Have a 06 C2 w/96,000 on the clock. I am the second owner. Replaced the clutch once, flywheel once, brakes once, a window regulator, water pump (under warranty), a coil pack (under warranty) and yesterday the alternator and/or cable, finally died. Will get replaced on Wednesday. I am a fanatic about regular oil changes (every 5,000 miles). Car still runs strong and I suspect it will for a long time.
In short, I would not worry about a high milage car if it has been well maintained.

Same here I have a 2005 C2 with 79k, replaced the water pump, at 60k did the spark plugs, and had the alternator cable replaced. I'm due for brakes and rotors next. Don't know why people looking at 911's fear high mile cars? I seem to think the longer they sit the more problems they will have later. Get out there and enjoy the drive!

picked her up
Picked her up from Philly last night and love everything about it . The road noise , feeling everything on the road again and the smell from the engine . The only thing that I was wondering about is the convertible top noise . I had a few 993 convertibles but never a 997. Is it normal to hear kind of a shifting, or creaking noise when on an uneven pavement? Like turning into a driveway or something like that? Otherwise perfect .....
