141,817 on my daily-driver / race car as she sits on stands in the garage tonight.



Maybe I should check the Variocam?

133K on mine....Just got back from a 1200 mile road trip and it ran smooth the whole time (and the trunk holds more than you think!)

182K on Dory (named by wife for the ditzy blue fish with big eyes in "Finding Nemo")...bone stock daily driver.



I love this car! Smog test technician earlier this year: "This is cleanest burning used car I've ever tested...even better than a lot of new cars."



Having clocked over 400K miles with original motor on my Acura Legend, I am fully convinced 300K miles on my 968 will be easy. Actually, I don't know the limits of alusil or piston rings that run on it....might even go further.

About 124,000 on mine - almost half of it in the last 2-1/2 years. Going strong, still causes the smile effect.

I've actually driven that car that has 187k on it. It's in very good condition and drives well, but I'd be a little hesitant to buy a car with that many miles, even if it is a 968. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



On the other hand, I know of a fellow that ~315k miles on his 944, and hadn't changed his oil in 25k miles. He wanted it to die so he could justify getting a new one, but it just wouldn't die! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
