My Worst Financial Mistake buying a Panamera from Copart!

- Every car I get for myself is always from Copart. I got no problem with them. However, this time I was careless a bit and ended up overpaying. This Panamera from Copart got repaired back to spec and became my worst financial mistake of my life. When you are looking for a car on Copart be careful not to make the same mistake I made! Thanks for watching and stay tuned for my 240sx build!

Worst mistake is the little microphone. Great job man enjoy it.
i like this guy,straight up humble guy!! admit his mistakes,and i love the fact he restored the car to standard!!!
Thank you and glad you liked the vid! Not here to flex just been a car guy ever since them diaper days
make it worth it! go on a trip,make a video!!
this is guy is real man! showing us real world mistakes,in a humble way!!! he like good car,not to flex but enjoy it! keep it real @4wheelfunbros
And then you have asshole trolls who like to scream "loser" at anyone who admits their financial mistakes. With that being said, I do think he should keep it a few years.
I feel you are a bit hard on your self , the car looks really nice and you should keep it for a while and enjoy it to justify the amount you paid .. there is nothing wrong with owning a salvaged vehicle if u do it right 👍🏻 .. i only wished it was a turbo but overall its a good purchase dont worry ..
Thank you for the kind words. However, I will not being enjoying it any longer as I just sold the Panamera! I drove it for a year and made plenty good memories, but now its time I go back on the market again for something with more power :)
4wheelfunBros agree with u completely, hope you didnt lose a lot.
4wheelfunBros how much did u sell it for?
Without turbo there still FAST and QUICK...
MERCEDESBENZS600 S500 no my buddy had also the non-Turbo panamera and it was rly Not so fast and had many issues with gearbox and so on..and the sound is even with straight pipe shitty
Sorry to hear this but you do have a cool ride. I've bought two from Copart here in SA and i totally get the frenzy purchase. I made a rule of having an excel spreedsheet and I have 4 to 5 vehicles on the sheet with my max bid in one column and next to it the total fees and next to that the total cost. My final column is what percentage of the total costs are fees. Not uncommon to get out bid on all of them but I then shut down the app after that to avoid the frenzy bidding/buying. Other thing i have is the time to bid on the cars. I'm finding the quicker the car comes up the better shot I have. Also thanks for your honesty.
If you don't learn from others mistakes, then you have to learn from your own and I just thought id be honest. Yup, thats exactly what happened unfortunately.
Thank you for being humble and honest.
Thank u for ur honesty u seem like a good dude.. u took an L.. but the hustle don’t stop.. keep that and keep upgrading Brodie!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 …… Don’t beat yourself up like that bro! that car looks like it’s in pristine shape and you did an awesome job of putting it back together. ✅ Drive it have fun in it and appreciate it, on the other side of the coin I wouldn’t sell it I would just keep it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️
34k is not a loss. there are million of students who borrow money to go to school over 60k, some graduate some don't.Some people have degrees that they don't use. Some have degrees that they have never worked in the school you went for. You have a nice car thats gonna last you 10 years and you will still be balling in the porche. enjoy the Panamera !

.....DOING YOUR PART TO CREATE HIGH PAYING JOBS ...THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THE WEALTH !!
Completely clean car never any issues, still has warranty, brake pads/rotors only got 9k miles on it, fresh oil change done, Upgraded Michelin pilot sport 4s tires on it that only have 5k miles on them, comes with window tint, taillight tint, side market tint, all the mats. Everything else is stock now, new air filters, looking for around 54k .. if you want a really fast car that can go well over 200 mph let me know. I'm in texas
what car you talking about??
obviously not a v6 panamera :D
Adolf Hitler Charger hellcat lol. See my post right below
When I see a car with front end damage that extends to the hood, then it's fairly safe to conclude the radiator is damaged.
At least you are honest! My friend has a panamera on lease. It’s a money pit to,say the least.
I am in the market for a 911s.
Yeah I doubt I’ll ever have another one again but a 911 I definitely wouldn’t mind!
@@golfandcats I do like the look of the new shape but it’s not a “true” Porsche in my view. Just like all these models like the Macan, cayenne, 718 cayman and boxster.
Porsche made these other models to gain some market shares in those markets I guess, but for me, although I have to say are for the large part amazing vehicles. I just could not own one. 911 whether it’s a 911, 911s, any of the GTS, GTRs and turbos are really true Porsches in my view. It just so happens that all the 911s hold their value extremely well, relatively speaking anyway. Aston Martin comes to mind. Dam, those things look massive but when you sit in the thing and drive it I have to,say it’s disappointing for me at Least. I sit in the 911 and although the car is quite compact it felt quite comfortable and extremely exhilarating to drive. I will be turning 50 in November. I am going down to Porsche on Thursday to put my order in. Apparently it takes 18 months to 2 years for a 911. I was told 6 months for a 718 cayman which could possibly interest me. The same for the 718 boxster too. There is no way I would drive a boxster though. That’s just me. Everyone is different!
I mean, who in their right minds buys a cayenne turbo. It’s laughable.😄
Respect sir. Most wouldn't be upfront about a situation like this. Your car looks damn good, enjoy it!
Made a couple vids about some problems I ran into with this Panamera and there I promised Id give yall the final price once I was finished. It may not have been the deal I wanted, but thought Id share anyways. Also, didnt think this video would blow up this much but since it did hopefully at least it helped a couple people out there. I enjoyed it for about a year but recently sold it! Thanks!
@@golfandcats what you sell for
Good honest vid dude.Dont beat yourself.You saw it thru which shows you have balls.The car is real nice so enjoy it.You learn from mistakes.
Clean bro. Sick ass whip. You learned my guy.
We all make mistakes body don't worry about it
Man you actually did good ive seen some real screw ups especially with the foreign cars . I had a savage title corvette that turned out great me personally I would enjoy the car it looks nice .
u went to school,school isn't cheap! Good luck young man and hang in there.
You will take another L for holding the microphone the whole video instead of clip it on your blouse !! Lol just joking...keep the car...it looks nice !!
haha Im surprised nobody said anything about it but yeah its a cheap mic cuz lost all my cash on this thing! jk but i do need to upgrade mic to a real brand!
Hahaha! "Blouse"..
4wheelfunBros The mic is ok !! You just need to click it on you shirt, instead of holding it. 😅👌🏼
Massey Forbusiness 🤫😂
sidehatch69 - Just kidding !! 😂
Looks good, service cost will always come with European cars. If you maintain it, that car will serve you well.
Thanks for you honesty!!
IF it runs well and you have no problems it may be worth it. I bought a Corvette at a big discount that had been hit in the front. The car continued to break
and cost me money. I'll never buy a car that has been hit in the front in
Awesome video man
Yeah paid a little too much but it’s a good car and looks good so it’s not too bad of a mistake. Have fun with it , enjoy it a while
Not a mistake brow , just learning....
916 Sacramento! Looks great! Land park florin baby!
It’s not an L trust me. It’s pretty good I bought a Nissan nv200 salvage for 3.500 and I repaired it with 4 now I have a new van so you have to play it out.
I bought a car for 900$ after few years i felt so bad i sold it for 600$
buying a car on a copart is too risky. For a $20k car after you add up ~$1500 copart/broker fees + ~$2000 dmv fees, + $ fixing it, it's not that much of a sweet deal anymore. I bought one myself and after all the expenses it was about $3000 less than the salvage market value. Great car but considering the time spent and risk i don't think i'll do it ever again.
If only I saw your video before winning mine! lol True, some cars (like this one) are not even worth all that hassle and I see this way more often nowadays compared to even a couple years back!
Don't see bug mistake. You can sell it for good money. Also rent on Turo for a while.
No, you can't find a (clean) v8 panamera for $34k...not sure what car lots he frequents, but that is at least an 8yo+ car w/high milage at that price.
Just from the damage, it seems to be 'not too bad'. But it depends on the price.
I think you did good. Just keep the car , not like it looks salvage.
Shit happens man, you live and learn.
Im ive bought and fixed so far around 7-8 Audi's im only down about 2-3K but I enjoy putting them back together, driving thee for a while.
This is the first time I ran into a car like this as all my other ones were good buys. Its all good though.. like you said I enjoy driving them and moving on to the next after a year or so
So I'm not sure what your plan is for the future. Are you going to sell it, keep it, rent it out on Turo? What's the next plan?
If thats your biggest financial mistake in life you’ll be lucky. Best of luck. Nice work tho👍
Thanks!
So if you buy a trashed car lets say a 2015 charger, is repairing it to a 100 going to be as expensive as buying a new one?
Nissan Maxima any year after 03 is a horrible financial mistake lol 😂
Take it to other state that will clean the title insurance companies do it all the time. Were you can get full price to sell it
Jamie Collins wants its a salvage title that’s it, you can’t make a salvage title a clean title ever, unless you send it over seas
no not true, you can wash the title . ill leave it at that
Once a salvage always a salvage. Im a dealer and its a waste to buy a salvaged car unless there is little wrong and you plan on keeping
It's not legal, but it happens all the time through title agency incompetence and a little effort and knowledge from the title owner who wants it to happen. One of the worst states known to do this is Pennsylvania.
Wrong...I used to be a dealer also...There are states where they can wash title. I got burned by this once. I didn't check Autocheck and when I did it showed previous salvage
it cost u $34,000 grand, dam contact me I could got one for u at manheim with o damage and a clean title
Conyer, what's your contact?
you got an email?
TOPELITEAUTO@GMAIL
I can get the same car at Manheim will no damage and a clean. Ontime518@gmail.com spend all that money on salvage, when theres car go for $34k to 40k clean
@@topeliteautosale7658 my brothers Panemera cost 28k down here in texas9dallas) ..its parked and he is in federal prison now smh
My sister used to work at copart. Company sucks inside and out. Their cars are trash and there’s one office in Texas and there lot always gets flooded when it rains a lot and they still sell the cars to suckers like that 😂
Dude, how do you not expect radiator damage when the front is pushed in? It sounds like everything that happened to you should have been expected...
Radiator was barely damaged actually. It’s hidden quite well on the Panamera and the front is very strong. But yeah, took my chances and this was my outcome.. easily preventable!
So....the lav mic clip must be broken???
Just subbed ..damn bro that sucks to take that L but at least the car is still nice lol. The girls would never know
If you are not a mechanic, do not buy a wreck car. Specially a BMW, AUDI, PORCH or any exotic car. The price of parts plus a reliable mechanic will make you homeless.
Bro that panamara looks great how is it bad
For that money you could have bought one with a clean title which would be worth more than this one when you come to sell it
Show us pictured of the car when you bought it..
No worries I've been there too you just choosed a very expensive car to fix lesson learned it happens know you now
Thank you for being honest
It is what it is. It's a nice car, drive it and have fun... Don't trust Copart, they make as much money as possible...
It is a sweet looking car
What are the numbers?? How much of a loss??
Did you pay $28k for the car & fix it for 6k? I'd buy & do the repairs if the car cost under 10k. Your mistake was not getting the numbers right. I was hoping to hear about the performance of the car & if u had any issues.
Thanks for sharing !
You’re acting like you couldn’t sell it and recoup most of your money. You could get 25-30K for that car if you find the right buyer. So your loss is maybe 5-10 thousand and not 34,000. If you have gotten some enjoyment out of it, then you really aren’t losing anything.
Win some , lose sum , the game is the game son
Where did you get the car detailed?
What do you expect its salvage title.. It's a fix it project
The repair looks good from the outset. An expensive lesson learned: “never buy a crashed vehicle”.
If you can't do alot of the repair work yourself stay away. The car was totaled for a reason and using 3rd Parties to fix things will cause the bills to quickly add up.
Put it on sale outside Usa .
You will make a profit on it.
Nigeria will love that car almost at 2 x it cost u
Sweet car. Dollars aside, its a beautiful ride!
What was the mileage and year at purchase?
I was looking on the same corp auction
Same car same clear
I honestly feel like $34K for that car even for salvage but all fixed is a good deal.
you can't be serious lol
Learn the fixing costs before you buy! otherwise buy a rear crashed cheap and wait until you find a front crash cheap and use the parts from one car to another! recently I spotted a 2013 Civic I dtec didn't bought it though because of the airbag cost which I couldn't find used
Saying YOLO in 2018. 😂
Niner vega what the heck does that yolo mean?? 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@SamHoustonNatForestLife you only live once, it was a popular phrase from Drake about 4 to 5 years ago.
You took an L now so you’ll learn from your mistake in the future. Car looks beautiful btw!
Gotta take one for the team sometimes lol and thanks!
At least you have great dress sense 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😅🤣🥲😭😢😭😭
34,000 total and you drive a Porsche Panamera salvage that you fix with your own money. You must be proud because I'm.
This is how a young man learns. It happens to everyone who takes chances. The future returns from wise decisions will wipe this loss out several times.
I lost a lot of money,learn from mistakes if I hadn't make those mistakes wouldn't be where I am today personal experience
You made a commitment to repair this valuable vehicle. You have intimate knowlege of this car and it is a keeper. No, you did not waste your funds, this learning experience is worth every dollar you spend on this rolling art. We all dream, you made it happen. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you sir! Just working hard and living a day at a time.
good job make more video with this car
Great video man! $34k is not the end of the world. A great lesson for all of us. Thanks for sharing. Now go buy your Dad a beer and share some laughs.
unless you don't have 34k
@@ImAChristianFirst he means we can live without 34k easily but not a show stopper so don t need to have one
I enjoyed your video and I appreciate your honesty. It takes a lot of guts to admit your mistakes. Lots of guys doing the Copart thing and they all try to make it look easy. Everyone wants to make videos of how much profit they make and how smart they are, but you rarely see videos of people being honest about the real costs of repairing a vehicle. On the bright side, you have a really nice car that's been fixed right and should last a long time. There's no shame in that. Good luck !
Im glad you enjoyed the video! At first I didnt want to make this video, but thought why not? Its a big thing that happened in my life so why not tell others and maybe help someone make the correct decision. It definitely is not easy and you have to be detail oriented to get that right car for a good price. Take care!
you didn’t lose by one bid. the other person could have bid for thousands more
Yeah his English is horrible
You apparently dont know how a copart auction works
ruststar full stop.
Yeah it was funny when I heard him say that. He would of been out bid by more still.
Agreed. If you are bidding against just one other person and you end up losing it will always appear as though you lost by just 1 bid. He’s looking at it wrong.
For a salvage vehicle it looks damn good 👍
Mcgyver B agree
Agreed
Salvage Title vehicles don't hold value with insurance companies you need every receipt for a salvage vehicle. He been better off buying the clear title at least he could take it to a dealership for a trade in.
G NEWS I agree with your sayings, but the stralership will rape him harder than co part did, he should just keep it, and drive out his money’s worth, any other options than that, he will end taking more loses, at least he’s the owner of a nice model porch without a monthly car payment, nowadays the stealership organization are a mafia waiting to butcher any customer on sight, anyone buying 2018 models good luck after warranty run out, if you’re not a millionaire, you’re wallet is up for assassination.
They always do
Dude, you rock.! Awesome results. Money comes and goes, but the life experience is priceless.
You live and you learn man. Still a good car and a good video.
It is not a mistake if you learned from it, that is what I say. The result is a beautiful looking car, so that is something to remember.
my brother in law told me 45 years ago learn from others mistakes life is to short to create your own mistakes .
you still have a damn nice car there, dont feel bad about it,
The book might say salvage, but the car looks nothing like that. In actuality, that car looks brand new. I made same type of mistake. However, unlike you, the fixing was crappy and it still hurts till this day. I have an advice for you: enjoy your car until the tires literally fall off. Don't sell it; I believe you'd regret it in the end if you did away with it. Don't let a buyer enjoy the fruits of your labor. Beautiful, beautiful car you've got there bro!
^solid advice right here.
Amen to that!
Great advice! Some don’t understand the logic of buying a salvage car!
Sounds like you are pretty damn sure that panamera will drive like toyota camry till 200k with some maintenance items. I bet people are only getting rid of used porsches because they have money and just want newer one???? Guys, used porsches out of warranties are a great deal!! SMH
Awyatt Mann not in all cases! I know some that are able to sell the cars overseas and even locally for more than what they paid because of how great the outcome of fixing the vehicle was. For the most part I’ll say it’s better to just buy it to keep it not try to sell it. You will enjoy the beauty of some cars for a much lower cost 🍉
If that is the biggest mistake you ever make in life you're coming out a winner. I've lost more money than that before getting out of bed.
That sucks! Money is not the only thing in life that matters anyways, just gotta keep working hard!
I've bought cars, BUT I can say I've NEVER PLAYED THEM AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL THAT MEANS
Nice job repairing it ! Car looks great. You should be proud of the job you did. Drive and enjoy it.
This illustrates why high end , complicated cars of today will never be worth fixing. That is also why their values fall rapidly after 3-4 years-buyers know that a single problem can wind up costing thousand$$ to fix. Add to that the difficulty of working on them 9engine compartment packed to the max); i can see why no one wants them.
At the same time, imagine a salvaged high end older car. Now compare that to the same car with a clean title. Most likely all the warranties are out for that clean title car, so when you go out to buy it, why not go get that same car from an auction? You will save some cash say for those future repairs. I understand this is not for everybody though and also this project of mine was how not to do it lol All in all, I agree with you that these high end cars loose value and the only ones that hold or gain value are those rare older sport coupes.
We all Learn from our mistakes..
It’s a beautiful car you have right there men enjoy it 👍🏼
Thank you and cant agree more!
Not a mistake but a learning experience.You can always take something positive from it.
I would buy cars like these and just rent them out and drive them whenever.
Thanks for your brutal honesty. We appreciate that as a whole.

Update: Just picked up a 1997 BMW M3 Sedan for my new project!
Are you serious 34k I don't even think they sale for that much I just got a clean car fax panarama from Copart for 16k for shipping and fees it had a mechanical damage sorry what happened
moe bak yeah got it before the new model came out and you know how that story ends when you got the “older” one.. make some videos about it!
You probably learnt a lot from this and it tuned out to be a great looking car, man. So congratulations to you!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
It happens bro, same thing happened to me getting a copart car. Learn from the losses and grab another car. Great job
beautiful car I would keep it and enjoy it
Respect for sharing. I don’t think you made a huge mistake. You have a nice car, you enjoy driving it and that counts for something. You will learn from this and you won’t make the same mistake again. You did a great job fixing it so you should be proud!
Live n learn! Its all good, you still did a great job.
You should make copart rebuild videos. Would of loved watching this car being rebuilt..
Phillip Wright My bros 335 on our channel has more videos of process and my next car I get will definitely have more details of the rebuild!
k was he really surprised he had to replace radiator, condenser, dryer etc. i looked at pic n in 2 seconds i knew it had to be replaced! was he expecting a porsche to b a cheap fix? lmao
Hendawg lmao fr man
