KVC58

Daily driver but between driving the wifes S5 and my truck, I’ve only put on 5k the last 12 months. Next year with more road trips it will be closer to 10k for sure.

2009 C4S 53K

I bought it in 2014 with 33K on the clock, so I guess I’m at 2,500 per year. Some fair weather commuting but mostly touring and weekend romps. Two drivers in the house and four cars. My wife’s M2 gets even less. Cayenne gets the most with errands, skiing, and shutting to the Chalet 4hours each way. Duramax Denali is my daily.

1k/year - work from home

About 6k per year on '09 C4S. It was a daily for a year, now it's back to weekends. I'm curious, you say a rebuild only lasts 100k. That assumption doesn't take into account new coatings like Nickies or steel sleeving which all have different lifespans. Nickies is bulletproof as far as I've read so why wouldn't it go 200k plus? I really think your assumptions do not reflect reality.

I've put 11K on my girl since I got her in September, so probably near 20K/year. Well maintained daily driver in Michigan, unless the slush is nasty or the snow is over 6". She's an 09 Boxster 987.2 6 speed with a 2.9L and I plan on keeping her (just did paint correction and ceramic). No nagging concern of a rebuild here...

I picked mine up July 19th of last year. I put just over 4K on it since then, 1900 miles of which was the drive home from NJ. Solely a weekend car for fun back road drives. Just joined the PCA so maybe I’ll get it out a little more in the coming years.

To the OP it will vary and will depend on what you're doing.
I' have a 2008 C2 and one year i put just 2.600 miles on her and the next year was 14,000.
These cars are meant to be driven and not garage queens😁
112k on the clock, no scoring no nothing just regular services and maintenance.
I suggest give her a name and treat her right lol in return she'll take care of you 😉

I'm putting about 17k a year on mine. DD year round for past 3 years. Just turned 101k. I enjoy the car and try not to worry about an inevitable engine rebuild. Once (I should say *if*) my CT5-V Blackwing gets delivered over the next year, I'm thinking the 911 will be more of a fair weather only car. I'm guessing @Bruce In Philly may put more per year than anyone.

I bought my 09 C2S with 44k in February of this year, just turned 49k. Love driving this car as much as I can. My true daily driver is a Yukon but I hop in that car every chance I can.

2250 yearly based on my first 14 months of ownership of my 997.2. I drive my 85 911 about 1800.

It is interesting how many low mileage Porsches there are around. They are durable cars and I certainly drive one of my two every possible chance I get. But I am a piker compared to an owner I met last weekend. I was showing a house and drove there in my 63k-mile 85. The client pulled up in an 91 silver cab with 180k on the clock. He put nearly all of the miles on as the second owner and other than one top end job, front seats and convertible top, the silver car was original. His told me it was his daily driver.

It was learning moment for me, this guy used his 911. I know sometimes I worry about putting miles on because no matter how hard I try, it is sometimes difficult not to follow prices. Yet knowing what I know about the air-cooled cab market, there was probably less than 10k difference in the prices the cars would fetch on BAT and the like. And he got to drive it over 10k a year.

2013 997 Turbo 1312 mi average/yr

Bruce In Philly

2009 C2S 180K miles

I guess about 13.8K miles per year.

Got my 09 c2s when I was 29 yrs old and it almost had 19k. 7yrs later only 27k miles, so that’s only ~1100miles/yr unfortunately. Once salt goes on the roads I don’t drive it until warm spring weather. Also, the neighborhood I work in and park around is awful, so driving that to work is asking for problems.

I don’t put much mileage on per year. I’ve had years where I put a thousand miles over two days, and other years with less than 500 miles for the entire year.

When you have several fun cars (4+ here) and many priorities on your time (family first among many) then miles naturally stay low (on average).

I enjoy the driving aspect and the collecting aspect. My cars are well maintained, low mileage or not. I don’t care what others do re: low vs high miles.

I may think it a shame to get salt on a 911 and another thinks it a shame not too. The diversity of approaches gives a nice mix of options for future (and current owners).
