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

- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- We finally bought a super cheap Porsche 996 Carrera! We bought this car sight unseen from auction for the price of a used Honda civic. Unknown mileage, won't start, non running, roll of the dice! Can we get his car running for the first time in years? Yes, this is the most hated 911 generation, but I think that is unwarranted. This is one of the best sports cars for the money!

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.
Welcome back JR, we missed you
JR is back and CHEAP porsche content is back!
@@JRGarageI have been looking at boxters because of you
@@JRGarage Motivating me to get myself a fun project car now 😎🤘 lol
Yesssss so happy you guys are posting again!!! Love the cheap Porsche content!!!!!
More to come!
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.
Wouldn't say great buy
It's a pile of poo
Nothing desirable
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..
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.
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
Congrats on the win! Time and time again you're coming out ahead and it's fun to watch.
"You may even get tired of winning!" Love it!
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.
Cool, so you apply 12V that way and not through the “official” electrical contact?
Yes!!!! I need this cheap porsche content!!! Happy your back!!!
More to come!
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
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!!!
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!
these 996 generations of engines is not common have bore scoring, 997 engines were really common but i wouldn't be that concerned...
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!
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.
Glad you are back 🎉
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.
Glad to see the channel back and putting out content...
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!
Truly amazing find of the 996 911 convertible....great content for many of us who want to own one...🎉😂
I've been having Porsche content withdrawal. Glad your back at it.
glad that you are back !
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!!
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 👌
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.
Can you guys do a garage tour ??😊
Yes please do one ❤
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.
Oh my gosh, over $4 per gallon for regular gas?? I better stop complaining about paying $2.85 around here in Florida.
Come to Europe, minimum 6.5$ per gallon
Come to India, its $5 here
this was filmed months ago i think
Im glad you're both back
Welcome back guys, greetings from Sweden. We have missed your content
People underestimate these old Porsches…they are more reliable then everyone thinks 👍🏼
This would make a great candidate for a LS Swap!!! Great Vegas Car!!!!
Great first start guys on your first video back. Congrats!
Glad to have you back 🤝
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.
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!
please post more regularly, I love these kind of videos!
Fixing up the interior would be my suggestion for a second video, especially fixing that horrible covered steering wheel.
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.
17:56 that lifter sound started creeping up 🤣🤣
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
This is the content we demand!
Great buy and welcome back can't wait to see the content for 2024
"Welcome back to JR Boxter"😂
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😅
Please Don't Touch It !!......... Let It Be !! ...... What A Great Car !! Bless You & You're Brother ...............Peace
How much are you asking for this vehicle?
Should totally do some vids with the bmws! Cheap big power! Missed the content, thanks for bringing it back!
More to come!
I love this video. Congrats! I'm a Porsche enthusiast though (3,2 Targa, 964 C2 and 997 4S cab) ❤
Christian looks so good in those fifties style glasses ….. doctor zhivago 😘🤓
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 . 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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?
mar del plata?! ese porche estuvo en argentina?!
Homie doesn’t miss with the cheap Porsches 😮
Welcome back and well done. You make your own luck with hard work and knowledge...
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
LOL.. acting suprised that the floor mats was there.. duude..saw it 10min ago 🤣 Nice car tho 👌
Why havent you ever tried backfeeding a battery signal through a light cable or something? Sometimes a simple 9v batterybwill work.
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.
@JRGarage gotcha. Just had a thought. Glad you're back!
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
Do they have cigarette lighter ports you could inject 12v to open the frunk?
Great content, I wouldnt mind owning a cheap porches just to give it a try, even if it kills me hahah
Hell yeah! Jeffrey you're back 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 we missed you
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.
Enjoy your Jahp Crahp.....
Welcome back plz fo more videos plz
Which broker do you use with Copart? Super cool video. TY
We gotta get you the hands free cam holster, my boy
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 🇨🇦
Mardel Plata is a beach in Argentina, and pacha is a disco in buenos aires too
does he mention this on the video ?? i didnt watch it completly
It's a club on Ibiza as well, as the sticker says
Would love to see another video of you guys going through cars at copart!
Great buy!
Welcome back jr garage
Just saying you said “I would love to pick up a cheap 911” I would say every single person watching this video would love to pick up a cheap 911.. 😂😂
It would be very interesting to see that hard top got off and inspect how's the soft top underneath
Welcome back! Love the Porsche content. 👍🏻🇬🇧
I have a very early 996 built in March 1998. Its been a great car in the 6 years i have owned it.
This just gives me hope that perhaps the cheap sports car isn't dead yet, honestly.
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!
well done JR glad the luck is coming your way ,all the best from MALTA
bro .. is it possible to ad power via the cigarrete port only to open the trunk ? greets from germany
What is the auctions that you usually buy cars? Is it possible to buy them from europe? Welcome back G
Not a fan of 911 convertibles, would rather have a Boxster any day.
One day I’ll get my Porsche from you guys 👍🏻. Get exited with you guys working on them👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love you guys, you have great energy, and you are lucky as duck man.
Just hardtop alone has to be worth some coins
New sub , you talk fast, how many coffees you drink ?
Good to see the brothers again!
Check the mufflers, theres a very common bypass mod that makes those models noisy :D
You can access fuss 30 (I think) then connect jump cables key in ignition the car powers up and you can open the front
On the 996?
W video but I am really looking forward for the Gallardo rebuild video
The mannequin tRump looks good with you.
What your take On Porsche Cayenne Vehicles? Ever brought one yet? Or the BMW X6 inline 6cyl. .
im so happy hes posting again!
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.
Yes, if it was locked and the battery dies, you’re screwed, have to do the emergency release trick.
It's manual but it will lock out
LETS GO HE MAKES A 911 VIDEO THE GOAT IS BACK
Glad you found a good home for it.
CONGRATS!!!👍👍👍
i kinda want to try the boxter trick for my first car
Jesus, how long does it take???
Looking to buy a Porsche 997 with a budget of 25k to 28k USD. I am also thinking a salvage would be better, given my budget.
Any suggestions, or directions y'all can share, I am new to Porsche world ?
