Who has a high mileage 996?

I just hit the 60k mark and I wonder who else has a higher mileage 911. The car's been great thus far. I've only had it in the shop a few times for very minor repairs that were covered under warranty. I change the oil every 10k miles with Mobil-1 0w-40 and this time I will not only change the oil but change out my spark plugs, air filter and drive belt. Plus I�ll probably go ahead and flush the brake fluid and coolant since it�s been 2 years since I last did those. I can only hope my car is as reliable for the next 60k miles as it has been the 1st 60k miles.

74,000 miles and going strong.

I've got 100,000 miles on my '99 and still going (knock on wood).

Don't forget to tighten the piston ring bolts

my '00 996 had over 95k miles when i sold it last month. replaced the gearbox under warranty at 45k, other than that it was relatively faultless. i'm driving an '05 volvo s60 as stop-gap till the 997 arrives. compared to a volvo, the 996 is easiler to park, and is actually roomier with more storage compartments for day-to-day use--i miss her!

65K on my '99 tip and going strong no RMS either

76,000 on mine - drives better than new.

I had 51,000 miles on my 2001 before I sold it... only minor issues.

65K & running strong (even stronger with the mods ) and no RMS issues!

Riad, your scarying me. My 2001 C4 will hit 50,000 miles in the next couple days!

I know you said high mileage but what the hell, here's mine anyway: 15,500. Now that wife has a new job that requires commuting, my daily commuter now becomes the good ol'Eleven! Might even hit 25,500 by the time we close this year out!

I think your comparison to roominess is way off the mark. No way a '00 is roomier than an S60. You could park half the Porsche in the S60's trunk alone. I know because I have one of each...but no matter...let us know how you like the 997 when it comes in...I have my eye on one right now and I think I might take the plunge...good luck when you get her...

Just around the corner from 50k on my 99 C4. Never had any issues except for the darn RMS @ 42K.

No worries at all. The car never had any engine troubles, sans a bad alternator that was replaced when I had the car for 6 months. I have 20,000 miles on my 2004... I'll run it until the engine falls out... then I'll drop some serious pony's in her!

the 996 has more head room, leg room, superior storage in the doors, consol and armrest. mcuh better outward visibility (especially backing up). yeah, the volvo has a better trunk, but it should! the s60 is great, goes pretty good w/ the low-pressure turbo--no complaints there--and its great value! book says 30 mpg on the hwy, have yet to reach it.

We're kind of funny when you think about it...comparing a Volvo and a Porsche... Have a good one and take a few pics when you get the 997! Jim

I'm like the rest of you... drive the crap out of it, it depreciates w/ or w/o miles on it! So if you have 100,000 miles on a car and lose $20K in the selling price vs. the same car w/ 20,000 miles you're doing much better because the $$ per mile ratio has been good. You buy a 2005 and in two years have 3K miles on her and sell it you're still taking a hit... who did better??? I say drive!

Slightly OT since I own a Turbo, but the mileage isn't bad... https://rennlist.com/forums/996-turbo-forum/187826-200-000-km.html Greetings, --Pierre

I have a friend with a 993 TT with over 70K miles and it looks and runs great. The car is 9 years old and unfortunatley for me, my friend has no intention of selling it. I've been pestering him about selling his car to me for the last 2 years. Based on my friend's car, the 993 TT seems to be bulletproff.

45K 99 C2 minor issues only

65,000 miles.........zero problems. I let the dealer do the 30k service, which was a rip off. I have done everything else myself. Just put new front brake pads in.......

The S60 AWD that I had for 6-7 months had a decent driving position, a decent engine and was a decent car for the money. That was its porblem, it was just decent; quite fast though... I have had my 996 for a year now. runs great, perfect everyday car. Love it. No issues. It has 45k kms and I will keep it until 70k kms. Would I buy again. YES.

99 C2 45,000 miles, original brakes. No problems and no oil burning or leaks even with my boost.

98 996 72K miles just purchased but seems well cared for......... will use it daily and not worried about the miles, hey it was meant to be driven Mark
