These guys were on a mission to buy a car every day – so they snapped up a broken Porsche 944 and fixed it for two cents.

They paid just $1,633 at auction for the steal but needed to give it some TLC.

After opening up the hood and turning the key they found a slight issue.

But, with common sense and prior Porsche knowledge, it was up, running, and purring in no time.

Everybody loves a Porsche, let’s be honest.

This guy even bought a one-way ticket to Detroit to buy the cheapest Porsche Taycan in the country.

But, like any auto, sometimes things can go wrong, and it’ll need a bit of TLC to fix it.

Some savvy car lovers find a way around this, though, and find a fix for next to nothing.

Take this man, for example, who actually managed to fix his ‘mechanically totalled Porsche‘ with a product that cost him just $200 from Amazon.

Now enter these guys who snapped up a Porsche at auction and managed to get it running without splashing the big bucks.

They bought a broken Porsche 944 made in 1984

In line with their mission to buy a car every day, the guys at JRGarage snapped this beauty up for just $1,633.

Not bad really when you consider that a Porsche in full working order would cost way more.

What did they do to fix the broken car?

Well first, they cleaned it up a bit to make sure it was clean and shiny, and looked the part as well.

Then, the guys inspected the engine and found it to be surprisingly clean.

Although there was one issue – the fuel pump wasn’t a happy bunny.

So after racking their brains they decided to jump it to start it up.

Just as they attempted to jump it, one of the guys joked that a couple of cents worth of power ‘could fix the car’.

And, once they got down to business – it started, costing them not very much at all.

The guys were overjoyed at their discovery, saying that the Porsche ‘actually sounds okay’.

Once it was on and revving they were able to get behind the wheel but there was a general feeling that the car wasn’t ‘happy, but it’s running’.

There was still plenty to fix before the Porsche in perfect working condition

But, once they’d added in a few new parts, the 944 was fixed up, and, well, good to go.

A cheap snap-up became an even cheaper quick fix – in the end it cost less than a couple of cents.

The perfect scenario in our opinion.

Watch all the action unfold below – it’s juicy.
