How much does mileage really matter on a Porsche? This week on Rennthusiast Radio, Derek and Will dig into the age-old debate: Are you better off with a low-mileage “garage queen” or a high-mileage “driver” that’s been loved and used? We break down the psychology behind Porsche odometers, why some owners obsess over the 20k, 80k, and 100k milestones, and how value, condition, and maintenance all play into the equation.
We also talk about:
-Why some Porsches gain romance at 200k+ miles
-The concept of “free Porsche miles” between 40k–80k
-How older air-cooled cars vs newer water-cooled cars change the mileage conversation
-Why EVs flip the script (miles vs charge cycles)
-The balance between ROI and pure driving joy
Whether you baby your 911, daily your Boxster, or are hunting for your first Porsche, this episode will change how you think about mileage.
