Just hit 20k miles! Let's talk about highest mile not value tourings!
So I just hit 20k miles on my 2018 Touring. I got it used at about 16k miles in Aug/Sep last year. Drove to LA and back (I live in Silicon Valley) 3 times. Drive it everyday to the hospital and back... and for emergencies.
Truthfully I was wary daily driving a LWB, high revving, Akropovic'd (header and exhaust) car on some not so great pavement. But it's been wonderful. I have a relatively stressful job and being able to get in the car... and wring out the engine and hear it sing every day, twice a day is the best medicine.
So who's got some high mileage GT3s out there?! Let's celebrate driving and screw the value of the car. Trust me, owning a McLaren - it's always gonna be better than most of those.

Good for you - the highest mile tourings have the highest smiles from their owners which in turn is the highest value you can ask for. Keep driving and thank you for your service in the hospital system to keep everyone safe and healthy.

13,300.
I daily a Tesla model 3 Performance to the clinic and surgery center, but I love playing with my 991.2 GT3 on the weekends, track, and longer trips.
Did the first 3,000 miles as part of a long euro delivery and I still look for chances to drive her.

Just hit 11,111 on mine. This car goes to "11" across the board, for sure. I daily drive my Touring here in So Cal and I have every intention of putting 200,000+ miles on the car. Great to hear from others who are putting on the miles as well!

12,000 miles on my 6 speed 991.2 GT3 in 10 months. 11,000 miles on my .2 PDK in 14 months. Why Look at a depreciating asset when you can drive it.

I have the same duo. 35,000 miles on my daily 2019 P3D and around 8k on the weekend 2019 RS. The best tandem till Cybertruck arrives. Probably won’t ever sell the RS.
