In this video I try to make my old 2007 Porsche Cayenne Turbo like new by fixing all the faults. There are quite a few such as a leaky roof, smoke from the exhaust, faulty electrics and many more. How much will all this cost me? Watch the video to find out.

11,000 pounds for a 500 hp old Porsche is not bad at all. You can’t get any fantastic car like this for this price.

In Germany you can get these cars for free. You have to pay triple the price for gas in a year. Nobody wants that

@85NickT Ай бұрын

@@HansPeter.MrUniverse You say nobody wants that, but it depends on how many miles you do. I only do about 2500-3000 in my silly second car (not a Porsche). If it did 30mpg that would cost me about £700 per year in fuel. If it does 20mpg it costs me £1050. Even if you only get 15mpg it's going to cost you an extra £700. £350 per year isn't a big price to pay for the lols. You could buy a much newer, very fuel efficient car, but A) You won't have as much fun and B) You can lose more in depreciation in a couple of years than my entire car cost, including fuel and the occasional unexpected repair bill.

I had a 1978 Porsche 924 (I know VW Porsche but looked good) It needed a new cigarette lighter so I could use my radar detector. Went to Porsche to see what I needed and how much. (Before internet like today) They told me what I needed and was around $60 to $70. They told me to go to the auto parts store and buy a VW one. I did and like $12. I do like how some brands you can interchange the parts and bypass the brand increase in price. I am sure Lexus and Acura do the same.

A bigger intercooler, some performance air filters new spark plugs and fuel filters and a ecu remap .I'm sure this big old girl still has more to give .

The bill is eye-watering, but not crippling, considering you have fixed so may issues and brought a 17yr old car back up to snuff. Also, as you suggest an independent specialist may be cheaper. And some of those jobs could even have been done by my local garage. Overall, reassured. Now back to browsing Autotrader...😅

Ok it's about content creation, but I like the content! The amount of debris in the engine bay was mind blowing. I like to use OPC's as my cars are quite new, but I'm not sure I'd have given them an '07 model as I think a good Indy (and we probably all know one or two of those) would have done the work for a much lower price, depending on how much the standard OPC rate is discounted by for a classic. My thought was that for not much money overall, Matt now has a very nice car. Yes it guzzles gas, but if you don't do many miles or can afford the cost it's a hell of a car!
