They are extremely reliable cars, however, you just need to be aware that anything can happen at any time and repairs can be expensive. If your motor goes, it's going to be 10-20k before you are driving again, most likely well north of 10k. It will be worth it in the long run, just understand it could happen. I drove my car 150,000 miles over 18 years and it was extremely reliable, however we did need to get into the motor once for an intermediate shaft issue and it was a complete motor tear down at 90,000 miles.

@T2 - mileage update?

If he's been driving it, my bet he's close to, if not over, 800k...

T2

Hi all, sitting at 695,000 +/- at this point. Hope to get to 700k miles soon enough. Expected more this year, car was tied up a bit this summer with a finicky dme issue.

2fcknfst

What's wrong with it?

T2

needed to be replaced with a new factory dme...car was in limp mode inconsistently

2fcknfst

That is not good, what a PIA.

Hopefully good for the spring - we all want to see the miles rack up.

2fcknfst

Great job T2.

Lazurus

That is astonishing. Long may you run.

2fcknfst

Efficiently, without catastrophic engine failure.

Bravo T2 you are my hero ;-)

Whenever I read of this gentleman's car and its exploits, I stop thinking of my car as a "high mileage" specimen. I do think PCNA or Porsche AG should somehow award him in some renumerative kind of way.

At least a plaque or something!
