I did say his problems were caused by the badge 😂

Just over 2k

Thanks, I think we might need it! 😂

Still on the original one as well 😂

Cheers Jack, more to come, that’s for sure

I’d say avoid low miles for sure. 50k onwards seems to be good as it ensures is has actually had some use rather than being tucked away and no car does well with that. High mileage can be good if it has history to back up maintenance, buying a car even with 150k miles that’s had bushings done, suspension, regular maintenance and has a clean bill of health on the engine, you’ll be golden

I did indeed! I know I probably didn’t get everything as it would be like an hour long but obviously trying to give people the best knowledge I have

No, it’s genuine Porsche. It’s the original aerokit for the 986. It does scare the living hell out of me because of the value of it alone

@@_financial_regret_ It looks really cool. Kinda resembles the look of the s14 zenki style front bumper .

@@abkarianofs1190 thanks man! I love it too, except for the fact it scrapes in a multi story, even if you go at an angle

@@_financial_regret_ Well I think adding air cups in the front axel can help you gain a little more ground clearance whenever you needed and make your drive easy in day to day basis.

I appreciate that a lot man, thank you

@@_financial_regret_keep it up :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Then why watch a video on one?

Well I really appreciate that, Mark! I’m definitely going to keep up with this as I’m loving putting these old things right

@@_financial_regret_ if you look back on early videos of the some of today’s major car RUclipsrs, you already compare very favourably.

Not a chance

@@_financial_regret_ transforms the 986.

@@gotoylc Not for me, I hate CarPlay with a passion

I'd rather focus on the driving experience and engine noise. Also aftermarket head units always age terribly and make the interior look horrible in just a few years time.

Appreciate it Chris! As for the looks, it’s a factory aero kit and just looks fantastic to me. Fixes the issue people have with the back end looking too similar to the front

They’re very good fun, aren’t they? Good to hear man, like mine you’re driving it and it seems to have a good bearing!

£15k is more in the region of the 987 values so you’ll be okay. I’d say that the 2.5 and 2.7 from what I’ve seen don’t feel all too different as it’s 15bhp more. The S definitely will be quicker but it’s more a question of are you wanting it for speed or a cruiser?

Go for a 2005 3.2S, an incredible upgrade on the 986, Lobster claw 19" wheels make it, 15K will get a great one, zero depreciation IMO

Nice one! They’re incredibly fun cars, hopefully all goes well for you

@@_financial_regret_ I’ll find out shortly when it goes for a service and see what the mechanic says

Remember check the oil filter for gold particles. Check that regardless of engine

@@_financial_regret_ mine is a 2.7 but an early one, may be a double bearing

I actually have a buyers guide coming out at 5:30pm BST where I cover the main issue that people talk about and all the things I’ve learnt from owning it

That’s why I’m glad at an auction I know when to walk away. If only I had that ability with Facebook Marketplace 😂😂😂

What can I say, I live by my slogan

I honestly do not know. A Clio 172 is 6 grand for me to insure yet this is 2… insurance is such a joke

​@@_financial_regret_ You said it in the video, it's based on crash statistics. The risk of insuring a 986 is much lower if it's statistically less likely to be involved in a crash.

I go into decent detail in my most recent video, but yeah, it was very rusty and had a few other issues around it

This is hilarious 😂 Because the piston rings were shot and the frame was rotten…

Most recent video goes over it, so many issues with the car that just don’t make sense to fix

@@_financial_regret_ So why not sell to someone willing to take a chance on it?

@@nickytijtgat4936 because I did list it forsale. Only person to respond with a reasonable offer was a salvage yard

That's what I'm saying would you not just get it restored

I could have fixed it myself but the cost outweighs the value of the car massively. They’re a dime a dozen and cheap, this way it’s being parted out to fix other MX5s

@Learner-Driver-With-a-Mazda I did that with my old Clio. My MX-5 however had blown rings and ran like a bag of shit

Miata's ain't classic.

@@Antreas1994 over here eunos are classics. Flip up headlights and all.
