One of the best running Porsches I have owned was an SC with 190k miles. It's been driven and the cars like that. But check over maintenance and condition very carefully.
The high mileage means it will be the best or worst buy ever.

need more details for sure.
Rebuilt ever? records? How was it driven? where? They are great motors and can last for a long time, 300k+ in some examples. Engine cost? Used or rebuilt? $2k for a core to $15k for a hot rod motor. Not even that hot  -Chris

Hey,
I have a very well documented, well maintained 74 911 with 215,000 on it that runs great. The trick is that the previous owners kept up on maintenence and updates and rust. Pat

John,
It depends on how much? I've seen properly maintained SC's w/over 300K but be careful. It may sound like a good deal but cars of that age are almost too expensive to fix and are worth far more being parted out. A stock 3.0 rebuild is $8,500. & up. Mike
