I Bought a TOTALED Porsche For $500 at Salvage Auction SIGHT UNSEEN!

Upgraded steering wheel, 6 speed, 4 stalk function and also 987 wheels! Great find

A 2001 is only worth $2,500 as a non runner, if the engine was knackered it would have been a bad deal

[@mathijshendriks1474]

5 speed

[@OGBK99]

He'd of got 2k for the seats plus parting out still wouldnt of been a bad deal

[@getchasome6230]

He wouldnt get $2000 for the seats.

[@laned8418]

To open the hood with a dead battery, put the positive of a jump box, jumper cables to the red post sticking out of the fuse box, and the ground goes to the door check/hinge. That will give you power to open the hood

[@plk898]

Give it an oil change and inspect the oil for metal debris, the IMS bearing can fail, checking oil will help to see if the bearing might be failing/disintegrating. You don’t want the bearing to fail as this will mean engine out and a rebuild, just my 2 cents as Boxster owner

[@ToolkiT73UK]

given the previous owner was part of the porsche club there is a good chance the IMS bearing was replaced..

[@danhard8440]

you can charge a battery through the ACC/smoke lighter

[@thirdgeargrind]

Those seats aren't as valuable as you think. Last set on ebay sold for $1500 2 months ago. The guys who are asking $2k and up have had their sets sit there for months.

[@BeIlows]

[@samtalus6435]

When there are no lower offerings on the site it's quite smart to keep the price high. Eventually someone will be desperate enough to spend 2k

[@markman63]

I once bought a running Boxter at the insurance auction for $1600. People never bid on those

[@mired914]

I own a 99 Boxster. I'm the second owner and have had it for about 10 years. And yes I've let the battery die before and never could find the cable to pop the trunk. I moved the cable to one of the vents. I ended up jumping the car through the cigarette lighter to get it open. And never change the exhaust on those, you'll lose that amazing midrange sound it makes.

[@kmartdamien89]

So.. I'm guessing the car was 2500 after parts and selling the imterior seats only spent about 500

[@928Porscheman]

Being new to your channel and watching your latest Boxster videos and comparing to this video,it is amazing to see how much you have learned about Boxsters. Your videos are fun to watch because of your enthusiasm.

[@epicscoreCS2]

i would say keep it quiet, cause it has comfy seats and make it a summer chill and relax car, keep it real its a cab.

[@daffodildeb]

Regarding the seats, check the build codes (the paper on the frunk lid). If it doesn't specify the seats that are now in it, sell 'em. If it does, you might want to keep 'em. $2500 is still cheap for a 986, even if it is a base.

[@nismocrs]

Make it louder,it sounds like a gt3!?!? And don't sell the seats👌

[@jackkost967]

It's damn near impossible to make a 986 or even a 987 sound like a gt3. Although they're both flat 6 engines, that's where the similarities stop. The GT3's have larger displacement motors, a dry sump oil-system, and are the "Mezger" engine which is a different engine than the M96 (don't know sub variant) that comes in the boxster. A straight piped boxster sounds a little ricey and doesn't have the howl that a gt3 has. And I'm not dissing you, I just thought I'd voice my knowledge (even if it may be wrong). But hell yeah, MAKE THAT SHIT LOUDER!!!!

[@jakemckinney5932]

King_TORRE_CalChi they bought it for 2500 but the seats they can sell for 2000 so they are paying 500 for it once they sell the seats

That is a score!! Good job guys. Same thing goes for the part. Heck, I expect a key fob that says Porsche to be at least $50.

[@garylangley4502]

Just thinking about it, it seems that a manual frunk release could be made with a remote choke cable, or bicycle brake cable and a few fittings at a bike store. You can make those any length you want.
