Lol, I could have guessed you would respond.
I bought a B (first letter of brand) A (first letter of model) from 2008.
That's all I am saying for now as I do not have the car yet. Tomorrow I am off to car dealer for deposit and than they have to get some export doc's, etc (bought the car in Holland) and I hope to be able to go get it in the next 10 days or so.

I have 65,330 on mine. The only mechanical issues were covered under warranty (accumulator, PCM unit, leak on tranny..Carbon fiber pieces..
I have two repairs I need to do now. Broken door release cable, and leaky CV joint boots.. (will be about $900)
I drive my car at least 5 days a week and will not sell until I really fall in live with something else..
The new Porsches do not thrill me.. I really like the GT3 though. And of course I:m looking forward to the new 991 TT.. If I can get over that horrible interior and that PDK that may be my next car.. But not for a couple years.. Maybe a Lambo...
I am intrigued Denis... Cannot wait to see what it is..

Mine has 44K on it. I bought it CPO in 2011 with 30K. Until recently, I thought I was dodging bullets, but a leaky front differential has (for the moment) dampened my enthusiasm. My '84 911 has seen more road time than the turbo this summer as a result. I am hoping that I get the turbo over the 136K I have on my old 911. $hit happens. I will fix the $hit when it does happen. Still a phenominal auto. At this point, not even tempted to look into a new 991 tt.
Bottom line is that I always chuckle at the guys who pride themselves on keeping the miles down on these cars. Dr. Ferdinand would as well, I think. I just read an article on AutoWeek about a guy who inherited a 1953 356 from his dad in 1968 and still has it and has 986K on it and is shooting for 1,000K soon on this car. That is what they are for. Like the mailman, rain, sun, snow. These are amazing cars that need to be enjoyed.

There is a story about how this car was stolen after the video was made but was found about a week later.

54k no problems with me other than my stainless steel lit entry guards going out. Bought a new set and replaced them my self. Just did my brakes, rotors and pads.

45,000 km's and rising weekly. I drive it daily. It's got a couple of little things I.e. the driver's door sill light flickers occasionally, front spliiter is now scraped, the seat belts being sliver have gotten dirty, and it does need a 'new' exhaust. So just cosmetic stuff. Still smile when every I see it.

Over the years what has been the major issues you guys have had (even if covered by warranty)?
