I missed out on an 07 C4 S that had 96K miles on it and it got me thinking about higher mileage cars and don't recall seeing any/many cars that had more than normal mileage. How many miles do you have on your car and how have things held up as the mileage climbs?

I bought a 70k mile 997 C2s in 2011 and have added almost 30k more. Aside from tyres, servicing and getting the oil changed every year regardless, she's strong as an Ox.
I'm in the middle of replacing the brakes ahead of schedule as they're a bit tired, but other than that, nothing :-) (Which, I'll be honest, is surprising as I fully expected to have needed some suspension work by now, but she's got a clean bill of health each and every year from my Indy) |

Don't know if you can really consider an 11 year old car with 96k miles really high mileage but here goes:
2006 C2S Pulled outer IMS bearing seal at around 55k, clutch fine so it's still in there today. Also at that time changed AOS, idler wheels, serpentine belt and water pump/fluid at same time. New rear tires every 15k and fronts every 30k. Still on second set of brake pads. Change oil (5w40) and filter every 5k. Oil never below full. Never drive under 2,500rpm. Never park on hill with front pointing up. Driven all over Canada and US (California twice from central Ontario). Simply a great car. Powerful, nimble, comfortable on long trips. Cheers Johan

my 2006 Carrera 4 has 107,000 miles on it. Runs perfect.
Only issue is that the TPMS sensor batteries have failed ... again .... Other than that , it has been the usual 997 items such as tires , brakes, oil, clutch, battery, alternator and water pump. The rear wing motor started making a noise when i first bought it and that was replaced under warranty.
