We talked for a short period of time and I offered to give him my brother's wheelchair. The problem is that he lives in Alaska. I boxed up the wheelchair and went to UPS to have it shipped, and the cost in more than $400!

Any ideas of how to ship it in a more cost effective way?

We also talked about waiting for him to come back to SoCal so I can give it to him and he could use it and take it back with him on the airplane.

Thanks!
It's a lovely gesture, but that oil change on the Panamera is around 400.00, isn't it ?
UPS quoted you consumer rates.
If you know anyone with a business that has a UPS or FedEx account, they most likely get a 30-40 % discount.
Or, you could skip an oil change. Those synthetics last a long time.
Good luck.
