Key takeaway is if you don’t have the kind of money Will has to buy and maintain a Porsche, or any kind of vintage car, beware of the future cost of ownership. These cars are like old ladies, they need a lot of love and attention, and they’re expensive. I paid top $ (or in my case €) for a pristine low mileage 997.2 C2S. I love the car and have no regrets in buying it but every time it needs even routine maintenance it costs a lot more than the BMW’s and Audi’s I’ve owned over the years.
Beautiful 86 color combo. The car looks so good stock. The older cars become the harder it is to find unmolested original versions. U have a winner, nice find. Keep as is and spend the time enjoying and driving it.
Agreed, and I'm glad he kept the seats as that would have ruined the look IMHO. I owned a '86 944 Turbo with the same seats and they were very comfortable.
I wanted a 981 Cayman S with the PDK and Sport Design steering wheel. Checked out a lot of local cars and eventually ended up finding one on Carvana of all places. I decided to take the chance, picked up the car, and got it thoroughly PPIed by a trusted shop during the 7 day return window. I was honestly a little surprised when the shop called and let me know the car was fine. The previous owner had the car wrapped in PPF and some nice heat protecting window coating. Chassis was spotless underneath. Zero overrevs. My car is the final year of the 3.4L 9a1 engine and driving it is everything I imagined and more.
Great video Will! 🎉 I will add my experience too. 1. Will already had a big relationship with his mechanics (I mean big $$$ spent at his workshop) before buying this meteor grey 86, which is stunning btw. Probably not your case if it’s your first aircooled 911 purchase. In this case, go see first the car, then find an aircooled specialist and go to their workshop and show them pictures and documentation of the car (maintenance records, compression tests etc). Of course, the aircooled specialist will also be motivated to ask you to check stuff because he may also be getting work from you. If anything happens when you drive the car back home, you could still call him for advice/guidance. 2. About getting info from previous owner, it might not be possible for modern 911 if you buy from Porsche dealership due to privacy matters. Then, you need to have the conversation with the seller/dealer to get as much info about the car history. Remember, buying the seller is super important if you cannot reach out to previous owners. 3. About competition : again, if it’s your first 911, you might not be as well connected as you could. Get your financing / cash ready so you can fire as soon as everything clears out (PPI and good feeling about the seller) to beat the competition. Good luck on your search for your 911! Btw @Rennthusiast, can you make a video about this McIntosch stereo? ❤ Thanks! 😊
I am no collector, but after owning about 30 cars over my adult life, I bought my 1st Porsche in 2013, a 2010 Boxster 987.2 CPO at a local Porsche dealership, over 100K miles later and a few mods (Soul exhaust, ECU map, Numerics shifter, odds and ends) I still love every drive, even if it’s just down to the coffee shop and back. Bottom line, don’t wait, take the plunge (eyes open of course) and drive the hell out of it. You will never regret it.
I like this channel because it offers excellent and helpful content. I am 40 years old and I am finally getting my first Porsche very soon. Owning a Porsche has been a childhood dream of mine, and I have always been interested in the brand. Among all the models, I am mostly interested in the 718/997/911. These three models really speak volumes to me in a way I cant describe.
Thanks Will for the advice. You have a lot of experience to pass along. I think you were fortunate the seller let you do some much pre purchase. I can't imagine many folks would want to allow to have their gear oil drained as part of a pre inspection and no due diligence money given. Must be some good faith with the selling agent and the seller was no in a big hurry.
That interior color compliments the exterior color so well. Great video! I’m in the market for an 87 to 89 and have had a few fall through in the last couple of months including a brown 87 on BAT. The hunt continues!
My mod thinking on good original cars is the basic ¨if it ain´t broke don´t fix it.¨ I too have often regretted doing an ¨upgrade¨ which really did not net any real performance gain. I´m glad you left those beautiful seats alone. Fight the toomuchmoneyitis syndrome! On the other hand, if the car needs safety upgrades, I have no problem adding a shiny new part to the mix.
That’s a great buy, i’m happy for you. The 86’ 930 wls what i have drove once was in also Meteor grey with burgundy interior and heated electric sport seats. My favorite Porsche color is the riviera blue but i fell in love with the meteor grey because it’s so beautiful how it highlights the shape of the 911.
Love the “917” wood shift knob in your Meteor Gray. Nice vintage touch. The type of mod worth doing! Great video. I’ve applied thinking similar to yours in previous Porsche purchases and it’s really paid off. Thanks for sharing!
Nice color combo, glad you decided to keep stock seats, I had a 964 in similar grey and regret ever letting that car go. Keep up with the great and candid content !
WOW! Love that metallic Gray Carrera! Lucky man! I’m over in the uk and planning to buy a 997 Carrera S next month! Just searching Autotrader & Porsche specialists for just the right one! Looking forward to it!👍👏👏👏😊
Hi mate, thanks so much for the such amazing videos from you , Iv been looking at 1996 993 recently , I am big fan of classic air cooler porsche, but I am not 100% sure if i will regret or not after I buy 993? any suggestions?
Great to see you slowing down on the quick mod path! enjoyed seeing the bullet point method of recommendations on the video, good touch! Keep up the great work, look forward to the review video. Had no idea Mcintosh did Car Audio, what a great addition.
I did dial in the suspension and wheel size on this car. Stock ride height, while comfortable, doesn’t lend itself to the type of driving I do. I didn’t need to time figure that out and I think I’m advantaged given I drove a like example for 12,000 miles or so. I also put 16” wheels on it to be able to fit good tires. The 15’s, which look great and which I kept, really only mate up with Pirelli P6000’s which are not good. The car also came with a lightweight flywheel and aftermarket LSD. Love the LSD but I don’t like the LWF. Might change that later but I really just don’t want to get into that right now.
Such a cool car, the 86! The interior color is so nice. Enjoy the rides! Would you agree there is merit in first owning 'less than your perfect' air cooled Porsches? We found our perfect one right away and are not in a position to own multiple. So we remain curious about what we have not experienced 😊
Congrats on your full circle Back To the 86 journey, Will! 🙂 I'm looking to update my 87's speakers, and it looks like your 86 has nice ones both in the rear deck and in the doors. Do they sound good? Any idea what they are? Thanks, and Happy Air Cooled New Year! And keep on Porscheing!
If I had a garage like that I would never wonder into my house. Just give me a recliner along with my favorite whiskey and cigar and this is what they call heaven.
I'm hoping to buy a 992 Carrera GTS at some point in the next few years, cost for a new one here starts at £122k. I'm hoping to get one most likely Pre-Owned using PCP since it allows for an easier letgo of money over a longer period of time. It may have a small amount of interest estimated at 4-12% but that is something I am willing to pay for my dream car. I am aware of the service costs and ownership costs as well as the criminally insane insurance costs here which is why I plan to drive it very little during the PCP period so I do not potentially run low on money - it'll be something i drive way more once I have finished the contract and bought it
I found my 1983 Porsche 944 that had one owner and only 50,000 mi parked on the side of the road with a for sale sign on it. Crawled around under the car. Looking for rust or damage and found none. Bought it that day.
Little bit of luck (especially with new car allocations), a little bit of effort (Rennlist, PCA, word of mouth), and a little bit of timing (the market is cooling and good cars should be easier to find now at more reasonable prices). I am loving my 992 T as well, but I do have the itch for a 991.2 GT3 Touring but I haven't yet found the right spec... but the hunt is a big part of the fun.
I agree…good ones are going to become more publicly available. I spoke with the GM of a Porsche dealership specifically about allocations, how they *really* work, how to sometimes work around the desire to keep them in-market as well as how dealers decide who gets them. I have a video in the que in which I’ll share what I learned.
Nope. No 17’s. Too heavy. The car came with 15’s and I moved to 16’s (easily reversible mod and I would say is a non/negotiable for any spirited drivers). It’s hard to find good tires for the 15’s. Mine came with Pirelli P6000’s which slide with zero effort. I recommend 16’s, not 17’s.
Please help…so i have my ppi…what do i do with it? Example 80k shocks are leaking and oil drip from indeterminate location. Do i bargain the seller down? Know seller will auction off 911 to sight unseen buyer in a few weeks, why would he bargain? How about a new video that addresses the so what? Thanks. Steve pca member.
@@Rennthusiast good reasoning. i went for a g50 as it didnt feel all that modern to me. just a little more precise. ive felt a lot if variation in the 915. if its set up right its terrific. if its not, its def not for me
It’s cheap to join PCA and I don’t believe it’s a non-negotiable to own one to join. At a bare minimum they have a trial membership level. Go into Facebook groups and interact. Find live meets and events, stick your hand out and try to meet others..It’s an accepting community. Events: DRT in Miami, Werks Reunion, Rennsport Reunion. Many larger cities have Porsche meet-ups at Porsche dealers. Those are a few ideas.
Nice car, BUT these speakers and sound system, shifter and steering, exhaust system… Why not let it as original as possible? I wouldn’t modify and even suggest Recaro for such classic cars. All my personal opinion. Overall appearance of your new „G“ just great. And last, papers and known history also very important because of often fake mileage.
@@Rennthusiast wuauh! I have to say, good and very experienced eyes; congratulations. But just small rim spacers with only the original 15 inches and not lowered.
Really lovely 3.2. And mostly good advice - a really detailed inspection by a trusted mechanic is fantastic if it can be arranged, and while I do usually tweak my cars I agree there's a lot of potential downside in the whole "mods" thing. But some of this advice isn't hugely practical for most buyers. By definition, we can't all buy "off market" cars, otherwise all the cars would effectively be "on market".
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I have bought several cars off-market (or pre-market?) and I have also bought them when actively listed. The former is a much more pleasant buying experience. And developing ways to find them pre-market is totally doable for anyone with some creativity and willingness to stick their neck out.
@@Rennthusiast Agree that it can be a much nicer process (not always, a bad vendor is a bad vendor) and that for anyone really, really serious about all this it's doable. But with the best will in the world, most people don't have the time / their limited time budget is better spent elsewhere. For the small niche of us that are really afflicted by this car / Porsche thing, I think we are all doing it anyway. It's the sort of thing that happens organically because you're a full on enthusiast and you just love being immersed in the cars and from that comes the connections, the exposure and so on. For those not already in that space, I'm not convinced how practical it is to attempt specifically to buy a car. I think be definition most of these cars sell "on market" and thus by definition that's how most people are going to buy them.
I thought your red 86 Porsche was every bit as great looking as this grey one. Outside of a desire for color change I doubt it was a great move financially selling a sorted red car and buying all over again to iron out another car. But there again this is not a financial advisory channel. I think you buy, prefect a car and then sell too quickly. Nobody makes money doing this and is rather the opposite. I’d go with the route of buying a complete clunker Porsche like a 928, 944 turbo, or even 911 if you have to stick with them for super cheap. Then go the route of fixing them with the optionally of making profit on them if you sell quickly which you do. I doubt any money is being made purchasing these higher end cars and dumbing money into them only to sell and rebuy the same car 2 years later.
Key takeaway is if you don’t have the kind of money Will has to buy and maintain a Porsche, or any kind of vintage car, beware of the future cost of ownership. These cars are like old ladies, they need a lot of love and attention, and they’re expensive. I paid top $ (or in my case €) for a pristine low mileage 997.2 C2S. I love the car and have no regrets in buying it but every time it needs even routine maintenance it costs a lot more than the BMW’s and Audi’s I’ve owned over the years.
That’s why you gotta learn to do the maintenance yourself. More fun and saves thousands. Plus, you can be sure it’s done correctly every time.
