Not much. It is cheaper than servicing a Mercedes.

Very, very little. l could not give you an exact number, my father is the owner not me, but if you do the once yearly maintenance, the porsche wo not give you any trouble. They are surprisingly cheap cars to maintain.

regular service comes every 15,000 miles.. oil change costs 65$ including filter. dont let them change the pollen filter.its not needed (and l have a convertible so it makes no sense)
you dont rotate these tires. assymetric sizes bigger rears . you do need a new set about avery 35000 or so.
dont go cheap on tires...did that last time.

Costs will vary alot depending on exact model & how the car is used, & how often. And as has been pointed out, most Porsches r outfitted with different sized tires front & back, so rotation is not something that figures into the equation.
In terms of how much l spend? l generally change my oil & filter after every one to two track events (as this comes around quicker than milage or time intervals, & my general feeling is that a few hundred miles under these conditions along with other driving tends to mean it is about time. & this is one area where it is better to go early than late). As l do the labor myself, it is just material cost for 13 quarts of oil & the filter: ~$75, 3-4 times a year, for a total of $300. For a newer model, under moderate driving conditions, one such service a year may be enough (though cost will likely be about $150).
While l try to keep track of the brakes & other wear & tear items, l generally have everything checked over at least once a year before the first track event of a new year. Assuming nothing like the brakes need to be addressed, l will also go through brake fluid flush & items like this. Over the course of a few years l will also handle things like the fuel filter, air filter, valve adjustment, brake pads/rotors, etc. at this time. Looking at a five year average of costs, this is usually about another $400 for me. As my driving habits have much higher wear & tear rate on things like brakes & fluid use, & that newer cars do not need the valve adjustment, I'd expect these costs to be slightly less on average.
l generally get 20-25k milage from my street tires (much much less from my track tires). High performance tires will gain their higher performance at the cost of longevity. though there r some very good options that will last a while under normal driving conditions.
Generally, any Porsche is a pretty reliable car, & basic service is not too costly. though skilled mechanic rates r not cheap, & when parts do need to be replaced, there will be some costs connected to that.

As a Porsche owner of a 01' Carrera, without the average income of $350,000 of new Carrera owners, you have to find alternatives to service your car aside from the dealer. l found an independent shop that is very experience in Porsches, they do my service for about 1/2 of what the dealer would charge and the same quality. l do my own oil changes and other general maintenance, but for more complex services l go to them.
