I Bought a MOLDY Porsche Boxster CHEAP at Auction! Let's Fix It!

Күн бұрын

We bought another 1999 Porsche Boxster for dirt cheap sight unseen at Copart salvage auction. We fixed it in just 20 minutes for FREE. When I first saw the car, it was in rough condition and had been sitting for years. But despite its disgusting moldy exterior, I saw potential in this vehicle and decided to take a chance on it. How can you go wrong at $1600??
In the video, I take you through the process of fixing up the car, from identifying and repairing the issues to getting it back on the road. I also share some of the unique features and details of the 1999 Porsche Boxster, as well as my thoughts on what makes this car a true gem. Overall, this is a fun and rewarding project that I'm excited to share with all of you. If you're a fan of classic cars or just love a good DIY fixer-upper story, then be sure to check out the video!

I feel like these older Boxsters will be really super desirable in a few years, you guys are so good at getting them back on the road!

Bought mine three years ago for 10,500. I could sell it now for 13,500 in a heartbeat. But I won't. I love it. Hold out for a low mileage S model. They're out there, just be a little patient.

The 996 is 90% Boxster. Keep up the mtc. When something breaks fix it immediately. I don't care if you have synthetic oil or not do an oil change every 3,000 mi. And you need to drive these cars they cannot sit for two or three months and then drive it for 30 mi and put it back in the garage for another 2 months then drive it another 25 40 mi then put it back in the garage for another month because when you're the finally decide to get on it that's when you're going to break stuff.

Hydralic lifters loose pressure over time. As the engine warms and the oil thins the lifters pump up. Had a customer insist I set the tappets wrong. Humble pie served after 10 mins.

This is literally the best spec I've ever seen of my childhood dream car. Always wanted a 986 with a hardtop and that interior is worth anything that ever goes wrong with the vehicle in my opinion.

Yes, it was worth the gamble. If you can get it cleaned up and reasonably presentable, it should be a winner. p.s. The LS 911 is sooooo tempting; better looking each time shown.

@Midnight_Mechanic Жыл бұрын

With that old-style manual hood/trunk release, there is a physical lock bar that rotates into place when the car is locked. And some of the early models don't have a way to get power to the car through the driver's kick panel fuse box, so if the battery dies when the car is locked, it becomes a massive headache! When Porsche went to electronic release, they added a little pull-out-fuse that you could hook power up to and disarm alarm etc.

Congrats, great buy! If you due a full detail , get some factory wheels, complete fluid change, new bakes, etc the car will be great and will sell easily

@f1kwa399 Жыл бұрын

As someone who bought one of these new, I can tell you the interior is called…..Boxster red, what else of course? The concept car was the same colours as yours, the same colour red was an option in the 996/911, and they still called it Boxster red. Great buy, I’d have bought it too👍

When you first started it, I was thinking cylinder bore scoring and that you would need some oil analysis or the right technique with a bore scope, but after the oil circulated, it sounded much better. Interior is very nice.

Yeah, I try to drive my 98 at least once a week, but if the weather is icky or I need my truck a lot it may sit longer. Once it gets around 2 weeks with no driving it always sounds iffy for a bit at start. Been that way the whole time I've had her (11 years!). I wouldn't panic too much, especially after 4-5 years of sitting!

So that noise is the Valves and they have to get good oil pressure for them to quiet down. Apparently, a LOT of modern cars have this problem because of the super thin oil used in so many cars nowadays. How can so many people that are supposedly " car guys " still not know some basic things about how an engine actually works ? Whatever
