The second one had 165,000 when I sold it on eBay for the same amount. I managed to put 86,000 miles on my Ducati race-bike until I totaled it. The MX5 I recenly sold at 153,000 miles. My Boxster is currently at 106,000 miles. -- peer |

Once had a 1984 toyota celica. I put 335k before i gave it to a friend...days later he killed it! idiot! |
I know this is for 986s, but my 987 has 5800 so far :D
|
My 99 just turned 33,333. I thought that was kinda cool but I am easily amused. Can't wait for spring to drive it. Too much salt on the roads here in Central PA.
|
2003S 35,235 miles daily driver. Touch of spring today in NY almost put the top down. No problems to speak of.
|
2002S 47K
I bought it "pre-driven" in Dec/05 with 19K on it. Hey, these cars are not meant to be garage queens. Drive 'em hard and drive 'em as often as you can. |

It's the 'extras' that get me: new wheels / tires, new gear shift, new e-brake lever, painted interior, M030 suspension, racing harnesses, fire extinguisher & mount, clear tails & corners, stereo upgrade, GT3 nose, racing pedals, the list goes on. by far the biggest expense has been tires. i replace rears about every 4K miles and fronts at about 7K. |
Got my 2000 2.7L last summer with 43K on it, it now has 57k and counting......
Ed :cheers: |
2005 - I have put 23k on it so far. I drive it every day and forego flying on business trips to drive this car whenever possible. I absolutely love it.
|
'00 986 S. 14,800
|
56k on my 99'
|
'99 with 94k, just got it 2 days ago :D

At what point should an owner start thinking they have more miles than they need?
I don’t mean to hijack the thread here, but when is it a good time to unload this car? I am happy to go on putting 15k+ miles per year on this thing until the end of time, but at some point, I imagine it would be more cost effective/ reliable to just dump it and pick up a new one. Any thoughts? |
'98 with 64k.
new motor in (warranty item with original owner) at 24k. All the other normal stuff (seat belt problem, coolant leak, bad O2 sensors) done under warranty by 1st owner too. I've owned it for 2 months now and only put 1 tank of gas in it. It's going to have an easy life with me at the wheel. |
How many miles?
I have 14,500 on my 01 986. I plan on putting 12K a year on it. It runs great, and is a blast to drive. Noticed some wear on outside of rear tires (Michelin Pilot Sports).
|
25K on my 2000. Just had its 3rd oil change. Also in need of some new Pilot Sports later in the year.
|
54k and some change on my 99 almost 5k since the supercharger install and no problems to report.
|
2003 base with 33,xxx bought it 3 weeks ago
|
2004S, now with 11K km or about 7K miles. And no it's not a garage queen...I drive it as much as I can! :cheers:
|
Hope for 200k
Carfax just sent me a 2001 Boxster that was just listed in my area; when I ran the report it was a one owner car that (at last reading several months ago) had 172,000 miles on it. Maybe more proof that these things just need to be driven...
