I'm curious how many high mileage 944's are around and are in use.

I'll start...
1987 944 N/A
233,105 miles as of 1/26/2011
Daily driven

168K on the 944S...figured I'd be a spring chicken in a thread like this!

owned for nearly 2 years, bought at 151k.

 

Does 42K miles count?

 

254000 miles on my 86 951

 

168,900 on my 1983

 

238,000 on 1990 S2.

 

50,000, 86 951

 

I find these low mileages interesting. Given a recommended timing belt replacement every say 3-4yrs, this means a new kit every 6000-8000 miles. Means that the timing belt get changed more often than some people change oil in their daily driver honda or ford.

 

This would be so if it didn't sit in the garage, basically undriven (maybe once a year), for a good 10 years or so.

Within the last 5 years, it went from ~25,000 to the current 50,000. Sort of disappointing to be putting miles on the car... but I love every second of driving it and at least it's stayed in the family and still technically 1 owner.

I have a bunch of state inspection papers from over the years... pretty neat actually.

 

184000 on the clock on my 89 S2.

 

getting close to 100,000 on the chassis...less than 35000 on rebuilt motor though.

 

131,979 just broken in.

 

just turned 190K today on my 86 951, as far as I know still original engine.

 

odometer broke at 174,458

So x>174,000

 

I don't know exactly as the odo was broken for years. Indicated 57k but it was more than likely 157k when it broke, i fixed the odo a 2 months ago and am up to 61k indicated. Im thinking real mileage is over 200k.

I've been replacing a lot of worn parts however so shes getting younger
