How much should pcars be driven
I just purchased a Carrara 1999 my first YEEEE HAAAA!
I was wondering how many miles do most folks put on these cars? I could pile up a lot of miles if it was for the shear enjoyment of driving the car. It only has 33000 miles. Is this a driver? Where do I stop? Trade? Or let'er roll?
Love this board

The more you drive it the better it will be. True of every Porsche, except for one that has sat undriven a lot. In that case, when you first start racking up the miles, you could find some issues created by inactivity.

Oh! I love to drive it but hear Pcars referenced as drivers or not. People try to keep miles down. I can understand why if they intend on selling or trading. I enjoy driving the porsche. How many miles have you heard of these cars having?

Just had 60k service done. daily driver and daily redline. 1-2 DE plus some track time per year. no engine issue so far. only electronic parts failure. reverse light switch, latch microswitch, ignition switch that's all I can think about. 996 has been most reliable european car I even own in the passed 20 years.
Just drive it, otherwise you just save it for the next owner.
