Watching the 997 market like a hawk, I have noticed a couple of high (60k+) mileage 997s over the past few months.
The latest one is:

The two that I have seen just over 100k have both listed new engines fitted under warranty. It could well be coincidence, but as there are relatively few high mileage 997s out there at the moment, I thought it was a bit odd.
I plan on getting a ≤40k miler 997 and putting about 50-60k on it over the next 3-4 years. Who knows for how long I'll keep it, but I hope to have it for many years.
Fair enough, a 100k mile car might need a few things engine-related replacing by that time, but a whole new engine? I know it's silly to expect 993-like 150,000-odd miles before a rebuild, but I hope they're designed to last a bit longer than 100k without popping...

Right. I must get back to work and stop looking at autotrader!
