Post your high mileage 997 here

^^^ 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

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 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
