My 97 just turned 81,000 very reliable and trouble free miles (except for the water pump I just replaced last weekend $165 reman pump). Looking forward to 100,000 and beyond.

Good to see - gives me hope for my '97 with its original engine on 78k.
I'd love to know some actual numbers on engine longevity - for instance, if an engine makes it to 60 or 70k, does that really mean it's passed through some kind of critical danger zone. Obviously these things can grenade at any mileage, but I bet there would be some interesting trends if we had access to the real numbers.

the Boxster is definitely built to be driven!
I wonder what the ratio of failures to 100,000 mile cars is...bet it's favorable
BTW, I'm at 133,000 and going.
AX every weekend for the next three Woo-hoo!

The speedometer reads about 8% high (e.g., speedometer reads 60 mph while gps says I'm really going 55). I guess the odometer uses the same information and is also about 8% exaggerated. I get this degree of error comparing trip odometer read-outs to google map calculations of the same routes.
So while the odometer reads 100,000, I reckon the car has travelled only about 92,000 miles! I'll have to take another photo at 108,000...

speedometer
The speedometer on my 2000 base boxster with 17" wheels matches dead on with my Garmin gps speedometer other than a couple second time lag when changing speed.
Of course, they may both be off.

The odometer is spot on, the speedo usually reads about 3 mph high. Your real speed can be read on a PST2 or Durametric (by a passenger of course).
