Default Is this a record? 256K Miles 996

Saw this:
http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/1114731499.html

250,000+k miles. It does have a new engine now, but the old one lasted 200K.

Not a record for the 996 3.4, but definitely would be for the 3.6..........

Take notice that this is a 1999 3.4 people
(Flame suit on!)

22500 for that kind of mileage seems way off to me. I have been looking and it seems really high.

Mine has 76K on it now, and I'm putting about 20K/year on it, so I HOPE it lasts till 250K.

Maybe you should consider it a 50K car (mechanically anyway). If so, 22.5 is a deal for a low mileage 996, lol.

That's like 85x the mileage of my car. And, to think - I still have my original engine.

Its the only thing that appreciated in value on the car. Of course Phil is going to hold it as long as he can.
