I just bought my third Porsche, a 99 C2. Before I tell you guys how many miles are on it, I want as many opinions as possible to tell me what they consider is high mileage on that car. Basically, I want to get a feel for when this engine and drivetrain are considered retired. I'm about to put a 1300 hundred mile trip on it and Im concerned it wont be good for the car.

Pre Thanks!!! :drive:

The engine and trans will last, well about as long as they will last. I wouldn't be concerned driving it 1000 miles. I'm sure you would accumulate that many over the course of regular driving. Crusing on the highway is much less stressful on a car than start/stop day to day driving. There are 986 owners with close to 250-300k miles on original engine.

I've done multiple 1400 mile trips (once a year) up the coast. No issues. Keep some oil on you in case you need it. I bring 2 quarts. that's it.

My MY'01 C2 just turned 99,000 miles. Only issues have been water pump (at 62k) and Coolant Overflow Tank (at 78k). Regular oil changes at 5000 miles. No issues.

I have 98k on my C4S... not concerned about the mileage at all. T2 on rennlist has 340k+ miles on his 996 Turbo, and a handful of members with 150k+ on their 996!
