What mileage do the 'big' things start to need replacing?

Do we have any high milers here?

Can't say i've heard of any letting go,keep a check around the blowers for any signs for oil,boost pipes might want changing.

My 996TT is up for sale. It's an 02 with 51K on the clock.

I recently had to replace the air con condenser rads because of corosion caused by leaves getting stuck behind them and the front wishbone units due to tired bushings but otherwise she has been faultless and has never given me a moments trouble. Certainly the most reliable car I have ever owned.

Reason for the sale??? I have bought another Porsche ! Nuff said !

My 996 C4 has been pretty much faultless apart from usual Battery, , brakes, tyres, like said, the most reliable car I've owned (&Cheapest!).. But I'm getting people's suprise all the time when we talk about mileage on mine, its def. making it harder to sell against so many with 20k less at same age. Knowing how solid mine is @ 58k I want to make sure the Turbos are the same, I know the engines a of better bread, just making sure rest is
