987 Mileage Concerns
Hey all- Gonna be looking sometime next year for a 987. It will be a part time driver so I don't mind looking at higher mileage cars. Is there a threshold where the maintenance
costs take a big jump? 75k? 100k? Will probably look for a 987.2, but when does the age affect the IMS bearing on the 987.1 cars? Thanks

It’s a Porsche, maintenance and parts will always be expensive.
Mileage limitations are more about your desires and how much you want to pay upfront. My 05 has 115k and it’s got some rattles and various cosmetic imperfections, but still a great weekend driver.
