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!!!!!

[@boffam00]

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..

[@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.

[@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.

[@GT380man]

Cool, so you apply 12V that way and not through the “official” electrical contact?

[@chrisbailey2597]

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

[@JRGarage]

[@SirBeefyy]

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

[@minnesnowtan9970]

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

[@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...

[@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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@StrankDavid]

Glad you are back 🎉

[@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.

[@shysgarage2405]

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

[@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.

[@bouverscustoms1652]

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

[@timbardam5878]

glad that you are back !

[@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!

[@jerryn8333]

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

[@simplecarblog5663]

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

[@rexd.cundiffjr.4905]

How much are you asking for this vehicle?

[@benlee6500]

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

[@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?

[@tazanteflight8670]

Im glad you're both back

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

bro .. is it possible to ad power via the cigarrete port only to open the trunk ? greets from germany

[@faakhirraza3874]

I’m about to buy a boxster 2.7 2001 but it’s not been turned on since 2017 when the owner died. Any advice before buying it for £1800 which is $2100

[@AdventuresWithChesh]

Do they have cigarette lighter ports you could inject 12v to open the frunk?

[@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.

[@rays658]

Another Great Buy! You guys are sitting on a lot of cars, are they appreciating enough to offset the money you have tied up in them? Enjoying the content. Thanks Ray 🇨🇦

[@matthewcamenzuli]

Just as I was about to comment to reccomend the forst facelift headlight change were the orange indicator got swapped out for a clear one I saw the end message😅

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@itsjoel]

Great buy!

[@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!

[@Kochie1985]

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

[@paulmycock7855]

well done JR glad the luck is coming your way ,all the best from MALTA

Great content, I wouldnt mind owning a cheap porches just to give it a try, even if it kills me hahah

[@lastthug1371]

Hey Chris fix I really need help with my 1997 Honda accord. So story is on November 6th on the way to work I got hit by a truck (my body) on a longboard he ran a red light (hit and run) and I got lucky that it threw me off the board and got some scrapes and bumped up, so I got a van and I deep cleaned it and restored it, it broke down on me, so I went and bought my sisters 1997 Honda accord that I did a lot of work on while I still lived local to her, and drove it all the way home (8 hour trip) was coming home from work and it got crashed the power steering failed while it was raining taking an exit ramp and sent me into an embankment destroying my radiator I drove it home 6 minutes with 0 coolant, I don’t know who to turn to or what to do. So please if you have any advice because my best guess is both the transmission and engine are completely shot after driving it home (because I couldn’t afford a tow). Just looking for any advice or type of vehicle I should look for within the 2k range because everything for 2k seems to have a blown engine or something severely wrong.

[@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.

[@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.

[@RevSolution4U]

Can you send me information on that black 986 with aerokit?

[@guywadsworth3637]

You can access fuss 30 (I think) then connect jump cables key in ignition the car powers up and you can open the front

[@paulcampbell114]

On the 996?

[@mrcko45]

why on your red Porche lighting check engine light

[@Tc56712]

hi Can anyone guide me on how to find old auto parts dealers in the USA online, any website with all info or directory

[@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.

[@tomlloyd2696]

Some people have multiple keys on their key ring and the weight of that causes the ignition 2 prematurely fail

You can also jump the battery from the engine bay. Of course, that might be locked too...

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!
