This man bought a dirty Porsche Boxster for $2,400 but found out the car was in pristine condition after getting it cleaned.
The car was actually a non-running vehicle with unknown mileage that he bought from a salvage auction.
Fortunately, nobody wanted to bid on the car since there were quite a few red flags.
But one man thought otherwise and bought the car for $2,400.

Buying a dirty Porsche Boxster
Jeffrey Turner from JR Garage bought a non-running $2,400 Porsche Boxster in late 2022.
Luckily, it only took him 20 minutes to get the car running DIY-style for the first time in years.
This is not the first time that these guys have done something like this.
In the past, they also bought a burned McLaren 620S Spider only to find out it was in a relatively good condition.
Quite similarly, the guys struck gold yet again with this dirty Porsche Boxster.
Although it looked like a junk car, once it was cleaned up properly, the dirty Porsche instantly looked like a brand-new car.
Cleaning the car
They took the dirty Porsche Boxster back to the garage for a complete cleanup.
The first thing they did was open the engine bay and clean it properly.
Fortunately, they also noticed a few chewed-out wires and mouse droppings that indicated the car had been home to some rodents.
It seemed that they chewed through the temperature sensor, which was the reason the Porsche was making a weird noise.
But the real surprise came after the Porsche had been completely cleaned from the outside too.
It totally looked like a brand-new car and nobody could’ve imagined that it came straight from a junkyard salvage auction.
