Fixing All The Issues On Our Cheap 987 Boxster S + First Drive In Years!



Today we DIY fix everything wrong with our cheap Porsche 987 Boxster S we bought from salvage auction sight unseen. This was was the cheapest in the USA because it was non running and had unknown mileage. We got it running for the first time in years last video and now we finished sorting it out for only $300. We go for the first drive in 4 years, and WOW, this thing drives and sounds amazing! Does it need a straight pipe exhaust?

  1. Why the rush of moving hand away from the gear stick in every video like its burning hot. 800hp around is the first time you need both hands on steering wheel. The need of talking money in every video also. Come on, put the brother more in the talks and call Sasha for next video.

  2. Great car – stock exhaust on base/s is great. You're correct – PSM failure error is normal until you drive it since you disconnected the battery. Rear module has 2 fields in the module where you set the VIN – I guess the car doesn't care if it has a different VIN. Seems like the convertible top latch microswitch is broken – you can touch it with your finger where the metal latch slides into the top windshield and hits the microswitch.

  3. I'm sitting down here in Casa Grande and we have very few cool cars here. Everyone here has a Challenger and thinks that the top. Its not. When I was a kid I heard "Lifes been good" on the radio, wanted a Maserati ever since. My actual dream car is a 68-69 Camaro RS SS, your Porsche is cheaper. Just found your channel a few days ago, great content and finds. Here's to the next one.

  4. The 987 is one of the most underrated cars on the planet. It's far more substantial in quality and feel than the 986, yet far more attainable than a 981and offers a more analog driving experience. The cars are not without their faults, but propertly maintained they're wonderful. The key to unlocking these cars is an exhaust, shifter with cables, aftermarket suspension and a tune. It transforms the car.

  5. I've really come to enjoy your videos and adventures. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your content is both fun and interesting. This car is amazing, and I can just picture it all cleaned up and fully ready to ride. I have to admit that I have tried to flip cars with a few issues when purchased, but I have never had the type of success you guys have had. Bravo! Keep up the awesome content! Looking forward to more on this car.

  6. I’ve got a 2007 987 Boxster S. The psm code needs to be cleared any time the battery is disconnected. Just drive it about 50 metres and move the steering wheel back and forth. Great cars. By the way that isn’t a standard exhaust. Sounds better than mine.
