Coming up on my first anniversary of ownership (Feb 11). As of today I have 107,516 miles for an average of 7,819 miles per year since the warranty begin date (Mar 30, 2004).

Still running strong and looking great!



Here she is on the way home the day we picked her up. That’s my wife in her s5 next to our ‘new’ 986.

85k on the speed yellow 2000 986.....lots to do before my 15 year old gets behind the wheel of her.......clutch Probably do the IMS/RMS at the same time.

30k miles on the 6GT3......80% are track miles, she is not even plated. Engine is out for the 30k service and to weld the pipes.

28k on the '88 Club Sport. I know what you are going to say...."you should drive it more" but the crazy prices of the 28 in the USA have me taking her out less often than I should. She is pristine!

27,900 on my 1999 986 Boxster. I bought it last summer with just over 25K. It is still in pristine condition.

I'm not sure what happened when I attached that photo with my last post but I am unable to edit/delete it. Can someone advise how to do that?
Thanks.

'01S here, 152K and goes up every day. Two owners ago had the LNE IMS upgrade put in around 120K, I don't know if it ever had internal engine work done before that, but it runs perfectly and burns no oil at all. Nothing has broken on the car that wasn't already broken when I bought it yet, but I've only driven it 5K miles so far!

1999 Black 986 = 176,000
2001 Black 4Runner = 284,000
2006 Gold Camry = 190,000

All work fine but I’ve put more money in the 986 on repairs. 4Runner only thing that ever broke was one U-Joint.

02 Base just south of 170,000 miles - daily driver, not gonna win any beauty contest prizes, but sure is a blast driving her.

Slowly restoring her, kind of like a moebius strip or a sisyphean task, though.

I enjoy the process and try not to focus on getting to the "end result"

That seems to be the real joy for me with this car.

It's a hobby, an obsession, maybe even a "Boxster disorder" but when I come on here, I see that I am not the only one who feels this way.

As I read here and am making my mantra. "Drive more, worry less"


One question though, how do I determine if this is the original engine? Where do I find a SN and is there a database to match that against? I don't have complete records (I know, I know....)
