Have heard of over 300,000 with the regular maintenance - 15,000 mile oil changes interval and was absolutely supprised - it is here someplce on the web - owner also never did the IMS - just reg maint. Hard to believe but everything on the internet is true.

I believe 200,000 miles / 300,000km should be decent - maybe up to 250,000 miles but one never knows - only 125,000 km on it now

I went for 300. I bought my car in 06 with exactly 60k, now I'm at 174k, so I've passed one mark, and am pretty close to the next.

I think the 200,000 mark is realistic for me.I hear a lot of good comments about the first year(2000) 3.2 S motor from engine guys and I did my IMS/RMS when I got my car at 60,000 miles.

I'm crossing my fingers at 200k
My minds schedule: (I'm already at 76k miles)
85k new clutch, IMSB, RMS (At my current driving miles that would be this winter)
150k new clutch, IMSB, RMS (This would be 6-7 years away 2021 - 22 - car would be 20 years old)
200k - replace engine - Hell everything will need replacement by then
@ 200k 2028 - There probably won't be gas by then. There won't be parts by then
This could be Mad Max territory
Porsche will be owned by Kia
