Should i expect a 100k mile 996 911 (3.4 or 3.6) to be trouble if used for daily and trackdays?

You would hope not and expect that it should be nicely run by then. Wether or not that is remotely close to reality or not who knows.

It certainly make for cheap entry into ownership though.

Good info. Ok so no major dramas just be careful. Can boroscope give insite if the engine is workable?

I would have to put 5k slush aside for rebuild should one be required i suppose.

996 3.4 200 reg - 150k miles and still on orignal engine. Driven hard still too, although I religiously never go past 4k revs without oil and Water being up to temp. Oil when i dip the clutch and the needle drops to where it should when it's warm and water between the 8 and the 0 of 80.
