Question How many miles you got? (prefer to see higher numbers)

I was wondering what amount of mileage everyone got on their cars.
I recently purchased my first porsche with high miles (in my standard) and wanted to hear others' with higher mile going strong.

I know the key is to do all the maintenance but.....convince me that my car will last LONG time

I'll start with mine.
1991 S2-112K miles.

112K is about average, if not lower mileage for a later model year 944.
A lot of the cabrio's sit out winter so yours has been driven. Thats good-
These cars are meant to be driven.

I'm about to turn 117K- commuting 60 plus miles a day now.

I sold mine with 150k on the odo. I ran as well then as when I bought it with 43k. I would have lasted forever if the next owner hadn't rolled it on the interstate.

175,000 on "Herbie".

Down for maintainance right now. Just replaced the oil pan gasket, rebuilt steering rack and pump, A/C delete and some body work. Can't wait to get the little bugger back on the road. ~30 mpg and I can use regular gas!

Did a CR test 2 months ago and got 160+-5psi.
