with 4900 on my 03 im averaging 1633/yr. but i store it for 6 months so im averaging 272/month. i also wax it weekly during the driving months, so thats
approx 26 waxings. that equates to 1 waxing every 62 miles.

The way that people on this board care for their cars (impeccable adherence to the maintenance schedule, etc.), I see no reason why any of these engines, if driven with a bit of restraint, shouldn't see 200k.

I'll let you know in 10 years or so if that's the case.

seems like you are the leader in the mileage department so far..
what non-maintenance repairs have you had since becoming the owner?

1997 that just hit 94,000.. i only owned it for 8 mths bought it with 89,899 put roughly 5k miles on it in 8 mths. Keep in my mind though i live in nj and own 4 cars so hard to pick what to drive.. I own a 2007 mercedes rl, 2003 vw jetta, 1997 boxster,2006 h2 hummer.. The porsche is more babied in the winter expect for the last 2 days it has been 50 good enough for the top down. I am the third owner of the boxster and orginal owner on the other 3.
