If I had a dollar for every time he said that it costs 51.000$ I could afford it

"for under fifty one thousand" is the new "bumper to bumper"
Dank Lord 69 keep your ring
$8 ?
Dank Lord 69 lol that's not even a bargain considering a Lexus RC-F or an M4 can be had for that price. Plus, that's expensive lol

I love this dark green exterior and beige interior. Its an amazing colour combo.
My first car was green. Crashed it after 3 days. My grandmother said green was unlucky. I'd never own another green car again 😂😒😭
Not to be rude but can you spell?
@@jeanpower2954 they only messed up one letter chill out
@@jeanpower2954 they spell it differently in the U.K.
yea, nice cobo
But now that era of 911 Turbo costs more like $90-100k... you can get a new 911 Carrera for ~$100k (obviously not the same as the Turbo, but still pretty crazy). Dang the used car market has gotten out of control.
You can thank pos Biden 😃
Seems to have gotten worse. 911 turbos of that era are $150k-300k on car gurus..
Pandemic inflation sucks ass!!!
Test drove a 997 turbo manual and they wanted about 135 for it.
And that Carrera now has similar performance figures to the published figures for this Turbo (3.8s 0-60, 192mph top speed).

James First I'm a police explorer (: sure do support
911's are always going to be the car that, if asked what car I would like to have most in life, no matter what it is, would be the answer. It's fast, it's luxurious, it's practical, and it's beautiful. I think it is the epitome of the concept of the "car". Sure, you can get faster, more luxurious, more practical, and arguably more beautiful cars; but almost never all at once, and never for the price and quality that causes "every uncle" to own one.
The least thing it is, is luxurious. I have a 997.1 and the most outstanding thing is the handling
This is such a complete & underrated comment that surmises such a complete & underrated car.
@@morningwaves It's pretty luxurious compared to most sports cars, especially with the full leather interior. Basic, but high quality and well put together.
"This is one of those cars you can drive to the office if you own a business and you're worried about your employees thinking that you have too much money. It's just a Porsche, everybody's uncle's got a Porsche."
Lmao yeah totally dude
Yeah, exactly, just a Porsche xD only few percent people in the world can affect super cars, that guy is tripping.
doug is the type of guy who would steal a supercar in gta so he could look for quirks and features
NIKO lmao good one
NIKO lol
- and then later park it where he took it, once he's done overlooking every quirk
Hahaha
Eric Mezenberg yes but he has to tell the waiter what the Doug score is before he looks at the column at AutoTRADER.com/understeer
"It's just a Porsche Everyone's uncle has a Porsche" well damn I guess I got all the wrong uncles!
yeah i know right?
my uncle has a Bentley GT
Jay Marin my uncle has a prison sentence
Jay Marin my uncle has a vagina
You have to remember he lives in a area where lots of people have money. Ironicly I have a uncle with a 911.
Jay Marin I don't have uncles

Oh my god
I didn't see the green tint on the car until Doug mentioned it. Thought it was black.
It's German, there's always 50 shades of black.
I'm not sure why Doug refers to it as an undesirable color. Lots of greens are nice, and this dark green looks perfectly fine.
Thats racist
My cayman s is the same color. Dark olive metallic. It looks black unless its pretty much in direct sunlight then you see the green
@@SimonsShop I have a Dark Olive Metallic 2007 C2S. It's such a complex color!
That coin holder actually makes sense in Germany 😉 Shopping carts generally have to be unlocked using a 1€ coin. Thus, pretty much everybody has a couple of coins lying around in the car to avoid getting no shopping cart when you go to a supermarket...
You have to pay for shopping carts in Germany? Where I live they are free.
@@Silexium No, you just leave a coin in a simple mechanism when getting a shopping cart. You get it back, when leaving the empty cart at the supermarket again.
Of course you do... God bless Germany

Thanks, Greetings from Germany! :D

klaxorcyvr you’ll have to wait at the end for that😏😏😏😏
LMFAO
I see nothing wrong with that
I actually like the colors on this 911, the transmission is what makes it a hard sell
Agreed... that and the excessive interior wear.
The thing Doug taught me In This video: if I get $50k... buy a subway franchise. Then I can buy this and every other $50k car he mentioned here. Lol

From the actual outside looks alone if somebody told me this car was a 2015 one, I would belive him.
Arvin Peopleinlove Maybe 2013, but above that, nah.
nah the tail lights aren't even LED, maybe 2010 but not 2015
you can upgrade to LED tail lights for $600-800
This car was a 2015 one.
same
What did the last owner use to change the climate control temperature with, a chainsaw?
i noticed that lol. they must have used that switch a crap ton to make it wear like that
Max H thats a good one ! i cringed when i saw that .. looked .. dirty..
Some of the interior finishes in the 997.1 are notoriously poor, such as the PCM knobs and switches. A lot of these issues were corrected in the 997.2.
Max H its pretty common in porsches that are a few years old.. not sure why, but supposedly theyve corrected it. still, porsche has the best quailty interior overall imho
I thought it was black before he said it was dark green.
Every time I watch an old Doug video mentioning the prices at the time I just sit here and get mad.
You know why it's under $51,000?
Tiptronic and 80k miles. That's why.
Preston Shepherd Still a pretty good deal for the performance
Preston Shepherd I'd bet 4 owners
More on the condition. I bet Autos are easier sells still. Interior looks pretty worn, even for 10 years.
Jake Kennedy my 06 4 runners interior at 140k miles is near pristine. just regular detailing despite it getting beat up on. you wonder what people do to cars
80k isn't a big deal being a porsche engine, it is not a lambo where you have to replace the clutch every time you turn on the damn car and depreciate by 10k every time as well. The porsche engine is built to last and i've known 2 people who have driven theirs up to 300k miles still running strong before upgrading and read tons of reviews by owners on forums stating the same. The tiptonic is still fun to use, no different from todays paddle shifters. And to everyone bitching about how many owners, again it doesnt matter. For cars like ferrari's it isnt uncommon to see one with 6 owners by the time it hits 20k miles, much more common on higher end cars because most people with the money want a new one sooner than your average consumer.
And I speak from experience of owning several high end vehicles, knowing others with the same, and being well in contact with a lot of mechanics who deal with mostly imports.
Who else thought it was black?
Jasper Wiblin me.
Fuck off, you colour blind elasticated mind melting idiot
I still think it's black. Either my monitor's fucked or the video's at Demuro Quality TM
Jasper Wiblin I thought Doug was black
Jasper Wiblin you watching on an android bruh ?
" Everybody's uncle has a porsche ".... Were's my porsche? 😂😂😂
You don’t get to have one, your uncle does.
Gamer and Controller I think he’s saying that he IS an uncle (and doesn’t have one).😆
Not these days. Maybe uncles from the 1980’s
This is false but usually the uncles are always cool for example I’m into cars and my uncle is to and he takes me to go look at cars sometimes that’s just my example but every uncle is cool in someway
Great car! I just got back from riding in my buddy’s 2007 997 Turbo to a local (Denver) Porsche Club meeting. Hard to believe how fast it is and how it is glued to the road! I’m very jealous so I’m going back to my bedroom to cry on my pillow. 😭
LOL! 😅
I hear ya. I had this car for three years but had to sell it :(
Product Reviews why did you have to sell?
@@quota77 Lost a very successful business. Had no business (pardon the pun) driving a car like that anymore
Did the previous owner use a knife to adjust everything on the car?
Interior cleanliness was appalling even for a "high mileage" 911
TeKaMOTO Looks like. Damn
Lol
The previous owner was Freddie Krueger
at $51k there were 4 owners, an accident and 70k miles
*Doesnt want people to look at him*
Drives yellow Hummer
God forgive him
"What the fuck are they looking at??".
It's not a hummer dipshit
RIP lol
God - And currently a yellow defender.
This is my all time favorite car. All wheel drive, traction control... I bet it's a lot faster than a Lambo in the Alps on fresh snow, hence the roof rack attachments.
I actually love the green with the tan interior. Such a classic colour combo. Kind of strange on a Porsche, more of an Aston Martin colour scheme but still looks gorgeous.
When Doug gets comfortable he turns into Matthew McConaughey driving a Lincoln

"51 thousand dollars, thats cheaper than a racket ball court"
IMO the 997 Turbo should have a higher significance rating. Last Metzger + Last manual Turbo's + Hydraulic steering.
I feel time has been increasingly kind to this car and will continue to do so.
I feel it's a car that those who know their cars appreciate what this car is.
Who only likes the quirks, I stop watching when it comes to the driving..
Neil Valecha lol I can completely relate to that
Neil Valecha me
Neil Valecha maybe if his driving had a different view and the camera was not just on his face the entire time then ill watch it
Same here. Zero interest in his driving impressions.
me too
I have to admit - this styling has aged so well. It is absolutely stunning. And... it will probably be worth more or the same 10 years from now.
it barely reached 10 years since launch.
you can actually see its kind of aged.
honestly the 996 and 993s aged better
Strunz0 Cars it's ugly . looks terrible
The porsche design has been the same shit for 50 plus years
Yes it helps when Porsche only make the slightest of incremental design changes every decade or two.
People misunderstand Porsche design. This is because Porsche are design experts and the internet is full of opinionated know-it-alls. When Porsche went water cooled with the 996, they asked themselves 'what makes a 911'. The answer is: a rear mounted engine, 5 instrument dials and the 'fly line' or 911 sillouhette. These things don't change generation to generation, everything else does such as lights, grilles, wheels, engine size, interior fittings etc. Great design is when everything changes but nothing changes. 911 achieves this. Apple does too.
Good luck finding one under 50k today 😂😂
Here to watch this video because I found one for sale for around 115k. Crazy!
new drinking game, take a shot every time Doug says the car price or mentions something its cheaper than

(997) is the best 911. Manual of course.....
I would agree but I’m going to get hate if I do
Its a wannabe 911
Be honest, you didn't notice it was green until he told you.
It’s hardly green..

Doug is the kind of guy who still makes his own mix tapes.
I love it...but what's it cost? I really can't afford to spend any more than $51,000.
jason starek Sadly, he rounded down rather than up!!!
*proceeds to direct you towards a Celica*
I got a 996 about five years back and I love it. It's a '99, so the engine uses water cooling which means that the heater works. It has a ragtop and a hardtop, 6 on the floor with two owners, 52,700 miles and was only $22k. Most used 911s and Boxsters of that vintage are good value, but you must remember to replace the bearing on the aft end of the IMS shaft or run a 5% risk of losing the engine.
The 997 Turbo would be a 2006-2008 high mileage (60k miles+) and fair condition to be $51,000. If you wanted newer and lower mileage they would go around 70 to 90k for a good turbo. If not, you can buy the Carrera base, 928 for the v8, 914, or Boxster. They are all priced below and around 40k. Once you buy a Porsche, you will not turn back.
It costs your soul. That's free.
buy a tuner lol
My how things have changed. The cheapest 997 911 I found on my Autotrader search just now was in the high 60's
He mentions right in the video (twice) the normal asking price is $65-70K. This car is dark green with high miles, and an automatic.
@@TexMex421 I'll have to pay better attention.

How I wish I had bought one 5 years ago.
It's not a bargain anymore, he was right. Now they're like 120k for a manual. 190 for rare colors
Is this under 51 thousand dollars?
a 911 turbo with an auto is blasphemy... This car should be sent to the crusher
Joeys Cleaning Lady I agree. Down with the autotragic slushbox transmission. Leave that shit for the prius and mini vans
Future Stein no
Joeys Cleaning Lady not everyone likes manual.
Tiptronic > Manual.
Under $51,000
Actual price: $50,999
He didn't lie lol
Logan Uhlhorn *$50.999,99
Aufa Majid Yessir lol
This is my dream car. It's so beautiful. One of the best looking porsches made in my opinion.
Now you can't touch a decent 997 turbo for under 120K
You can tell it's a sponsored video when he doesn't shit on the tiny rear seats by trying to show how impossible they are to get into and out of.
TKing2724 it's illegal to not disclose if a video is sponsored so if this is sponsored he would've stated it.
ᄅ98 Not on the internet it isn't. That is an FCC enforced rule and only applies to radio and television.
TKing2724 he decided to state it as a positive in the review, as its a sports car, the reason he bashed that turd volt thing is,because that's meant for practicality, which those seats ruin.
Me: will this car blow up?
Doug: not exactly
Me: ok sold
Doug's the type of guy to check a girl out for her quirks and features......
That interior is so scuffed up it looks like R2-D2 has been adjusting some settings, all ham-fisted.
Does anybody know the price of the car, I don't think he mentioned it
Tyler Neal less than $51000 because high Mileage. Average is $60k though.

Bob A Booey Anywhere from 0 to $50.999 I think.
Bob A Booey freee
its just under 51 thousand
Bob A Booey, can't remember. Sorry
Personally, I think the color scheme is beautiful! It looks nearly charcoal colored on an overcast day, and I'm sure it's almost British Racing Green in the sun. It's different from the silver, black, or red everyone else is driving.
A few months after I saw this video, I bought my first porsche. It is an 08 base cayman with manual and I absolutely love it. Thanks Doug!
Why don't you buy it if its that much of a bargain

This aged well
Here again watching 911 videos. Ever since the GR Corolla was shown, I’ve been sure that I want one. But for an estimated $40,000 I’m suddenly thinking about what other cars I can buy. This car has crept on my radar, and I gotta say, I’m am SERIOUSLY considering it.
Don’t want to be that guy but you should check out the used market for these. You won’t even find even a salvaged titled one for that price right now lol.

That interior is fucked! Did the previous owner bite the fuckin buttons an switches???
Porsche does a shit job on their interiors. Look at a 996 as proof, many are worn out looking inside. They spray paint everything with low grade crap that doesn't stand the test of time.
It is absolutely normal for the climate control buttons to wear out like that on these cars, and easy to get refinished.
Ed will driver had sex with a vampire
OMGWTFLOL that's totally far fetched. The 996 is old so ofcourse the details are bad and worse than the 997....its older lml that's like saying the BMW M5 from 2005 had a worse looking interior than the 2010 BMW M5.....no shit it's older and people upgrade lml
It's vw's old soft touch coating and it's not that great.
I will own one. Oh yes... I will own one.
And now they are more expensive.
But does it come with a BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY??!

Am i the only one who likes the color combo? And think 51 is a steal for this.. 997 are very reliable. I work for a porsche dealer & they are amazing cars without a doubt
fudgeman333 looks like the classic British racing green. I love it's look but the thing with me is that I HIGHLY prefer cars when I first laid eyes on them. LIKE the murcielago orange like color, gumperts Apollo in a blue color, and Mercedes SLR in silver....like these cars are well known in these colors and prefer them that way
No, there are a billion people in the planet which means Not a single One us is special, only the elitist think they are special which makes them typical and mediocre...
The subtle green is cool but I hate the interior, the upholstery just clashes with all the black/grey trim.
Kyle Dempsey yes definitely
This green/tan combo is very nice but I never understood why anyone would make an upper dashboard in a light color! - it makes me wonder what else they might have done that doesn't make sense.

6/10 on significance... It's the last turbo Mezger engine. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, in 2007?

997 is one of my favorite Porsches. Nothing more than a "simple" 911 and I love it. No wing thats to big, classic Porsche headlights. In Sweden you can buy one for only 35k$
35k USD/US-equivalent? or 35k of Swedish currency, before the exchange rate?
There is a mistake in this video. The "dark green" as you named it, isn't something that would lower the price. This color (at least if it's not a replica) is called "Tannengrün" (engl. fir-green) and is the original color only of those cars driven by members of the Porsche-family. There is no possibility buying a Porsche in Tannengrün. Therefore, if the paintwork is well preserved, the car costs way more than it's normal price would be. In your case I guess, that the color is a replica. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Zuffenhausen in Germany.
No, Doug is right. Green cars are HATED by many Americans. The color is a definite liability for this car. I own 4 911 Turbos, so excuse my hands-on experience...
What bad English? 😂
Dougs words are the law
first, are you sure this is tannengrün? Cause it looks way darker in the video. second, are you sure you cant order tannengrün as a custom color from the factory?
This vid sold me on the 997.2 Turbo I just picked up (with PDK, big time improvement over that Tiptronic in the video). Just threw some HRE wheels on it in my latest vid if any fellow auto enthusiasts are interested :-)
