22k miles on mine. I just got a transmission leak and slight start of a RMS leak repaired on mine covered under Fidelity warranty. No issues getting the claim filled. They did need an appraiser to come check out the car b/c it had low miles, otherwise they would have just filled the claim.
Interesting note is that the RMS was redesigned according to my indy. I'm happy I got the updated one.

34,000 Miles- No issues-Just had a few interior parts replaced under warranty for the peeling issue- I bought the car with 16K miles-
I have not touched the Brakes. When should the pads / rotors usually be due?

my a/c switches also are peeling off. I have see almost every early model 987 997 have this problem. Dealership here in Taiwan won't fix it even i'm still under warranty. Do you guys just let it peel all gone and repaint it or what? I find this very annoying especially on this kind of expensive cars.

Oy, that looks bad. Thanks for posting. I have yet to see any wear on mine. Perhaps you can get in touch w/ Porsche directly and see if they can help you out.
Whats the reason the dealerships in TW are giving you for denying you a repair?

The motor went recently, had a 08' motor put in, paid for it outta my own pockets. Other then that, no rattles, noises or any other issues just a great car. My vent switch was also peeling, paid for a new unit as I couldn't bare looking at it.

How many miles before it went? How much outta your pocket to replace?
