944 Mileage Poll 2009

[Diver944]

We ran a 944 mileage poll back in 2003 and most 944s were around 150k mile back then. I thought I'd try it again and see how the numbers differ.

Please enter your mileage in the poll and also a one liner in the text.

Those of you with two cars enter the highest in the poll as I can't manually configure two entries any more [&o]

Here's a link to the previous poll:

[pauly]

80k on my turbo, it's been a second car for years so maybe it's genuine.

just popped out in my stocking feet in the dark to do this []

140,100 miles 89 S2 the old gal's officially 20 years old this year

 

[Bridge944]

My Turbo has done 137,000miles

 

[swright]

132.000 on my 86 turbo

 

[CVN187Y]

My 924S has covered 145,000 miles with no rebuilds only a new water pump, belts etc etc. Hardly burns any oil at what ever speed I am doing. Great engines these 944's are[].

 

[MRGT]

just over 98K on my recently acquired 1987 944S

 

[Riverside]

170,000 miles on mine now, had a speedo change at 98,000 miles (logged in the service history, it was before I owned it) so it only shows 70,000 inside.

Drivers outer bolster is worn through & the seat base has a hole too, consumes oil at about 1lt/1000 miles (worse if I track it). Head was refurbed a year ago & replaced valve guides etc, while the head was off Roger at Promax said the bores were perfect but the ring gap was beyond Porsche's maximum recommended tolerance so it would benefit from new rings & probably a bottom end overhall.

I'd describe my car as high mileage but it's a tool to do a job (ie keep me entertained), not a show queen and there's plenty of life left it it yet []

 

[944 LIL]

LIL's on 121k

 

[sawood12]

Almost 125k on mine. Drove it every day into work last week through the crummy weather and it didn't miss a beat. Superb. Had problems with the wife's Focus though, but nothing serious thank god, just not coping with the cold as well as the 944!

 

[DavidL]

Just ticked over 225K on my 944T.
Seems ok!

 

[rcsalmons]

89K on 944 Turbo S. Car basically did next to no miles in 7 years so should be genuine. I'm not doing many either.

59.6k and all genuine. My old man bought it when it had 20k on the clock back in 1989, then since he worked abroad so much he hardly ever used it. Hence the cookie's got incredibly tarnished, the dash is cracked but she still works a like a dream.

He gave it to me 4 years ago, when it had 45k on it. He only gave it to me since I'd reached the ripe old age of 33 (!) and he thought I was worthy of such a car. [8|]

I was just thinking the other day, that it really does bring a smile to my face nearly every time that I drive it. There are more powerful cars out there, but I really do feel part of this car [:'(]- apologies for the vomit moment.

I just wish I had more time to give it some personal TLC unfortunately a 7 week bouncing bundle of fun takes my free time up. Any how, at the rate of mileage increase on it, perhaps I'll be able to give it to Will, when he's 17 and it'll only have 120k on it []
