300,000 + miles in a 911

[T22AGA]

Have just worked out the combined milage I have driven in 911s over the years. Seven different cars scince 1984. easily 300,000+ miles . Also 24k in a Boxter S and 6k in a 944s2 . Amazing what a bottle of Red wine can do !!

Amateur. T2 on Rennlist has done more than that in just his 996 turbo.

I just sold a Lexus to a guy who traded one in with 170k (and perfect) but he'd done over 800,000 in his various Lexuses (or is it Lexii?).

He uses his local main dealer for everything - now there's brand loyalty and the dealer clearly recognises the "lifetime value" of a customer (I had to deal with them over a small issue he had and they were great).

Why the wonderment? I did 350,000 in a Mondeo smoker in a few short years.

350' 000 in a Pug 205 diesel from new.

310,000 in a 53 plate transit and still using it every day.

A friend bought a van from an industrial online auction last year - 5 years old and stated as "very high mileage". Having won it he found out it'd had a replacement engine at 280,000 miles, but the van had actually covered 554,000 miles

He's still using it.

I also calculated that I've driven c.330,000 mls (or just over 1/2 million kms) in Porsches.

Over a longer time period, but most models from 356 to the latest 991/Cayenne/Panamera.

Notable models I haven't driven are the SWB 911s, 914, Carrera GT, and I haven't driven a 981 yet.

There's a UK 3.2 'Club Sport' that's done over 400,000 mls, mostly with one owner, used daily. Interestingly, I did 6,000 mls in a 'Club Sport' and it remains one of my favourite 911s.

Great thread. Is it the one where I say I'm going to Tenerife and everyone else is going to Elevenerife!

I've just worked that over the same period of circa 12 years, I have done circa 300k in company cars and about 50k in my Porsches.

That ratio needs improving.
