Post your high mileage 997 here

Anyone over 120k? 150k? more? I'm at 42,000 now; she's going to be my daily driver in the summer so I expect to put ~10k/yr on her and ~10k/yr on my Audi which currently has 85k. I don't anticipate keeping the 911 past 75k but who knows?
(My little Toyota has over 300k, but not on the original engine anymore)

With 55K, mine is still a baby. While they may require some service, these cars age gracefully. I got rid of a 996 a few years ago with 70K on the clock, only because I needed something larger. It still ran and looked great, and had tons of life left in her.

OUCH! That makes me feel a lot better about my RS6 being in the shop for a month. I hit a pothole last month and blew out the right front shock and damaged the steering rack. I was able to get four new Koni shocks, all 8 front control arms, sway bar endlinks, strut mounts, and a low-mileage used steering rack for just under $1,500 with shipping. Now I just have to get all the labor done myself...

145K - WOW. I thought I was in the lead. I see I'll have to drive more.
Just a few weeks ago, on a quiet, sun-dappled road in Orient NY, I crossed 111,111. Last week I wen tform NJ to Chicagoa nd back so I'm now at 114K.
As previously noted, I repalce the water pump ~65k, battery cable (know issue) ~90k, cluthc at 109K and just had to replace the struts thanks to NJ potholes. I may be missing on eor two things but other than these issues, it has been mostly routine maintenance and a LOT of tires.
Having passed 111,111, my goal is now 222,222!
