997GT3 mileages

[997GT3]

Now that summer is almost gone, what mileages do your GT3's have on them?

Mine is showing 1760. I have another 1240 miles to last me until end of March 2008.

Jeeesh, what's the point of owning one, if you're too worried about using it

10k on mine, it's there to be enjoyed !!!

I'm not WORRIED about using it...just use it when i can. I do WORK to earn money! Oh and I'm only young so could only afford insurance for 3000 miles per year!

I'm only young too


I have to say, 3000 miles is a bit mean

[Geneve]

Mine's not my main car, but I'll average about 6000 miles pa in the GT3 - and enjoy every one of them.

6k since March, probably not too much more this year.

My car keeps wanting to go to the ring.

997 GT3/RS are more practical daily so big mileages ie 10k a year is not unexpected now i guess ? I was advised on one of the forums not to go crazy above 10k a year to avoid depn losses. Still these are not garage queens that get polished up but used (unlike Fezzas !!!)

[m12_nathan]

you can afford a 90k car but can only afford to insure it for 3k miles a year?

Should've bought a 996RS and insured it for 10k miles a year :P

[996TT_STEVO]

Bizarre, 3k for the year!

Excuse me! Moved from my 997GT3 to an F430. Done 2,000 miles in a little under two months. Off on Euro jaunt - Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France - and by the time I get back will have done total of around 4,000 miles in three months.

Each to his own but HOW do you do just 3,000 miles in twelve months in a GT3. I'd do more than that in "just popping out for the paper dear" type runs alone!

[oola]

Surely thats like being married to Keira Knightly and only being allowed to make love to her 3 times a year?!

After 12 months your right arm will be like Popeye's ....

[vpr]

Afraid to say that I've only done 900 miles in 6 months. Not from a garage queen point of veiw...just not had the time.

LOL!!!!!!

996 RS - Diff car but same principal i guess , 6k in little over 3 months

P

[flow99]

600 miles in 10 days, would do more if time permits, and keen to get the 'running in' period over and use the full rev range.

Although, most journeys take twice as long as normal; keep undertaking huge detours.

Oooopps except the F430 used by Pugsey for his bread, paper & milk run !!! ;-)

After seeing you post this on another thread i bet your over the moon you didnt waste 300 miles on it.

997GT3 said:

Phewww...and i nearly went. Would have been a wasted 300 mile round trip not to mention the £50 in fuel and £17 to get in. And i was thinking of joining the club....dont think so!!

But how old are you to only get insurance for 3000 miles? Did you look hard?

You know how it is with these types of cars - round trip to the village shop 5 miles - yet total journey is NEVER less than 20 miles!!!!! Isn't that why we've got them?
