That horrific accident probably could have been prevented by a simple purchase of a new set of tires. Glad the body fluids were wiped off the nice interior before filming. Great Vid!
Awesome series! Wouldn't it be necessary to x-ray the rims, esp. for a high performance car like this? I've had to x-ray and let go of rims that entered less troubling circumstances...
dumb question, have you thought about getting a low profile frame rack to help pull these cars out to help with the tear down? glad i found this, love his energy
So dead inventory is only dead from an estimate from this post because there is value in most of these parts you might want to look at what dead inventory looks like over a 3 year period. This might help you to come up with a better value on dead inventory. It’s still trickling profit minus storage. This keeps the income constant like a bonus check each month:)
Been watching loads of your old vids past few days after YT algorithm suggested your channel, only just subbed, thank Bret jj Johnson for his comment. 👍
I’ve always been interested in the recycled parts industry and suspected that a successful business really has to be dialed in. Wow you’ve got your processes dialed in for sure. Impressive.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
Are the rear quarter panels not worth good money ? Front bumper , surley some back st garage could have repaired it ? Drivers seat office chair ? Aircon pipe work for one with undercarage damage? I used to take every loom out my cars and weigh them in for scrap at xmas. I know you cant store every single part but broke my heart seeing all those parts get thrown away as they would be fortunes ftom Porsche.Peace.
Of course you know but be aware of what BIO means written on the front fender - I didn't see any protection of hazmat being used when you stripped the interior.
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.
I got 2018 4 runner limited. I am disabled and trying to save money on insurance. I hit Ice and totaled it. Front and rear damage. It’s got 3rd row seating and brown leather interior. Beautiful. Can you try to help me? Buy it off me
All those little pieces add up too, seat covers, interior Making the best out something not so good... Hope those in car where okay... Don't see any blood stains
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.
Unfortunately it’s something we deal with a lot being a salvage yard. Buying cars at auction we never truly know the details of the accidents, as always we wish the best for everyone involved.
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.
The brand got his name from Ferdinand Porsche. And the last letter has to be pronounced like the beginning "e" of the word "ever" ! I don't know why ppl think that the E is not pronounced.
With 30k you buy the same car or newer and accident free in Europe.I do not know what is happening overseas but an old porsce engine costing 30k it sounds me like joke until I saw your ask price.Otherwise nice work guys!
$30k for a clean title 997.1 turbo? I have seen some around 37.5k euros which is $40k USD. But I can't remember when that was or the mileage of the cars.
Surprised they did have decontaminate biohazard from this wreck - someone must have bought the farm in this wreck! Just look where that pole ended up. 😭😭

Really good video, knowledgeable , honest and very well narrated , good luck with the parts sale. Michael UK
This has quickly become my favorite channel
I like seeing the 997 part outs, I currently own a 9972 and i find them very interesting
I’m glad I found this Channel. I’m a huge Porsche fan.

If they balance up ok I doubt they will be cracked…
Should save the roof put some wood poles on all four corners some little kids could have a 9:11 roof under Playhouse
Very cool, thanks for the breakdown !!!
Good luck. I hope your able to re-coup that 30k. That's a lot of work to strip.

a great description and vid, thanks for showing us, cheers NZ
I could use the bezel you threw away for the cluster.
In particular, I need the clear plastic lens. I broke mine repainting the bezel.
TIA

Will those PCCB brakes fit on my Nissan Juke-R?
great video + presentation + knowledge! Well done mate! Cheers NEW SUB 🙏🏻
Get a deer/cow skull and use that Y pipe as the antlers for your wall art
Subscribed just for this content. Good luck with the parts. Definitely cut out the quarters!!! And big ups to Fernando!!! Lol
Unfortunately there quarters were no do’s up BAD
@@scraplifegarageFrom what i saw the both rear quarters were in good shape.
@@kaloianivanov5338 From what I saw, in person, while working on the car, they were bondo'd up trash.
man i wish you guys were closer. would love to work at a a place like this
Really sweet! I have a 996tt speed yellow/brown. Rare combo
Adaptive Sports Seats are the must have option on all P Cars.
I’ve always been interested in the recycled parts industry and suspected that a successful business really has to be dialed in. Wow you’ve got your processes dialed in for sure. Impressive.
and your outtakes!! great!
Why wouldn't ypu cut the rh quarter panel off for sale? Just curious as to why you wouldn't pick it clean?

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

I could watch videos like this all day long
who died in this car......
Be interested if you would do a breakdown later after parts have sold to see how the profit worked out
I LMBO 😂 when you said well im going to tell you to get the h3ll out of here.lol😂😂😂😂😂

You are a great spokesperson for your company i commend you sir Iam new to the channel and I'm impressed 😎 learned a few things already 😀
So why you chuck the front bumper? Looked ok.
I’m interested in the rear spoiler and deck lid when you sell it
What was the mileage on the car all the fluids were clean
26K milles
@@dimondghost made sense ... impeccable engine fluid
What's up with the Black MR2 in the background.
I didn't notice but why couldn't you have cut up the back of the car and sold the quarters were they that bad, or do they not sell?
Nice Yellow 997 Turbo
Just subscribed 2 days ago! Love the content!
09:21 That's not 22 years you gEniUs! 🥴
That's 27 years! Know your numbers! 🤓
😁🤣
with the turbo pipe you should get a bull/cow skull and use the pipe as the horns😳
Hi, Im from Lithuania. Watching Your videos :) how can I get that damaged driver seat from that yellow 997? :)
Wonder if the 2008-era tires led to whatever accident totalled the car? Those are some OLD tires.
remove the damaged seat and remove the cover a good trimer can put it on another frame
The covers on the tandem pumps aren't coated and rust out easily.
you can assemble a Subaru with a porsche engine and with injection control FUELTECK 700 WHICH JUST LAUNCHED
Doing a gt3 in the future would be amazing to watch! Love the vids by the way just found the channel last week
Go back in the series, I did one a while back!
I see alot of good parts and the oil didnt look bad at all coming out of engine. Im happy you must be thrilled hahah.
If that was my car, With the price of oil in the States and an engine being 30 grand my oil would look like golden syrup lol

Hey I need a bunch of interior stuff and just hard ware for this car
Love to buy that box of hardware
Of course you know but be aware of what BIO means written on the front fender - I didn't see any protection of hazmat being used when you stripped the interior.
You have caught the Porsche bug.. BAD!!
Still haven’t driven a 911!
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.
It's a 997.2-991.1 steering wheel. 997.1 had the triangle steering wheel. So they did a swap
I know a guy with two AMC Marlins , 327: 4 speed, one runs and drives, the other is parts..,. also pretty cheap.
I got 2018 4 runner limited. I am disabled and trying to save money on insurance. I hit Ice and totaled it. Front and rear damage. It’s got 3rd row seating and brown leather interior. Beautiful. Can you try to help me? Buy it off me
Couldn't you tig weld the Y pipe?
Was that Porsche oem yellow tape?
Great video.
You could send out those seat belts and have them redone and they could replace the seat belt fabric and make them look new again.
Unfortunately eBay fees are more than 10% when you factor in PayPal or eBay payments.
Consider this the 997 Turbo appetizer, next up? Color reveal!
Those rock hard tires are what probably killed that car and theres Fernando measuring the tread depth on rotten tires .
That feeling when the o2 sensor actually comes out.. I think 2 of mine were easy, and 2 were a nightmare
Unmatched!
Paul Walker 2.0? Wondering if old/hard tires caused the accident. 🤔
Yep, considering it's the 4 small patches keeping you on the road, 2008 tyres on a car like that seems a strange decision?!
why don't you cut and keep the rear good quarter panel ?that worth lots of money.
What about the Quater pannels? you guys don't sell it?
Good Man Speaker
Incredibly these comrades bought a wrecked car
All those little pieces add up too, seat covers, interior
Making the best out something not so good... Hope those in car where okay... Don't see any blood stains
Get ahold of the Goonzsquad Brothers, They ae rebilding a Porsche right now and need Parts...unless you already have!
Different generation
@@luketc1 Ya, I know but I am sure he may have or can get what they need.
pourquoi vous ne vendez pas tout le coté droit de la caisse , elle a l'air propre .
Where do you sale the parts?
interesting breakdown ,,, mind you , it was a nice car to begin with.
Ugh man that was a rare, awesome color combo for that turbo 997. What the heck happened? Poor thing
The bumper cover just went into the trash. That's was yellow gold.
Why would you throw away roof with all the headliner and sunroof parts?!
Saw the 1 Sport seat on ebay. wish it wasn't the wrong color :D
Why did you not take all parts of the car???? Good video.
Man no way that guy survived??!!
Wish I knew what the story of this car was because that is some insane damage
I believe it's a PDK transmission; very different than Tiptronic!
That's tiptronic
FD and Juke out here photo bombing!
Leakdown test only goes so far. What if you have a rod knock, main bearing knock, spun bearing etc.
thats why you send away an oil sample for testing
Them engines go for 10-15k in Europe. For 30k I can have an entire car, who in their right mind will buy it from you at that price?
Well go and buy an entire car, and shut up
@@ithemaster1249 I have many cars and parts. Those prices are insane and no one will buy it for such a price, if you dont like that step under a bus
I have few engines , never ever 10k for good solid engine .
Not with that mileage and condition stateside
This is America not Europe prices are different deal with it
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.

Yes, the factory yellow stripe steering wheels are uber expensive... dumb, but that's how Porsche makes money on options.
Just asking , why couldn't the car be rebuilt (I am new to the car craze)
Wow, is all I can say. As bad as the car is, just imagine how bad the persons body might be damaged.
Unfortunately it’s something we deal with a lot being a salvage yard. Buying cars at auction we never truly know the details of the accidents, as always we wish the best for everyone involved.
The driver did not survive the impact. Side impacts can be lethal at 50kph and this must have been a pole impact at a higher speed.
Love yiur videos
Your guys are very clever well done
a lot of seatbelts can actually be refurbished by specialists.
Goonzquad may need some parts for their build
That’s a tiptronic… not PDK as they were introduced in 2010
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?
