Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I love reading about cars with extremely high mileage. Especially when they are still going strong and being used properly.
So who's got a reasonably high mileage Cayman or Boxster and doesn't mind sharing the numbers?
To keep a bit of structure let's stick to the layout below. Let's see who has them most impressive numbers.....
(Copy and paste the below and fill in your data)
Model: (E.g. Cayman S)
Engine: (E.g 3.4 DFI)
Model Year: (E.g. 2012)
Mileage when you I got it: (E.g. 22000 miles)
Mileage now: (E.g. 35000 miles)

Model: Cayman S
Engine: 3.4 DFI
Model Year: 2010
Mileage when you I got it: 25,672 miles
Mileage now: 34,795 miles
I'm really interested to see what the highest mileage anyone has got out of the DFI engine is!
Toby
Model: Cayman S
Engine: 3.4 DFI
Model Year: 2010
Mileage when you I got it: 12,500
Mileage now: 28,000
It has got faster since I bought it. At this rate, it will be a Turbo S by the time I sell it.

Thought this topic would have been of interest to a lot of people.
Clearly not hahaha
Gen2/981 S owners clearly don't drive their cars as much as they should!
TBH, you'd probably have had more interest in the thread if you had opened it up for gen1 cars and 2.7/2.9s rather than just 3.4 DFIs.
He has taken seriously the point that the cost per mile usually goes down the more you drive it!
Am I alone in my thinking that he's asking a lot for a car with 200k under its belt? Has it had a complete suspension overhaul, etc?!

Noticed this earlier whilst browsing Cayman's ...
204k miles, on a 2009 plate

Why would anyone want to do that sort of mileage in a Cayman, or any two seat sports car for that matter.

Why not? It's a better drive than any other car I can think of that would be bearable for lots of miles. Barges are for old men.

Why would it need it? It's only had 3 years for the rubber to deteriorate and perish, and I wouldn't have thought any of it would be under much strain doing the sort of driving it's likely to have been doing.

I love my cayman but the tyre noise and ride quality would get to me with that sort of mileage.
Panamera instead please!
I did 85K in my 987 2.7 Boxster in 3 years from new. Same again in my 2.9 gen 2 cayman. Now got 48K in my 981 Cayman so far.......
Tried the 'two car' thing some years ago with a new E46 330ci sport and a Lotus Elise.....much prefer one car that does it all!

Very personal thing - but with PASM and 18 or 19 inch wheels, ride quality in a 981 is exceptional for the type of car it is and well up with any vaguely sporting saloon. Tyre noise is, I'd agree another matter - and certainly on the margins of acceptability for a long distance car. P Zeros (mine are 19") can be very noisy and I'm going to try some 18" Goodyear F1s to see if they make a significant difference in this (or any other) department.
