Rear spoiler failed and was replaced by dealer at no cost after warranty
Vario cam servos - one failed and I had both replaced.
Horn failed - I replaced; required a wire connector as new horn had new connection
Windshield washer tubes failed.
Engine Cover struts failed.
Frunk Struts failed.
Battery replaced after 7 years larger AGM installed


probably less than $1500 in extraordinary repairs over 9 years. - I believe that the vario cam servers should be a wear item and I believe that Porsche keeps it out to lower the estimated cost of operation
if vario cam servers removed then less than $600 extraordinary cost of repair over 9 years.

All in all a great car and I still smile every time I see it.
It is incredible how cheap these cars are to maintain. People don't believe me when I tell them what I spend each year.

2nd.... Esp if you do your own basic maintenance. It's comparable to ANY european brand. The only thing that is super expensive is the tires. I run through a set of rears every 10 months or so. (I drive a lot) and gas (12MPG) LOL I like the redline A LOT.

I'm so happy to see these beautiful machines pass the 100k mark. Mine is just shy of 60k and it still makes me smile every time I drive it, just like when I bought it.

Congrats on the milestone (no pun intended).
Same year as yours but tragically with only 24k.
Living in two countries doesn't help...

That is impressive.

Why did the rear rotors/calipers need warranty replacement?

If I average my mileage / year, it will take me 26 years to get to 100k. So my 2019 will hit 100k in 2045.

My mileage is limited due to splitting driving duties among 3 vehicles, and a 7 month driving season for the 911.
