I Bought a DESTROYED Porsche 911 Turbo At Copart & IT'S BAD..

[@jimhatfield5381]

- I have been away for a while as I only look at Porsches now at your site. -I looked in the beginning at all the cars but shortly I didn't want to watch because I didn't car about the model of car. - I enjoy how you takes these cars apart, price them and sell them. - But the best videos are the wrecked Porsches that get stuck back together wether you keep or sell them. As always A+ on: content, knowledge, clarity of speech and video, humor and well all the other things I should say but it is time for dinner and I have run out of gas this late in the night.

In the UK a mid 2006 911 turbo was £97840. Tiptronic was £1961 adaptive seats were £674 sports chrono package £1015 ceramic brakes were £5349. No idea what the £/$ was then 1.4 at a guess

[@pablopicaro7649]

UK has a huge VAT rolled in, the US does not. Each state collects sales tax after the sale. Usually around 6% to 8%

[@sutherlacd27]

New price you're saying? My 997.1 turbo build sheet was $153k...08 turbo cabriolet. Tiptronic, yellow seat belts and cluster, pasm, sport chrono, 18 way adjustable sport seats with porsche crest in the head rest, full leather package, 2 tone leather package, mahogany trim package, multifunction, and homelink.

[@Mmikeyboy1]

To the buyer $1100 looks more appealing than $1100.98, i learned this at an early age when i sold cars, lose the 98 cents it just makes the item look a lot more expensive.

[@DreammoreRealty]

Where do you sale the parts?

[@angrybill]

I am not a Porsche fella. I have driven a couple over the years and was very impressed. That said, my favorite car is my 72 Chevelle with a supercharged SBC. My question is; what is the issue you mentioned, about not turning the engine, in this video, "backwards"? I've not run across that issue before with my American engines. Beyond that, I agree, you scored nicely on this purchase. I could see that engine being worked into all kinds of vehicles not originally Porsche's. Tons of power in a complete package that you showed had near perfect leak-down numbers. Definitely a saleable item. I would kill to get those brakes into my Chevelle. I'll bet that they could be adapted with some genius quality work. (Not me) That said, I know people who could manage the task. Thanks for a timely, informative, and fascinating video. A job well done!

[@sutherlacd27]

The brakes are pccb. They are very impressive brakes. But they cost a small fortune. On ebay right now for all 4 used rotors it's around $8,000. That's just rotors...not pads or calipers. Most of us who do track days swap them out for the basic steel brakes instead because of the costs of replacing parts. However if you never track the car the pccb rotors are essentially lifetime rotors.

[@matsleight]

The steering wheel, isn't that a 991 generation one. 997 would have the tip push buttons right? Maybe that's why the crappy center marking as not original wheel.

[@sutherlacd27]

It's a 997.2-991.1 steering wheel. 997.1 had the triangle steering wheel. So they did a swap

[@_Livid_]

Maybe you’ve broken this down in the past and I haven’t watched/found the video yet but just out of curiosity, if you are aware these parts aren’t going to sell fast, and that you’ll have so much dead inventory, why still buy them aside that you get what you might need for yours? I mean, it’s your money and business, I’m not trying to say I could do it any better, I just don’t understand how losing that money for potentially years until the parts finally sell makes sense I guess.

[@colesoum6913]

why don't you cut and keep the rear good quarter panel ?that worth lots of money.

[@jamess4535]

My Tiptronic coupe was 143k, also PCCB'S. The steering wheel was swapped. Not original to a 997.1. Sucks that it's not an original yellow stripe sport design wheel. Mine is swapped with an alcantara sport design paddle wheel, and they are HELLA expensive. Yes, the factory yellow stripe steering wheels are uber expensive... dumb, but that's how Porsche makes money on options.

[@RiouInsuiko]

Out of curiosity particularly for the items that you don't have a tight grasp on what they're worth, why don't you enable best offers on them? You have control over what your auto-reject is anyway. It's got it's own problems with sometimes buyers not paying after you accept and possibly higher fees, but it seems like a no-brainer trade-off for stuff that might otherwise sit on the shelf for a long time.

[@scraplifegarage]

We have to be mindful of margins, as you can see in this series. From a business standpoint, I don’t start allowing offers in most parts until a year out from listing. It effectively devalues the parts and with how slim margins are in this industry, it’s less about how much volume we can move (in this instance by allowing offers to move parts) and more about how much we can generate of a given car, regardless of shelf time.
