High mileage 01 TT advice

Considering a high mileage 01 TT, it seems to be a clean car with maintenance records. The price is ok and working on it. So my question is how many of you guys have high mileage 911 TT's? I'd hate to grab the car and the engine take a big poop on me.

i spoke for a long time with the service tech at the local porche dealer. So take that for what its worth. He was very honest about his concern with the ims issues on the standard engines.

But...he loves the turbo set up. Apparently its different enough and much more robust. He doesnt believe high mileage on the turbos is any issue what so ever.

Yes the turbo engines are completely different than the N/A cars. Bulletproof comes to mind. How many miles are you considering HI.? My 930 has just rolled over 80,000 and shows no sign of getting tired
