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
