Tony:
I don't really have to commute anymore, so DD = only about 5,000+/- miles a year.

Coming from air-cooled cars, I'm used to issues like valve adjustments, weak valve guides, head studs pulling, and other mechanical issues that I hope Boxster/Cayman owners aren't experiencing.

My ownership outlook is for 5-10 years, so the car would have well over 100k during my tenure. My last 911 had 146k and needed a top-end at the very least.

I know these are completely different engines, but I just wanted to get some higher-mileage feedback from actual owners/techs who know 987's.

Thanks,
John
