I'm curious how many high mileage 944's are around and are in use.

I'll start...
1987 944 N/A
233,105 miles as of 1/26/2011
Daily driven

I find these low mileages interesting. Given a recommended timing belt replacement every say 3-4yrs, this means a new kit every 6000-8000 miles. Means that the timing belt get changed more often than some people change oil in their daily driver honda or ford.

This would be so if it didn't sit in the garage, basically undriven (maybe once a year), for a good 10 years or so.

Within the last 5 years, it went from ~25,000 to the current 50,000. Sort of disappointing to be putting miles on the car... but I love every second of driving it and at least it's stayed in the family and still technically 1 owner.

I have a bunch of state inspection papers from over the years... pretty neat actually.

DHC6

184000 on the clock on my 89 S2.

V2Rocket

getting close to 100,000 on the chassis...less than 35000 on rebuilt motor though.

odurandina

131,979 just broken in.

CyCloNe!

Reimu

odometer broke at 174,458

So x>174,000

Arominus

I don't know exactly as the odo was broken for years. Indicated 57k but it was more than likely 157k when it broke, i fixed the odo a 2 months ago and am up to 61k indicated. Im thinking real mileage is over 200k.

I've been replacing a lot of worn parts however so shes getting younger
