Search for member T2, then sit back and be amazed at his story. Your car isn't even broken in according to his mileage.

71k here.

Another guy from Socal here has 110k orso and he still puts his foot in it

I saw one ad somewhere that over 70% of Porsches ever built are still on the road today. Not bad if it's true.

only 38k here - I always looked this way, if you take care of your car, he'll take care of you. I'm 100% sure I'm staying with Porsche forever, and never let it go, I put about 15 miles a day to work and back and love every min of it- sunshine or rain. I use my car year round.

Wow!! I found his thread on Rennlist! That gives me hope! Looks like a Tiptronic rebuild to freshen and hold power and I should be able to daily drive for some time

Last I saw T2 at Porschefest in Boston last September he had 374k miles. The car was in amazing shape and he hasn't had to do too much to maintain the car (other than normal maintenance).

I just turned 60k.

These cars are built from the best materials by the best engineers. Maintenance = longevity. I have had my car 190 mph and tracked it in summer heat. I use to blow the dust off with my buddies down Ozark back roads every weekend. I have never had a break down.


My point is use it, enjoy it, care for it!!

I have a 2003 996 Turbo with 105,400 miles on it and I try to keep the car mint!!! Transmission fluid changed as well as new alternator and battery about 4,000 miles ago along with all new rotors and brake pads along with a nice "custom caliper" paint job. I've also managed to put a new set of tires on a set of GT3( wide body offsets) on the car. The car runs like a true Porsche on the streets. These cars still are one of the most powerful cars on the streets.
