For a car that gets touted as an everyday supercar, or the one you can use as a daily driver, that 30,000 miles is considered high mileage after 15 years of road use.
I have shoes that see more miles than most of these "high mileage" cars each year.
2010 GT3 with 19,958 miles. I've only owned it for 9 months and most were in the winter month and then some time in the shop for the coolant fix. Can't wait to add more miles as this is my first GT3!
Mine’s not a 997 but here is data point from my 996. 70k miles, tons of prior hard track miles from two prior owners, and when engine builder started tear down he reported no abnormal wear at all other than the lifters which were weak and oil pump which didn’t absolutely have to be replaced but advisable since he was “in there.” Change the oil and don’t money shift and they are stout!
I bought my 997.2 about 3 years ago. It had about 22k miles on it when it came home, and I'm up to just over 30k now. I basically drive it as much as I can, and at my mileage rate I don't think I'll ever wear it out completely.
2007 GT3. Just hit this the other night. I bought it in January 2020 with 23K miles. Wish I had more time to put on more miles but I have 2 kids under 4 years old so time is tight to say the least. I drive it whenever I can and plan to keep it forever. Some day it will be high mileage. And if it ever does blow up it's going to Sharkworks for a rebuild.
38.5k owned for 14 months. Haven't put many miles on unfortunately but the drives to and back from work (8 miles round trip) or evening beer runs have been fun.
