Who has the highest mileage Boxster
- Thread starter Rhys57
- Start date
Still plenty to add to get to 250k!
thanks for the post
no special prep for overseas trips, just get the car up to spec on maintenance or interim oil change.
have overseas cover on uk insurance and a credit card.
dont bother with tools as impossible to fix anything on a Boxster, but there is always a specialist somewhere.
had a dicky switch on the clutch pedal last time, but got luck and got home ok.
my 987.2 has only 69k on it but 2 big tours happening in 21/22 so expect a good 10k added, and looking forward to it!

Never had to put any oil in, and only a drop of water once. The 2.7 is surprisingly economical on fuel for the quality of driving experience, especially roof down and sun shining!
Most exciting car I've ever owned, and look forward to many more exhilarating miles. In the words of JoBoxers - 'Do the Boxster beat...'

Maybe you misread the tile of this post? []
You could always start a "who has the lowest mileage per year" thread but I guess you'll be inundated with garage queens.

Pretty impressive Skoosh1970 but compared to Paul08's earlier post you just qualify for having run your car in as his friend has over 250k on his odometer.skoosh1970 said:154000 miles hit on monday night [8D]
There is a lot of life left in your car yet. Happy motoring!
Thanks for contributing.

Using the official Top Trump method... my 2010 Boxster with 154000 miles = 12833 miles per year on average.
So, assuming i keep her until 2035 i may have covered 320825 miles..........i'd expect Porsche to buy her back from me []
And i may be forced to fit her 3rd clutch by then too.
Si.
For a lot of people a Porsche is a 2nd or 3rd car for fun or tours of events so a lot do between 2 k/5k annually with a good few with insurance for the amount they intend driving.hiredfox said:Interesting thread and good to see honest mileages being reported. It is hard to believe the extraordinary number of alleged low mileages of many Porsche sports cars offered for sale especially older models. It seems incredible that people would restrict themselves to 2k miles pa if lucky enough to own a Porsche.
But some are everyday cars fair play.
Back to the highest mileage I wonder what's the highest mileage still on the original engines.

If you keep your car long enough and keep up your average mileage you will probably catch Paul‘s friend and even surpass him in the years to come. It’s good to know you probably use your car as a daily.
However I’m more interested in how many miles you got out of your clutches as I‘ve done 70k and my clutch doesn’t feel too good.
thanks

Not a daily for me but was for the one and only other owner I acquired the car from at 142k in October 2020.
