You Won't Believe What Fixed Our 'Engine Damage' Porsche Boxster S!

Wow, I feel so stupid for missing this simple easy fix for our very "expensive" possible problem. We bought this 2002 Porsche Boxster S 986 from auction sight unseen with mystery mechanical damage after it was abandoned for 10 years. Last video we tried replacing multiple parts but nothing fixed the misfire. We also total up the final cost we have invested into this car.

The fact that you picked up the trash and didn't even record it tells a lot about you. Keep up the awesome work

Mechanic here, our rule of thumb is to ALWAYS check the work the customer claimed they did. Basically we act like we’re diagnosing it from scratch as if nobody has messed with it yet. It’s nothing against you but sometimes the DIY guys don’t do things properly or 100% correct (like this case) so we almost always check what has been done for reasons like this instance. Good thing they checked!

Jeff, don't let the haters bother you. You took the chance, you put in the effort, and you made a nice profit. Kudos to you and Christian. And you sold the car for a real fair price for the buyer too. Haters will hate, I say keep up the good work!!!

Dude in the bmw trying to show off not knowing these guys have multiple Ferraris and couple airplanes 😂

It is always ok to make a profit. The buyer got a great deal on it. Good deal for everyone.

Hey Jr garage, finely back on the posting schedule I see.

Love these Porsche vids! Great job y'all!

[darylwalford]

Job well done, cars like that deserve to be saved. What frustrates me looking at your videos is that bargains like that don't exist where I live in Australia. Only way I could find anything that cheap here would be if it was a wreck. Keep up the good work.👍

Awesome Jeff and Christian on Boxster🙌🏻

In a "Charity" sale, the odds will just about always be in favor of the buyer. When the vehicles show up at an auction, the people responsible for the initial inspection to determine the current mechanical condition in most cases are looking for obvious defects in the vehicles. If there's a misfire or unknown noise, the "Condition Report Writer" doesn't do an indept inspection of the engine or the problem. That's not their job. And when dealing with a Charity vehicle, there isn't a lien holder who wants to make maximum book value of the vehicle. In other words, they won't seek out a mechanical inspection to determine the cause of the engine defect. They will just list the announcement of bad engine to cover themselves in case the buyer changes his mind after purchase. I worked at an auto auction for 22 years. I also wrote Condition Reports for 7 years.

You never disappoint with your BOXSTER finds and fixes.

Don't sweat the haters bro! Celebrate your dubs! Most of us celebrate with you!

One of my favorite channels. Got me thinking more and more about buying!

[ianhardin]

Well done brothers. It's your experience and expertise with buying/troubleshooting these cars. THAT is where your profit is coming from. I would take the 997 turbo because I need that back seat for a car seat :)
