40,380 on my 2007 C2, Just brought to the shop for it's 40K checkup....They are recommending changing out the spark plugs... they say it's usually done at 60K or 4 years......

 

This thread is full of awesome. Keep up the good work!

 

^^^ Okay, 13 months, 11,000 miles, two sets of RE-11's, two sets of R6's, two sets of pads, and yet again another set of rotors later since my original posting on 12.08.11. I've breached the 30K mark...and guess where its spent the vast majority of its time

2005 C2 hit 44,500 miles yesterday. No problems!

The reason I bought a Porsche was for it to be a DRIVER'S CAR. I like driving my cars instead of having it stored, just my opinion. Porsche is an experience for me. My 997 has 46k miles. I'm hoping to get over 200k miles. From the posts, it looks like there aren't too many over 100k. I know it's how you treat it and maintain it, but I wish there was more high mileage Porsches.

I just picked up a Porsche book on my Nexus 7, by Vic Elford when he first started racing a 911 in 1966 for Corsica. He asked about tools and spare parts for this rally. He basically replied, "But there are no spare parts. Porsches don't break."

I don't know how the reliability and longevity of the 997 engines are?

 

Did you ever buy the extended warranty?

I also have an 07 C4S, currently at 49K miles, and hoping for the same experience as you.

 

I just bought my 997.2 with 10,000 miles so I'm hoping it is as durable as you guys say.

 

05 C2 with 62,000 miles. Things switched out/replaced:

Faulty Front Control Module @ 20k
Faulty clutch switch/ignition control system @ 40k
New Clutch @ 56k (Also installed new flywheel, RMS and IMS retrofit)
Cracked Coil Packs, new spark plugs, new front brake pads and rotors at 60k

 

I think MDRUMS, Mike, has proven the 997.2 to be quite reliable.

 

I bought my 08 C2S about two years ago with 30k miles. I have 58k miles now. Besides basic maintenance I have replaced the clutch and the starter.

 

06 c2S tip, this is going to make a lot of you happy!!
got the car this May with 240900 now is @ 249200..
one track day in advance group @spring mountain in June with temp over 110
the car is perfect needs nothing!! thanks

 

So those are actually about two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) miles??????

Dang, and i thought the 3.0sc engines are the bulletproof ones!

 

Awesome! Post a pic of your odometer!

I have a 3.2 which I bought as a DD because of the reliability (and the top end had just been rebuilt).

I would really like to know how some of these higher mileage cars are doing.


05 C2 with 69K and had the engine replace by Porsche at 10,000 miles in June of 2006

According to the information posted here it has a newer engine with the updated ims

Hoping it will be reliable as I would like to switch it for the 3.2 and make it my DD
