sounds like a lot but for a car almost 5 years old, not actually that much !

anything special at 72k or just another 24k

wonder if it's time to ditch the OPC for the indy...
 
Wow grats on the mileage, I thought my 38k on a 2005 was a lot! Nice to see some well used examples. What have you had done so far apart from the usual services? Any problems? ...if you don't mind me asking
 
72K miles :worship: willing to bet it has been ultra reliable being used almost everyday. :thumb:

yup, just regular servicing on the dot, I do about 18k a year still under OPC warranty and that has pretty much covered everything

only problem had been during the 1st 10k miles since then all ok
 
i had a 60K service on my 997 late last year and according ot the schedule in the service book don't need another one until 80K. I am planning on changing the engine oil at 70K though.

the service book doesn't mention 72K, unless you're talking about km or the schedule is different for a GT3.

the major expense at the 60K service was a new set of coil packs at approx 200 pounds.
 
result, not due for another 8k :D

didnt even check the book, thinking it was like my old 996 :thumb:
 
Just realised you have a GT3, :wack: 72K in one of those and still walking. do you still have your fillings and a decent spine. :eek:ld: I am REALLY impressed now because never having had the pleasure of riding in one, I assume reading text that the suspension is a little on the ahem firm side. Like me running all the time with my sport button pressed :nooo:
