15,000 mi, no wait a minute, I mean 115,000 mi. No, I only use those numbers if I'm selling on e_ay. Third trip around and reading nearly 15,000 mi.
Engine novice rebuild at 155,000. Runs strong, but getting a whine in *** end. Just replaced rear wheel bearings. Paint still nice.

1989 N/A A/T, 153K miles and rock solid. Other than maintenance the only major repair has been a new radiator at 145K miles - and even that's not too expensive considering.

117,000 on my 86 951. Just used the car to drive from Santa Cruz to Las Vegas for a wedding. Door to door- 7 hours. 560 miles. Hit over 130 on a number of locations, spent most of the drive at 120 or so, with my wife, in total AC comfort, listening to the stereo and the V1. No tickets, no problems. What a great investment it was picking it up for 7000 US at 90K miles...

I had 119k on my 86 951. Blew number 2 and needed a new engine at 104k. Tranny is now broken. Torque tube tranny housing cracked in half at 118k. Have $20k in receipts, too. Not sure how all this happened.

1986 944 NA with 162,000. No rebuilds yet. Still running great, espically since I fixed a vacuum leak 
Also, 1977 924 NA with 236,000. Runs and looks like it's brand new. 1 clutch replacement, and so far that's it (knock on wood).
