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.

She turned 100,000 miles this morning
I was going to make it more memorable but there was a cop behind me so she was only doing 45 mph.
Anyway, 100,000 miles and only new brake pads, new clutch at 95,000, new water pump at 65,000, and 2 new window regulators. Plus the service that I did, learning from RL and renntech.
Thanks to the RL community for helping me to understand her and keep her out of the shop.
Happy motoring!!
I always had a mental issue when my cars hit 100K. Becasue in the USA it has been pounded into our heads that at 100K miles is such a bad thing..... However my 928 has 180K and the 996 has 105K.... Now you can just continue to enjoy it and not even care what the odometer says anymore.
When I had my 944 it had 150k miles and still looked and performed better than vehicles half it's age with much less mileage.
It's all about maintenance and actually caring for a vehicle. The mileage means nothing if it is not abused. Look at how awful some rental cars look after just 10k miles!
I'm at about 84k on my 996, so 100k is not too far away for me either!
I agree!
if I get another p-car it will be in addition to the 996, not a replacement. its just too good of a car, too drivable, too good as a DD and too fun at the track... anything else would be a weekend "sun toy" like an 80's Carerra or Targa - hey Marc, you are pretty smart
With only 33k mi on my P-car, it's going to be awhile before I hit 100k...lots of smiles and grins coming up to get there - way to go on reaching that first milestone.
AND your RMS, IMS, PMS, DVD, NAV, RCH (that's one of those acronym things) and last but not least *** didn't break!
WooHoo
WooHoo
WooHoo
Cool beans is all I gotta say. I'm pushing 77K and 100 is right around the corner.
Congrats Pat!
Here is my thread when I crossed 100k in '07. I call BS on myself with the amount of oil burned.......

Well, to be quite honest, you are one step ahead of me.
When they see me pull up on my Honda, they chuckle and giggle.
When they see me get out of the car, they start rolling on the ground and holding their sides because it hurts so much to laugh that hard!
I could not agree more. I have 111k miles on my 2001 Jetta. People are shocked when they learn that it is almost 10 years old and over 100k miles.
If you treat the car with care (cosmetic and mechanical), it will pay you back over time. I would not be looking for a replacement of my Jetta, except for the fact that we have grown our family and need something a bit bigger. The next owner will get a great car.
61k...1month of owner ship, 1k miles, 1 coolant bottle, 6 sparkplugs...10qts Mobil 1....and tons of smiles....and new wheels and a set of H&Rs in garage.....
Congrats on breaking the cherry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job...I crossed 100k last year. Same choice in oil, no major issues so far. It's a 2001 and people have asked me if it's the new model. Enjoy the next 100k...
