Hi All,

I was wondering for those of you with high mileage 997's (say, >75K miles), how are they faring? Do any of you have one over 100K miles yet?

As the current owner of a 01 CLK430 that i've put 160K miles on over the past 10 years with almost no problems (outside of normal maintenance items), and someone who is considering a used 997 with maybe 50-60K miles, how have your high mileage 997s been doing?

I have a 2005 C2S, I have 75K, and it is going strong. I stay on top of the maintenance and away we go. I had two earlier Carrera' but I keep them boxed and shined. I love this care and drive it everyday. I would suggest that if you find one have it thoroughly checked. I put 60K of the 75K.

Enjoy

I have over 103,000 miles. I ran it hard at about

15 to 20 days of track use and blew the motor at

67,000. I replaced the motor on a hard ship issue

and only had to pay labor for the motor.

The car does run hotter even after I cleaned out

the raditors. Besides that, the car works great every day.

2006 997S
