I opened the June issue of Pano.

One of the feature articles is a 2002 996 Turbo X50 Tip w/552,000+ miles.

Just traded in by the original owners out of Iowa. Gives a good history of the issues encountered over the years.

Apparently the car was legendary among Porsche techs.

It is the feature article from the issue on the website:

https://www.pca.org/panorama/edition/panorama-june-2015

Mine came yesterday.

And I was wrong, its over 557k:

Ted West tells the story of a couple's 2002 911 Turbo — which they owned from new and for more than 557,000 miles — in "The First 557,764 Miles."

Would you mind posting the article for all to read? Sounds like a great article.

Good article. Sold to dealer tech and picked up 991 turbo S. Total cost of ownership was 20 cents a mile - must not have gotten much from the tech. Never had to do anything to the engine. Nada.
