98 Tip - 120k
02 S - 100k
04 CTT - 120k
Still in the stage of fixing things on the 98 & CTT due to previous owners' lack of proper maintenance, combined with normal wear & tear. The 02 S was rearended a few weeks ago and still in the shop sorting through alignment issues. So while it's not been a cheap few years, we enjoy all of them very much.

1999 Boxster 115K !

oc-boxster 04-18-2014 02:40 PM

My 02 S just hit 99,999 today. I'm not driving it anymore. Yeah right! Factory IMSB Replaced at 82,000 miles. Original was caught just in time, it was a single row, oil leaking, stage 3 failure mess. Glad I replaced before it failed completely, also replaced clutch, motor mount, water pump, thermostat, and a wheel bearing. Looking forward to the next 100,000.

Just about to cross 200,000 miles. Overall, car has been great. Otherwise only minor things here and there, nothing different than any other car I ever owned.
Very happy with my car, hoping to keep it up as long as possible. It still looks like it's Jo more than 5 years old or so.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1398211478.jpg

99 base purchased in Feb 2013 with 112k. 1 owner Good ppi and all service records. Had clutch and LN ims bearing done at same time shortly after purchase. Car know has 119 k on it and feels smoother and sounds better than my buddies 03 S. The 2.5 liter engine is smooth as silk and sounds great with stock exhaust. One lesson I have learned in my year with her is to let the pros do the work. I find I break things when attempting minor repairs and I'm somewhat mechanically inclined

Feeling a bit lonely? All those sub 50k mile '99s may never make it to your thread...

After extensive analysis I have discovered the single common element that leads to making it to a high mileage. EVERY SINGLE high mileage car is actually driven!!!

I bought my 2000 Boxster S with 111,000 on the clock. I have had to correct some poor mechanical work and of course I replaced the IMSB. I now have 125,000 miles and I drive it like I stole it every day!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1398274446.jpg

2000 S with 116K owned for almost 6 years (purchased with 76K). All routine maintenance done and a few other little items. No clutch WP or IMS work done.

2003 S with 105K owned since late January of this year. Clutch and IMS done at 80K.
Both are great cars.

2000 base. 100,510 mi. Purchased April 2008 @ 70,000 mi.
3 x water pump replacements. 1 AOS failure. Talk about embarrassing: Beautiful
sunny day in June. Came out of busy convenience store, started car, smoke totally
stopped all movement in parking lot. Zero visibility until smoke cleared, but only for a minute or so.
Have new Robbins glass window top. The installer my long time indy recommended is not interest in the job.
Really enjoy car. No regrets.

jotoole 06-16-2014 05:50 AM

Oh, yea. Original IMSB.

Not yet. Had planned to do a clutch and drop trans off to have this fixed but never found time. Things are crazy busy. Other than this, car is 100% great!!

nicecar 06-17-2014 08:31 AM

Lever leak
 
mine has leaked for 3.5 years ...on this forum someone puts new sleeve in old bell for 600 bucks. Was told 3 years ago that second will get notchey (which it is sort of?) then I would surely loose second all together! Still have not lost 2nd...seems to leek a little more after ln bearing install, maybe indy changed gear oil but I doubt it. Timco , how are you going to repair it when you do?

Had 2 trans companies say they can machine in or replace that bearing as they do old farm equipment which is obsolete and repair is the only option all the time. Even a local Indy said he could do that.

Worst case a new trans housing is $900.

dagdisco03 06-18-2014 12:24 PM

118,00 MY 2000 S, LN IMS, RMS and clutch as PM at 106K. Orig IMS looked very good with no oil leaking in bearing. AOS, water pump, t-stat, new top, all at about 95K. Next will be some rear bushings and shocks.

Car drives great and love every min of it. She still looks new and people are shocked when they ask what year it is they think it's a new car still.

Absolutely, the Boxsters are way more fun.

Hit 110,000 miles a few days ago on the way to Monterey CA for PCA Parade. 800 miles round trip via Hwy #1. 21,500 miles on rebuilt original engine.

Bonus Round: I have put 95,000 miles on my Box after 11 years of ownership. :)
