Would be interesting to include an amount for repairs mentioned.

Clutch,suspension,replaced parts, etc..
Interesting to see what the costs of repair and maintenance over the years and mileage.

I have a similar problem in my '05 997S - the trunk light only comes on some of the time when opening the lid (front trunk). The dealership says there is a faulty latch control unit with a short - the estimate was over $300 so I'm just living with it.

40,000 miles on my 09.

Only two issues: just had the high pressure fuel pump replaced and the adaptive sport seat control module replaced, both under warranty. Dealer (Carlsen) was really good about diagnosing and no hassle repair.

Okay...40K on an 09...think you are the winner! That‘s 13 trips from SFO to JFK in the last year and half or so. When you were little did you want to be a truck driver when you grew up?

Between my truck and car I managed 33,687 in the same time period...not counting my wife’s 993....I’m impressed that’s a lot of windshield time behind the wheel of a 911....

09 997TT...O2 sensor went bad, left bank (somewhere, CMS/Tubi race exhaust), Sharkwerks rectified that. Wasted my Ceramics rotors after 7 track days and rear tires...

I have a Canadian friend who just did Florida (Tampa) to LA, to Seattle, to Denver, to Chicago, to NYC, and back down to Tampa with his wife in a in a 997 TT cab, with Tubi CAT Exhaust!!!!

They took three weeks to do it...I’ll write him to get exact mileage.

i wouldn't say i've had problems, though a few issues: i haven't tracked the car though i've driven off road in mud and rocks for about four hours (apparently, there are a lot of folks in the midwest that live off of the grid--no paved roads, no electricity, no drinkable running water, the land of moonshine and muscadine wine); i do drive in the snow including that beautiful blizzard that took place in Washington D.C. this past year. now that was fun; and i regularly camp in it. i spend more time over 5K rpm than not.

@ 34K replaced water pump (under warranty)
@ 67K slave cylinder/master cylinder--something like that, the "nipple" fell off and went into the clutch housing. needed a new clutch assembly and slave cylinder (if i had purchased a porsche extended warranty, this would have been covered).
@ 75K replaced the cable that connects the battery to the starter (if i had purchased a porsche extended warranty, this would have been covered)
@ 85K replaced the crash sensor


i'm enjoying it!
