Default How many miles do you have on your 911?

Before frequenting/lurking on this forum, I had always thought of the Carrera and Carrera S as the "daily driven Porsche". However, it seems many of you reserve them as weekend cars. That said, I'm pretty curious about how many miles you all are putting on your 911s. I've never owned a car that actually pains me to see the odometer go up

I'm currently at 9,930

Looking at used, I see no 991S's over 60K miles. Very few in the 40's/50's.

For any year 991 starting at 2012.5, anything over 20K miles is considered higher mileage on the used market.

With all higher end sports cars, it's not uncommon to see lower mileage. Many times buyers of these cars have multiple cars. Look at Ferrari mileage and talk about low miles. When you get to the $200K+ range. You have guys with more cars than time to drive them all.

Weekend toy. March till mid October. Then winter hibernation. I'll do over 14,000 miles this year. Last year I did almost 11,000.

Yeah, I haven't seen any with more than 50,000. I just added that range incase people bump this thread in 2 years like they did to that "net worth" thread lol

I did over 800 miles this past weekend. Did about 700 the weekend before. All to see the fall colors in Wisconsin along the mighty Mississippi. I'll do over 700 miles this weekend to go south into St. Louis wine country.

State Farm all ready to suspend coverage on 10/19/15. Then a couple weeks (working an hour here and a couple hours there) to do a full wheels off concours quality detail cleaning. Over inflate the tires to 58 PSI. Add Sta-Bil to the gas tank. Put the desiccant in the cabin. Plug in the charger. Put the cover on. Set garage heater to about 55 degrees. Wait till March Madness to go on a road trip.

New in October of 2012, 48K miles now, no regrets. Driven it to Colorado once, twice to Alabama, and all over Texas. The first 16 months it was my only car, I still drive it more than my MINI.
Life's too short not to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

I bought mine new, 2 years and 2 days ago. 13,2xx miles.

I drive it to work frequently, and an occasional trip to our house up north.
