Prior owner put 1800 on it in the first year and a half of its life. I use it as my year round daily driver and have put 5000 on it in the 4 months I have owned it... and the grin is still ear to ear with every mile driven!!!

2016 991.1 CS2 with 11,600 miles. PDK, SC, PSE, Bose, glass roof
but that's only part of the story.
this is my first Porsche. been on my bucket list for 40+ years. had been lately looking around (I'm in the retail car biz and so used auction info and other tools) at Caymen's and 911's. was in Irvine Calif at a hobby convention the first weekend of this month and noticed a factory executive car at Riverside Porsche. cancelled my return flight and bought it unseen Sunday morning over the phone and was on my way driving back to the Seattle area by 1pm that day. it had 10,400 miles on it; now with the trip back it has the 11,600 miles. drove it straight through to Seattle without a break.....could not get the smile off my face for a week.
it's been in my garage for 2 weeks now, finally got it plated on Tuesday.
It will be a fun Sunday car/short trip car for my wife and I. maybe a track day here and there. I'm learning about a whole new Porsche world.

Only added 4K miles since last November (CPO, had 4700 miles). But didn't really start using the car until late January waiting for a front bumper respray, Xpel, etc. Then we were gone almost a month and now PCA/PNWR tours are getting into full swing. We're doing a 1600 mile 4-day loop around western Canada, then a few 3-day tours. Seattle to Whistler for a combined event with Western Canada. We're heading to Treffen Lake Tahoe in Sept with a leisurely wandering trip back. I expect we'll rack up 10k-12k or more per year and I'm semi-retired and have a home office. This car is constantly calling me to drive, drive, drive.

9600 miles in over 18 months of ownership. It's my daily, but our "normal" car gets more use with the family and all that. Kudos for putting some miles on... I love driving mine as well and wish I could do the same.

Taking it in monday for first warranty claim, GPS lost signal!
Otherwise, I beat the living hell out of my 991 TTS and not one mechanical issue
