Highest mileage 2.7 Cayman?
Considering they have non-replaceable IMS bearings, what is the highest mileage 2.7 Cayman that we know of? Are these engines capable of high miles or are we inevitably going to lose the bearing at a common mileage window?

I will start with the low bid of 95k for a 2008. Just bought it and the previous owner did an oil analysis for the last oil change and did not find any signs of IMS degradation. He then had the clutch replaced and at the same time had the IMS inspected and seal removed (per the LN recommendation). So I was planning on not worrying about it for another 100k. Will do oil changes every 5k (now my engine oil is lubricating my bearing) and will drive it as much as I can. Life is too short to worry about what if's....
