    We have 2 Lamborghinis to reveal, and we have 2 more cheap Porsches to reveal… Which do you want?? 🤔
    Hope y’all liked this one! This Boxster really fought us the whole time, but I’m happy we were able to save another one🙏🏼

    05 987 Boxsters will also be programmed with the Old Convertible top setting for the RCM. It's possible late 05's use "New", but if the convertible top is funky this may be the reasoning.

    Love happy endings. I am so wanting a Boxster or Cayman, But I'm disabled with no disposable income to speak of. I will be in a position to spend $10,000 around the end of May. So I've been familiarizing myself with Copart, Auto Tempest, and others so I know where to get the most bang for my buck. And yes, JR Boxster Is a great rebrand.

    • @JRGarage

      Yes, salvaged (not salvage) and restored salvage are equivalent. CA vs AZ

    Those 987 Boxsters are a lot of car for the money. The 2008’s are the best in terms of lowest percentage of IMS issues.

    • @JRGarage
      @JRGarage  День тому

      I believe 2006-2008 are all equivalent in terms of IMS reliability? All have new updated large bearing.

    • @andrewbryl
      @andrewbryl День тому

      @ my theory is by that time, the IMS was a known issue and many owners were religious about oil changes being on time and that lowered the failure rates to not be an issue anymore. It’s just a theory but on rennlist it’s a small percentage of people mentioning 2008 models with an IMS problem.

    Central locking control module got wet and car doesn't unlock, with fob or key.
    It starts, roof, lights etc all work, so ice smashed a window to get in.
    How do u override the locking system??
    Can u do it manually if u get ur hand to the lock ?
    Or is there a fuse that u can put power to ??
    Can u help me ??

    Like this 987 but I noticed you aren't leveling the car for the oil swap. This leaves quite a bit of the old oil in the car as you are tipping it forward and the drain plug is in the back of the pan. Small, but not so small as you also leave the crud I the pan that should be drained out every change. End of rant.

    hi guys thank you for being you seeing young people play around with these buckets of bolts often not written off by the insurance company which means they make money out of something that is virtually worthless from the moment you get it but I am happy to see young people interested in improving their understanding of the motor vehicle by Porsche Regards out from down under where we have garage Queens we don’t drive them on the road because you’ll be attacked by someone wearing a blue uniform even if they see it parked, they can’t help themselves. This is an education for them because when they stop you they want to talk to you because basically nobody talk to them for Monday end of the year to the other welcome to Australia Where there is no law.

    10:00 - who cares about that and complains ?
    You do a proper maintenance and you will not face the issue.
    If you saved the money for the maintenance or hired a terrible lazy porsche technician you have learned a lesson that it might be cheaper to do proper maintenance or learned what is important for the maintenance.
    Makes no sense to complain cause GM had the same issues but they had put the first control units for example in the door area and when the car had not been parked in a garage the usual weak GM front window bond was leaking water into it and ran down onto the control unit in front of the passenger door where it had been stored. Why would you do that ?
    If you start thinking this way you end up with all control units in the roof - which no one really wants either.
    At least the Porsche survived 20 years and maybe another 20 years - compared to a lot of other cars that have been recycled already.
