68,xxx on my 2003 S all put on it by me! It's had the IMSB replaced with an LN Single Row Pro at 42k, still on the original clutch. Added ROW M030 Sport Suspension at 65k, not because the original suspension was worn but because I wanted it. Also added an under drive pulley, Mantis deep sump and stainless steel flexible brake lines.

The 97 has 26700 on it with nothing major so far. The 09S has 28500 and nothing major either. I really enjoy these cars.

2000 s

Its truly great to see so many great boxsters with well over 100K miles

Mine is just about to click over to 100k. It is used every day thru the week and lives outside in all weathers, doesnt use any oil or water to speak of and is still wearing 90% of its original paint

Jay Leno summed it up nicely when he said Ferrari owners like to brag how low their mileages are on their cars where as Porsche owners like brag about how high their mileages are.....

I think this is down to the fact they are so addictive to drive.

How often do you see Ferraris or Lambos on eBay with over 100K miles??

Bought my pristine, bone stock, 2000S with 10,800 miles in June 2014. I've been putting 5 - 6000 blissful miles each year and it now has 28,500. It's still pristine except for one little stone chip in the front bumper. I've replaced a window regulator and the cap for the overflow bottle. Aside from that, it has just had annual oil changes, washes, and wax (did it last night). It's stored Nov - April. It is my dd from April through October. Even got caught in an early, but very light, snowfall the end of October. Plastic window and headlight covers still clear. I plan on replacing IMS when it needs a clutch. Love every mile, especially the topdown miles.
