I Bought a Non-Running Porsche 996 911 at Auction CHEAP Sight Unseen!

[@cassette_elk]

A video of how the car's doing after a good clean and detailing would not be unwelcome! Gotta see how that paint and leather shines after all the dust's gone.

Yesssss so happy you guys are posting again!!! Love the cheap Porsche content!!!!!

Not stock sounding exhaust, but stock tips. Therefore perhaps Fister mod or Gundo hack on the stock mufflers. Great buy if the engine is healthy. A lot more can go wrong besides IMSB.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Wouldn't say great buy It's a pile of poo Nothing desirable

[@sgttombailes3380]

I absolutely Love my OCT '98 built '99 year model 911 996 Carrera. 50 K on the clock with LN IMS and many new components. Outstanding car. I do love my old 1980 911 Carrera SC. But the '99 has COLD A/C !!! I live in the south I'm 72 and I need Cold A/C..

[@kunalbhanot9934]

Nice buy! The ticking is a concern…most people think it’s lifters but I’ve been burned by bore scoring….sounded just like yours…if the exhaust tips have unequal carbon or it’s burning oil, probably a good idea to bore scope. Good luck!

[@frankieieie]

these 996 generations of engines is not common have bore scoring, 997 engines were really common but i wouldn't be that concerned...

[@SirBeefyy]

Congrats on the win! Time and time again you're coming out ahead and it's fun to watch.

[@chrisbailey2597]

Yes!!!! I need this cheap porsche content!!! Happy your back!!!

[@DonziGT230]

I got a free 996 C2 manual because the owner died while the car was disassembled. He took it apart to replace the IMS, unnecessary since it was a dual row and in perfect condition. For some reason he stopped working on it after getting the old one out and the car sat about 10 years. I put it back together and have been driving it for just over a year with no issues.

[@Suffolkman1961]

Get the oil, change and filter change done, and make the beast sing, let’s hear that exhaust going to see if it’s Stock or special; give us that short part two of the video, let’s hear it sing! Love hearing these videos, I’m blind so love to hear The gorgeous sounds that these Porsches can make

[@poormansporsche744]

Literally bought another 986 cause it was cheap, had a hardtop, sport seats, and aero kit too. You inspired me to do a “free boxster” project of my own

[@georgetown8986]

The hardtop alone has a decent value. They are rare and actually look sharp on the 996. The exhaust looks factory and sounds factory. Does it show PSE as an option? PSE is rare on all 911s.

[@minnesnowtan9970]

"You may even get tired of winning!" Love it!

[@StrankDavid]

Glad you are back 🎉

[@bernardowens1648]

Great vid!!!! My best guess is what you stated about the previous owner either having a medical issue where he or she couldn't drive it anymore or they passed away. Congrats!!!

[@movieman25155]

So refreshing to have you back on your channel. We have all been waiting patiently. Glad to see you with your great content with you and Christian! Cheers!

[@Kochie1985]

Fixing up the interior would be my suggestion for a second video, especially fixing that horrible covered steering wheel.

[@timbardam5878]

glad that you are back !

[@MattEMaddock]

Nice buy! Metropole Blue is what the interior colour is called (same as mine 😊). Sticker should be under the hood, if it’s not there it probably means it has been painted. Factory hard top was standard (back then) with 911 convertibles.

[@shysgarage2405]

Glad to see the channel back and putting out content...

[@jeremypringle5368]

That red 987 you rolled up in looks just like mine. Hope to see if featured in a video soon! Such a fun car for cheap!!

[@PauloGriiettner]

Oh my gosh, over $4 per gallon for regular gas?? I better stop complaining about paying $2.85 around here in Florida.

[@Einorasmr]

Come to Europe, minimum 6.5$ per gallon

[@pi70s]

Come to India, its $5 here

[@NickBB]

this was filmed months ago i think

please post more regularly, I love these kind of videos!

I've been having Porsche content withdrawal. Glad your back at it.

[@iwanevans607]

So glad to have JR garage content back, glad you grew your other channel and took some time out to just have a break, always put yourself first and your well being and mental health, great content and can’t wait for the influx of content on the channel 👌

[@thomprd]

I love my 996 cab. I can't really tell you if it sounds right until you wind it out. It only really sounds incredible stock from 6-7k. Not knowing what your mic sounds like exactly, it could be stock or not.

[@tazanteflight8670]

Im glad you're both back

[@jerryn8333]

Great buy and welcome back can't wait to see the content for 2024

[@benlee6500]

Truly amazing find of the 996 911 convertible....great content for many of us who want to own one...🎉😂

[@boyracer3477]

My jump box and many others have a button for when the battery is below the minimum required for electrical connection. Push that button and the connection is made and you can get power to the battery. I plug mine into the cigarette lighter or the OBDII port and let the battery be able to open my frunk, then put on a charger to the battery and charge it to full, then start the engine.

[@michaelbolshazy3532]

This would make a great candidate for a LS Swap!!! Great Vegas Car!!!!

[@Testament23]

This is the content we demand!

[@willsimm6695]

On these early cars with cable release hood levers you can unlock the locked levers with a small screwdriver just push the locking pin in - much easier than going through the wheel arch.

[@lumtey561]

No more videos gentleman what is going on ? ? ?

[@gabedifanis7490]

Glad to have you back 🤝

[@iankam5980]

Hey seems like you guys are the Porsche guys!! I’m considering parting ways of a heavily modified 944 turbo I have owned since 2001. Runs but not great mostly needs a new engine stand alone system. Car is very clean and just a few blemishes love to see it get corrected

[@simplecarblog5663]

Welcome back guys, greetings from Sweden. We have missed your content

[@davebettey1936]

Great result on the Porsche. Someone is looking down on you lads and throwing great bargains your way. Looking forward to another video in the near future

[@mesprojects674]

Should totally do some vids with the bmws! Cheap big power! Missed the content, thanks for bringing it back!

[@JRGarage]

More to come!

[@10amm21]

During covid they had an incentive for some tax write offs on cars that were donated not sure on how much but it was well over the value of them and these older porsches people took advantage of the higher write off vs the sale value and paying taxes on the car. The cars then sit for 3-4 months before they are auctioned so thats why the batteries often die and then JR garage takes advantage of the auction companies not wanting to deal with it. What a steal of a car for 8k!

[@cytherians]

I wouldn't doubt there's more competition for these Porsche Boxster & 911's because of the reveals here... I just hope when I'm finally in a place where I can give it a go, I get lucky. Just want a 1 time deal!

[@rexd.cundiffjr.4905]

How much are you asking for this vehicle?

[@Wulf573]

As it turns out buying cheap Porsches can make you a lot of money.If it dosen't run you can always part it out.

[@movieman25155]

Great first start guys on your first video back. Congrats!

[@scottbellisle5581]

I have a pretty rare 95 3000 gt sl spyder value $16,000-$26,000. So in the middle would be $21,000. I had it 7 years and put 4,000 miles on it, always garaged. I’d trade you for the White 911. My car value can only go up, this one really won’t. A win win. What do you say young man. Mind you I just have a valve job since the timing belt went, $4,500 later, damn.

[@ricksmith4736]

Enjoy your Jahp Crahp.....

[@rulez-sm9je]

I love this video. Congrats! I'm a Porsche enthusiast though (3,2 Targa, 964 C2 and 997 4S cab) ❤

[@cristianbuga5126]

Would it not be an easyer way to power up the porsches? Try a cable with a cigarette lighter connector, connected to a jump pack, just to feed enough current to unlock the trunk or trunk or whatever you call it?

[@Thomas-xt1ff]

I love detailing, it's so satisfying to me. I have a 2017 SantaFe sport I polish often. Plasric are done often as well. People want to touch it, ir's so shiney. I've always loved it's color canyon copper. Yikes, the gorgeous cars you guys have and I'm taking about a Hyundai . 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@doodlesdaddy1122]

Hey guys. I have backed powered a light socket in cars to power up the fuse box and basically powers up most switches. Like, just pop a tail light out, apply power to the feed wires, and other things will come alive in the car if that makes sense

[@evan.435]

Welcome back jr garage

[@KaiTheCarspotter]

Can you guys do a garage tour ??😊

[@KaisAviationYT]

Yes please do one ❤

[@devryndrives6623]

Why havent you ever tried backfeeding a battery signal through a light cable or something? Sometimes a simple 9v batterybwill work.

[@JRGarage]

This one is not the electrical release that you’re talking about, plus the ones that do you have the emergency fuse rarely work for us.

[@devryndrives6623]

@JRGarage gotcha. Just had a thought. Glad you're back!

[@peterhenthorne7274]

Welcome back and well done. You make your own luck with hard work and knowledge...

[@Houster_]

Would love to see another video of you guys going through cars at copart!

[@n62bv]

Hey boys, Porsche anticipated the dead battery/electric hood release scenario. There is a 12v jumper prong that slides out of the kick panel fuse box that powers up the electric hood/trunk release.

[@walk4718]

You guys are amazing. Truly appreciate your work ethic and the platform to display what work and a measure of knowledge can accomplish 👍

What your take On Porsche Cayenne Vehicles? Ever brought one yet? Or the BMW X6 inline 6cyl. .

[@yeetlegosi]

LETS GO HE MAKES A 911 VIDEO THE GOAT IS BACK

[@silviovelez7666]

Welcome back plz fo more videos plz

[@noelclark693]

A typical 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera in Australia goes for about US$46,000 - or more than double the cost in the USA. And these guys picked one up for less than a quarter of what we pay!

[@jeremyocampo1529]

Also if you’re about to have an IMS failure you can hear it too. I don’t know why people get so scared about the IMS. The transmission is so easy to drop too. It’s just one weekend job with simple tools and the transmission is off in one day

[@DRRebuild]

Finally love the content ❤

[@jsm0m]

People underestimate these old Porsches…they are more reliable then everyone thinks 👍🏼

[@williamburkhead3107]

Which broker do you use with Copart? Super cool video. TY

[@EspenX]

04:38 That makes no sense. The MANUAL CABLE locks when the battery dies?? Of course not! It is a manual cable. You pull that lever and it opens. You were so close, you pretended to pull it several times without actually pulling it. If you did, it would open.

[@JRGarage]

Yes, if it was locked and the battery dies, you’re screwed, have to do the emergency release trick.

[@itsjoel]

Great buy!

[@OurRideLife]

It doesn’t sound stock to me based on my 1999 996. It could be a Fister or Gundo modded stock exhaust. Sounds a lot like mine after getting a Fister exhaust.

[@honda4185]

LOL.. acting suprised that the floor mats was there.. duude..saw it 10min ago 🤣 Nice car tho 👌
