How many miles is your 986?
 

I was watching the International Auto show on Speed TV and behold was a 96 SAAB Turbo on display with 1,000,000 miles! Original engine etc, etc.
The previous owner called SAAB and they were delighted trade in his old 96 for 07 for free! free!

I think it was in Autoweek, I read if you are the ORIGINAL owner of a SAAB with over 1 million miles they will give you a new car for free!

actually i have just under 5k on my 2003.

2001 986 50,160miles.....

Ya I don't think anyone on this forum is going to hit 1million miles with their 986 :D

2004 986S 17.2k miles since April 04 :)

your car is a lawn ornament.
life is to short, enjoy and drive it like you stole it!

I agree :)
That's 3475k a yr., 1737k a mo., 435 mi. a week, 62 mi. a day and 31 miles one way trip....for 8 years that you've own it :eek:

No wonder you bought the Benz' coz you haven't experience the real power behind the seat of the Boxster ;) j/k :cheers:

I have a TIP Box and last weekend, while driving, I put it on Sports Mode and after clearing every turns, *I let it shift by itself at 5k rpm...wohooooo :D :D :D

*thanks to the D/E Instructor who said that I could do that on the TIP Boxster

Looks like I'm the winner so far -- 97 w/ 69k. Driven 4-5 days/week.

MY97 with 99k on it. I don't want to win this contest... I wish I had a far newer S with no miles on it! :ah:

'99 w/ 110K. Still runs like a Swiss watch. My G35 is the lawn ornament.

Huh? 8 years and 13,900 miles is:

1,737 a year
144 a month
33 a week
around 5 a day...

or is my calculator battery dead too? :D

1997 986 106,000 miles

I knew that there's was something wrong with my calculation..hehehehehehe! the numbers are close but the months, year and week are off big time :eek:

OMG...5mi. a day :barf: I would die :troll:

You think that is bad, my friend bought a 2000 S last fall with 6100 miles on it......

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.

my 1999 has 147000.

If Im reading this right...Gary you have just become my new hero :D

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. :)

2004 BoxsterS 16.666 miles - cool number? ;)

Loving it.

Long way to go for my '97...18,756 miles as of today.

2002 S w/ 37K



Does the car ever get to running temp?!

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

LOL,it does

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.
