127k? A bit high.

People get too wound up over mileage on cars. They were meant to be driven, not left in a garage.

There have been Porsche's in my family since 1974. A few of them have been over 100k miles with nothing more than routine maintenance.

I sold my 993TT with 60k+ miles and it never gave me one day of trouble. My GT2 has 30k on it right now and I've never done anything except oil and plug changes, and I don't expect I'll ever have to either.

Porsche's are good for well into the 100k range with simple maintenance just like any other car... they aren't Ferraris.

Here's an interesting thread on this exact subject that T2 posted only a day-or-so ago:
