My 2003 Boxter S has 52K Miles on it.. nothing major replaced (which is the main thing) and have only had to do regular maintenance. The car has always been leak free (oil, fluids etc) and no issue with the transmission. I have had to replace minor items that were annoying (p/side window regulator, turn signal stalk, climate control LCD screen etc.). The a/c evaporator box has lost it's foam, so condensation builds up and drips when the a/c is on for long periods (and living in Texas that's an issue!). I've been quoted upwards of $2,500 to fix it as it's very labor intensive.. anyone out there have any ideas on another fix option? Thanks in advance for any insight.! http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1500569633.jpg

2001S. Bought in 2006 with 19k miles, now at 93.5k. Runs great, never dripped a drop of oil---I've got the same big piece of cardboard on the garage floor underneath where I park it each day. It's as oil-free now as it was when I first put it under there 11 years ago.

Did the LN Engr IMS a few thousand miles back, when I had the clutch done.

The mileage on my current collection of Porsches are :

The '97 Boxster has about 119K on it. Just went through a couple of months of fixing the secondary air CEL. Ug, what a pain. But, I did finally get it fixed. Still runs great.

The '01 Boxster S has a little over 80K on it. Runs great too.

The '05 911 has about 60K on it.

The '08 Cayenne has maybe 70K on it.

Hmm, the 928 has 114K on it. Also runs really great. Interior is beef Jerky.

The two '68 have unknown mileage. The odometer only has 5 digits. One shows 33K, the other something like 45K. Both the speedometers are from '68 (stamped on them), so likely original. Just can't tell how many times they've rolled over.


Did I forget one?

2005 987
 
2nd owner, 96.5k miles, front brakes (+1/2 dozen convertible top linkages replaced)

Just finished a 1800 mile road trip and now at 95k+ miles. Did a lot of shifting through the mountains and stop and go traffic the last 2 hours in 95-100 degree heat. She performed without a hiccup.
She did leave a few drops of blood on the garage floor last night.
I'm giving her a good bath this morning, she deserves it and a rest

02 S SPEED YELLOW..........47,000 0n the clock. Changed the IMS 4 years ago when I bought the car with 32,000 miles. Runs great.:cool:

I have a '99 Box. Bought it with 64000 on it 3 1/2 years ago. Just turned the clock over at 110000.
I have changed the IMS out (didn't need to I found out, but sleep better). New clutch (the tranny was out for the IMS, sooo). Put in a new water pump, and had to replace the coolant tank. I drive it everyday and take long road trips in it.

That's impressive and good to hear. My 99 has about 112,000 on it and I think it has the original IMS, I don't see any sticker on it saying otherwise. Still runs and rides nice. I need to drive it more though, most of those miles were put on by the PO.

Filastein 07-26-2017 06:27 AM

58,000 on an 01S. No major engine work, few minor fixes/upgrades. Not worth nearly what I paid for it 13 years ago but I couldn't be happier. If the motor grenades tomorrow, I'll throw in a rebuild and keep smiling.

thstone 07-26-2017 07:55 AM

230,000 miles on the chassis. 104,000 on the current engine (4th engine).

Still capable of winning races. :)

150k - IMS by PO at 90k, again by me at 145k. Cracked head at 148k.

Lots of little (and some not so little) things I'd like to upgrade or replace.
