How long can a boxster really last?

[PlayersExpress]

Realisticly, vehix isnt the right place to be making an inference from... there are a ton of older high mileage boxsters out there, you just have to look for them.

I have a 1997 boxster pushing almost 134.5k miles.. i bought it May of 2006 with 92k miles on the clock.. it has been my daily driver ever since.

Talking about keeping it running, yes it is a pain and it does seem like every few months something goes wrong. Point taken, parts wear out from use and it is a Porsche.

To me, the car is reliable enough to be a daily driver, in my opinion more reliable than a ford or chevy.. even a toyota or honda with compareable mileage.

I plan on keeping the car running for at least another 3 or 4 years until im out of college when I can afford to by a newer 911.. and at the rate im going mileage wise, I would expect to hit around 170k-190k miles or so.

Cheers,

Adam

Right after I replaced the motor, the transmission, the coolant tank, the instrument cluster, the sending unit, the entire suspension, the bearings, the wheels and tires, the brake lines, disks and pads, most of the interior, and a dozen other things I can't remember, the car became as dependable as a Toyota!

BTW, I will own my car when it hits 200k or far more. I did not graduate from college and my wife says I can only buy a newer Porsche when she dies (using insurance money) and she's real healthy.
