I hear that the car is bullet proof but the highest mileage I've seen on a 996TT is 28K. I'm interested in purchasing one but want to drive it a lot, any thoughts?

 

How many miles did you have in mind? The Turbo holds up very well.

 

Pierre in Europe has 200,000km or about 120K on his.

 

Yeah, I thought I read something about a TT with 200K miles, maybe it was kilometers though, either way, they didn't seem to have any major issues.

 

I drive it a lot...rain or shine...street and track...8200 miles in 5 months. Mine ain't going to be a garage queen!

 

Thats great, I plan to drive it 10K or more per year for two years and then move on. Trying to decide between the Turbo and GT3. I should probaby have SYA (save your *** aka PSM) but..... I like the N/A purist focus of the GT3 and they seem to hold their value as well as the Turbo.

 

65k on the Turbo.

 

my good fiend puts 25-35k + miles on his per year easily. Drives it everyday all year round w/ snows in the winter in New England. and he drives very hard very often. He has had no problems beyond normal wear and tear. Its built better than the mojority of cars on the market, ne reason you can't rack up the miles if you don't care about the added depreciation. He certainly doesn't.

25,000 miles in 2 years. Follow the maintenance schedule and it will be fine. You are looking at a set of tires every 12,000 miles or so, at least the rear tires that often.

 

11k and change I hit the one year mark July 4th weekend.

Daily driver with no issues.. Knock on wood..

 

Dave W - thanks for the lead in......I have owned my 03 X50 for about 20 months and it has 57,000 miles on it - you've got nothing to worry about - drive the car - it's meant to be driven year round - best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!! T2

 

mine has over 3k , the past 6 months ive alreaqdy racked 5k miles on it.. and i drive my car every day... it aint no garage queen for sure

 

Xico has over 75K miles nad drive it everyday very hard. No problems. .

 

I hear very few people complaining about problems arising from actual driving. On the otherhand, my service rep tells me alot of TTs have problems due to being idle. My TT hasnt seen more than little less than 4 K a year so I guess it s a queen. But so far no problems at all. Overall Id say it's solid craftsmanship throughout.
To my defense, I say that I'd drive more if I had the time. Unfortunately, 80-90 hour weeks leaves little downtime.

 

Closer to 8,000 miles for the rears per year.

I've got a little over 29,000 on my '01 turbo.
