High usage

[zrcg1]

I'd be interested to know what sort of mileage people put on their 993s.

For the last two years, i've done around 350 miles a week in mine, and would be interested to hear experiences to compare.

38K IN 5 YEARS !

[bobafett]

Erm just had mine Mot'd and the only difference from the last one is 452 miles...!

I must get out more.......

 

[John Maddox]

By that token, I must get out less - did 4 times your annual mileage in a week on holiday earlier this year !!

Looks like Ill do about 15k this year......it was bought to be driven.......

Still use the Mondeo for Famil stuff though.......

 

[zrcg1]

For most the servicing and repair bill should generally be low in that case ...

day1zero, is that your usual mileage? if so, id be interested to know your current total mileage and what recent repairs you've made.

Reason i'm asking is that my maintenance bill is considerably high this year (and getting higher), and the ownership experience does not echo the sentiment the package is generally bullet proof in the long to medium term term. I realise my car is 11 year old, but having had cars which cost less and return more on sale in terms of mileage, I am contemplating my Porsche future.

Repair schedule this year has included:
Discs & pads
Suspension replacement
Aux Blower fan
Oil and AirCon resistors
O2 Sensor
Leads and dist caps
ABS sensor x1
Fan bearing
+servicing

Maybe I should stop using it and get a Transit or something !!

12k in 2.5 years and half of that's has been on the continent. All of it pleasurable and touch wood, other than servicing, just a DME failure. Now thats just gone and done it hasn't it.........
Roll on LeMan's, 18 days and counting to departure day!

I beginning to know how you feel!
I bought my 94 C2 with 86k miles 13 months ago knowing it needed £2,000 spending on it which was factored into the price. (included 2 new discs and pads, suspension arms, rocker cover leak, 24k service etc).

3000 miles and 12 months later the following has been necessary : another rocker cover leak, rear crank oil seal, distributer caps and rotors ( a want not requirement -although very beneficial) A/C overhall including new condensor, new evaporator, new dryer, and service well over £3,000. Not done but required, electric seat switch not working - silly amount of money; hundreds of pounds for the switch alone; Indicator stalk hard to operate in one direction appears as though self cancelling mechanism is stopping it, quoted Hundreds for the switch again.

Still smile every time I drive it however, it is now slightly tinged.
I hope this is the end of it for a while (more than a year or 3000 miles)!

My C2 has done 70K only thing I have ha changed is an O2 sensor which was an %astard to track down as it wasnt reporting as faulty. Could do with a new pair of rear tyres!!!...have had to reset the Airbag warnin liht a couple of times.

I bought mine after mucho research....and got fed up with the engine is bullet-proof statement.

Previously owned skylines/300zx/350zx and all had been more expensive to maintain....

Now touchin lots of wood!!!!

Now on 113k - 5k in 18 months. Apart from two services and MOT's, I've only had to change one cv boot and replace the rear anti roll bar mounts.
