Seems to be a bargain to me.
My 997 turbo is a 2008 model, so just 10 years old now and its not far off 100k miles. Ive done 30,000 in the last 2 years using the car as my daily driver.
The only thing ive had go wrong on it was 2 temp sensors (£250) and the clutch slave cylinder which went 2 weeks ago. (£600). So thats £850 over 30,000 miles of daily driving, which personally I think is very good.
Looking at the pile of invoices which came with the car, the previous owner who had the car for 4 years spent about £8000 on it. But he took it to the porsche main dealer for everything so paid a premium. So by the time my car had done 69,000 mile and was 8 years old, it had new brakes all around, new radiators, condensors, starter motor amongst other things.
I had Centre Gravity look at my car last month and they said that underneath it looked better than some cars they see which have only done 20,000 miles.
So whilst a lot of people have that psychological 100,000 miles means a car is knackered mentality, in reality mileage doesnt really mater.
