Just wondering who's put on the most miles on his/her 997? any problems?

 

I have 32,000 miles on my 997S that I bought in September of 2004 and I had the transmission replaced at ~100 miles and the head unit replaced at ~31,000 miles. Otherwise, the car has been absolutely flawless.

 

73,541 miles on a 2005 C2S purchased CPO from dealer in July 2006 with about 15,000 miles. Clutch slave cylinder went out at about 40,000, otherwise not a single problem.

 

My slave cylinder went 40 miles ago. Forgot to mention that.

 

49k on my 997s coupe, 40k on my 997s cab. No problems what so ever on the cab, coupe had a new engine at 38k miles under warranty.

 

Why a new engine? from the 2 posts it seems that reliability sucked. I hope these are extreme minority.

 

The reliability of these cars is great. Mine was replaced due to the dealer not putting coolant back in after draining it, resulting in engine failure. Oh well, free engine for me!

 

So it looks like you finally found a new baby?

 

23K+ and over 7K w/ the VF Supercharger (OLD EVOMS) w/o a flaw!

 

31K and change, had a bad battery - replaced a front wheel bearing - probably getting close to a new clutch...battery and wheel bearing were both covered by warranty. Rick @ Newport Porsche has been great not other problems.

 

33k on my 2006 Coupe....got it with 21k....so far so good (but tires are expensive!!!)

 

I think Mercedes has the absolute record

 

39K on my 05 997S. New alternator under warranty. Otherwise, very reliable.

 

31K miles on a 2S Cabrio in 2.5 years. Two minor glitches with top & window. 1 bad O2 sensor. A full range of aftermarket engine bolt-ons since 9K miles, with 321 rwhp. Used as a daily driver year round.

 

what type of mods did you do? my base carrera has a dyno of 295 with mods.
