Highest Mile Boxsters?
 
Who has the highest miles on a Boxster or BS? Just curious. Saw some posting 280k?

03 S 20,245 if this was golf I'd be in good position on the LB

03 S 148,xxx and counting. More is better. ��

FloridaBill search his posts. He was up to 320k miles two years ago on a 2003 if memory serves. He maintained strict servicing practices, appeared to follow the service manual by the letter....even insisting on the same dealership mechanic each time he brought it in.

197k on my 02 S. Just picked it up 2 months ago.

My son has my old 02 S. Currently at 167k miles. I still do most of the maintenance on the car.
- IMS replaced at 140k. Old IMS seemed to show no wear.
- AOS changed twice

So Stelan and Flores, are you guys still running your original dual row ims bearing? I just bought my first Boxster, a 1999 base with 53,000. I love the car. No issues at all in the 600 miles so far.

Ciao 11-01-2016 02:55 PM

WoW! My 01 S has 38K; it may be the last Porche I ever need

10/10ths 11-01-2016 02:58 PM

I bought a 2004 Boxster S "50 Years of 550 Spyder"......

Yes, it is probably the gas cap. I had the same thing happen last month when I replaced the cap with a Stant gas cap and got a P0455 cel. I replaced it with an OEM cap and the cel has not come back.
