high mileage boxsters?

1998 2.5L with 83k miles, 2nd owner, well maintained, stock original motor, trans & clutch, and never a drop of oil on the garage floor. She now has about 25 AX/track days with the only significant expense being tires, brakes and gas. We just did a thorough inspection on the whole car and she came through with flying colors. Still quite a sweet ride.

I have a 2002 2.7 manual with just under 80,000. I have put on 16,000 of that as the second owner. All original equipment. The only repairs I have made are a brake light switch, replaced the A/C display, and a right front marker light bulb. Runs great. Accelerates in 5th gear like no vehicle I have ever driven.

As for oil leaks, to quote Johnny Bench from an old Krylon Spray Paint Commercial, "No runs, No drips, No errors."

We've seen several with higher mileages. We've done valve cover re-seals on some, a starter or two, head gaskets on two, lots of water pumps, an alternator or two, plenty of clutches but generally the cars seem to hold up well. Only concern for a car that is running well is the IMS bearing, which we recommend updating with the LN part.

and a daily driver. Heck he has taken it on 5k+ trips after 200k. No work inside the engine.

So can your car go on forever? Darn near. He changes oil every 5k and pretty routine stuff other than that.

2000 S with 124,xxx miles. I bought it in Feb '06 with 60,000 on it. I change the oil every 5,000. I've added headers, guttted the cats, and opened up the muffler (the sound is phenomenal!). I also added an EVO intake with AEM dry-flow filter. The struts were replaced with K-sports, and I've got R-comps for AXing. There are a few other mods here and there.
I've AXed the car for 3 seasons, winning the Boxster class with the local PCA, and finishing in the upper third with the SCCA and another local organization. No babying here.
She runs great, doesn't use much oil, and hasn't given me any headaches other than the expected stuff: AOS, CV boots, MAF. Oh yeah, original coolant tank and clutch!

2005 2.7L with 76,600 miles. Basic maintenance and one AOS replacement.

The car's still a blast to drive and driven nearly every single day as it has for the last 4+ years.

I don't know if it is considered high mileage but here we go.
2002 2.7 5-speed. 87k miles. Its my DD and It sees all kinds of weather and driving conditions. Havent had any major probles yet... Knock on wood.
Just replaced the AOS, RMS slowly leaks, CV boots are starting to crack (this weekends project). Clutch biting point is prety high but doesn't slip yet. Fairly reliable car so far.
