My Box has 109,000. I have put 3,000 miles on her since November when I got her. I simply changed the sparkplugs, filters and all the fluids to start. She has great bones and I drive mostly highway speeds in excess of 85 and that car is made for those speeds. One thing, I always warm her up, and never rev past 3,000 until she has hit her normal 180 operating temp. I check levels all the time and shake my head at how well the box holds fluids...what a beautiful german car for $10,000. Hard to beat really. Good luck, my advice is to find a box with a really good top and window unlike my girl. I plan on changing the window myself, and I will keep everyone updated. Less of a headache with a good top.

I only have 80K on my base 2000 boxster so far, but I just put 4,500 miles on it in the last week and a half. I am quite impressed what a good highway car it is.

Almost 106k now.

2nd engine (done by PO, thank goodness)
2nd transmission (all mine, thank you very much)
+ more repairs than I care to recount.

Any car can run forever if you dump enough cash into it. I am proving this theory as your read this reply.

But I'm a happy village idiot, that's for sure :dance:
