat simple stuff is cheap, yes, that's why I use an indy mechanic. But things like engine mounts, cannot get them under $700 here, O2 sensors are exopensive too for example. Stuff just adds up real fast.
