109K miles when the odo stopped working. I ordered gears but got the wrong ones. Wil try to fix when I get some of the big ticket items done.
No telling how many it really has. It's encouraging to see some high mileage responses. Thought 110 - 150K was about the max I would see here.

I wonder how many Ferrari 308/328's which are the similar vintage to the 964's have even made it past 50k without major and expensive mechanical work!
Porsches are made to be driven (hard) and this just proves the difference between them and other marques I think...
Oh, and my cab is very sprightly with just under 95k miles on it! Original engine no rebuild and no noticeable oil leakage, still feeling very good when you put your foot down!

In connection with Ferraris, I did a search on mobile.de the other day and with 2300 Ferraris for sale, only 31 of them had passed 100k km.

They can be, just requires a bit more maintenance. The newer ones lend themselves to be easier daily driver's vs the classic ones.
The issue with Ferrari's is that typical owners don't put mileage on it that it will 'lower' the value. I don't think it's right to keep a car pristine for the next owner. It's meant to be enjoyed and enjoyed now.

The 308's were late 70's early 80's and the 328 was mid to late 80's. the 348 was late 80's to early 90's and the 355 was mid 90's cars. The 348/355's are maintenance pigs and expensive to run.

240,000 miles and recently written off.
It was a joy to drive, running strong and in great shape...
but apparently it's worth next to nothing according to the insurer because of the high mileage.

180K and climbing
I am about to hit 180K on my daily-driven 1990 C4. Top end and clutch were done at 80K. The car runs extremely well, doesn't leak a drop, and except for some recent issues with the ABS / PDAS lights that may necessitate replacement of the ABS control unit (yes, ouch), it's been bulletproof in hot, cold, rain, snow and everything in between. I am hoping to see 200K or even 250K out of mine before moving her into semi-retirement. Drive 'em!
