It's not 40,000 like the advert says ... it was 41,493 in Nov last year. All of their other cars have specific miles against them this doesn't.

The mileage is just over 42000 now. Tried the car yesterday and it drives perfect. It is in superb condition throughout. Just a bit concerned that the mileage is a bit high.

I decided against buying this car.
I have put a deposit on a White Cayman S 981 that has 2 years Porsche warranty and only done 17000 miles. Hope to collect it next week when it has had its first MOT. Really excited :-)

Sounds fab, good luck with the car. Was it the mileage that put you off ? I'm looking at a 2011 Boxster S with 50k on the clock.

Yes, mileage and lack of Porsche warranty. I decided to spend more money and buy a newer car. Repairs can be so expensive, I personally didn't think it was worth the risk. Good luck with your new car.

Mileage always seems to be an issue for all of us doesn't it. Me included. When I looked I was too precious about mileage ., I ended up with a 2009 with 41k on the clock.

The point I wanted to make is that I've been in the position to drive a variable range of Porsches since then and the up shot is as long as they have been properly serviced they are fine. I've driven a 93k mileage boxster, a 103k 993, a 67k Cayman amongst others and I can genuinely say you'd not know about high mileage until you look at the
Mileometer.
Which has now convinced me I will no longer be too concerned about mileage when I buy another Porsche, just the levels of its service history.
