97,000 miles on my 2000 2.7. Only changed a few ignition switches and a oil seperator. Love it. I bought it at 55k miles and it's my daily driver.

I'm almost to 91000 on my 99. It has the LN bearing. I've been replacing parts as I go. She still runs great! I think a starter is in order soon though.

98 with 98k miles

After driving the 2010 Cayman S I am really pleased with how tight the 98 feels compared to a brand new model.

replaced ignition switch
cleaned MAF
replaced some body trim
regular maintainence

My wife drives it every day and it is such a great car I am buying another one for me!

Good thing my 06 isn't a daily driver! I already have just under 34k on it!
No problems, at all.
My 2007 DD Mazda CX7 just got it's 120k maintenance - $564.00 so the Boxster's maintenance is not that bad, and it only needs one every 20k miles.

Talking

So far it seems I have one of the oldest and most high mileage car to reply on this thread.

Built June of 97... now currently has 145k miles on the 2.5 tip... still the origional engine and transmission.

Replaced the waterpump last summer, replaced the starter 6 months ago (bad solenoid), and now just developed an oil leak (soon to be fixed)

Other than general maintenance.... she runs strong and true ***Knock on wood***

Cheers
