At least 10,000km. I figure use it or loose it, and I want to keep it!


A recent road trip to the highest mountain in Australia. Great fun with some mates in great cars. The 993 C2S still holds it own!

Default Lowest year yet

Only 1560 miles in 2023….the lowest year yet…but I am retired and switch back and forth between my retirement gift 991.2 TTS which is my daily and the 993 which was my daily for 4 years of the 24 I have owned it….

Owned since 1999 and have driven it 67560 in the 24 years or 2815 a year on average as I have always had 3-4 cars in the garage….

Have logged over 300,000 miles in my Porsches owned, smiling every mile😀😀

I love Seinfelds quote, those with the fewest Porsche miles lose.

Only about 2k miles on the C4S, been chasing suspension issues, and bad alignments the last 2 year’s. Burned thru three different “theoretically capable” well respected shops in those last two years. Have similar miles on the 03 Boxster S also…that car is fully sorted with suspension, wheel, and exhaust mods. The balance, and confidence it inspires…only brings out the stark deficiencies on the 993.

Taking a chance on another shop in 2024….

Now that I am retired, I have much more time to drive it - @ 900 miles this year.

I ran a carfax on it lately, to correct some errors, I had a few years where I only put on about 200 miles - was too busy

About 1500 miles but I also did the about the same amount of mileage on the 991. I use the 911s as weekend cars, the challenge is more to find time to drive them, hopefully, I will be able to have more free time in 2024 :-D

Default 1998 993 CS2 with many miles

This year - 6,500 miles on my 1998 993 with over 200,000 original owner miles. Bought it to drive it -
I have a big smile when I look at it in the garage, but I have an ear to ear grin when I am on the road.

wow….I’ll be the first to ask, everybody OK? These cars are incredibly safe, so here’s hoping.

Next question, hope you got a reasonable $$ from someone’s insurance company.
