Pretty impressive seeing the high mileage. A fellow in the Orlando Porsche club has close to 400,000 on his 98 986.

Hi JPBJR, sounds like you have a great example of the 986 550 SE. If you would like, feel free to post you details and pics in our 550 SE thread:
Official 2004 Boxster S 550 Anniversary Edition thread
Not trying to be elitist, just trying to see as many 550 SEs as possible in one place

1997 chassis has about 240,000 miles.
The original engine failed at 204,000 street miles. Then the car was re-built as a race car and a used replacement engine installed.
The current engine (#4 since becoming a race car) has around 100,000 street miles plus another 70 hours racing. I don't know the conversion between hours of racing and equivalent street miles but my guess is that the 70 hours (near or at redline) is close to another 70,000 miles on the street. With 70 hours racing already, I expect it to fail sometime in 2018; but who knows, maybe it will make it to 2019!

Just bought a 1999 with 180k miles. Not certain the engine is original. I need to investigate that. The car is in amazing condition for miles and age. It was cheap and we plan to drive the tires off it until something craps out. I'll keep proper care of it and hope it turns 250k before something like the engine needs rebuilding.
We've had a couple of Silver 986's over the past 15 years. This one is the red-met or burgandy, love the color!

Coming up on my first anniversary of ownership (Feb 11). As of today I have 107,516 miles for an average of 7,819 miles per year since the warranty begin date (Mar 30, 2004).
Still running strong and looking great!
Here she is on the way home the day we picked her up. That’s my wife in her s5 next to our ‘new’ 986.
