That was nice of you to do that for a viewer, and thanks for posting for the rest of us. And nice of that rooster for chiming in, though I'm not sure I agree with his thoughts on that Panamera's brake calipers. I think silver or black would class it up a bit..
Everyone needs to own one black car. Learning how to detail it is easy with all the practice. Love my car but never planning to another one. I truly enjoy seeing a freshly detailed black car
1 stone even managed to chip away a bit of the headlight on my Cayenne a couple of weeks back. Never had such problem with other cars in my life (or I was just super lucky / unlucky).
Yep, another one! And about Porsche. Watching it right now. Thx Nick. 😎 After viewing the vid: would never buy black . You see everything on it. Otherwise a great specimen. Love the steering wheel. Hood needs works though, and protective film afterwards.
I can concur from personal experience. I have a black Macan and the swirl marks and dirt on the tailgate detracts from an otherwise great car. Pretty much any other color would be better I think.
That is a perfect stealth machine. Having Nick in the video for a few seconds would be good, but Anna in the entire video would have been the best used car walk around of all time.
Thanks Nick for overview. Gearstick looks a bit loose though would check that out. That would really annoy me, given past experience of ending up with 997 gen 1 stick in my hand having completely come off!!
Great example of why it is silly to spend that kind of cash on a car and not do paint protection film. Personally I wouldn't buy this car, paint is swirled and shows signs of poor care and those chips and that front plate would drive me nuts.
I'd have the hood resprayed as part of the deal, and then would send the car to a good detailer to fix the flaws in the paint, then have it ceramic coated. After that, I'd put some film on the front bits over the ceramic. The ceramic should help keep the black looking great long after the detail. I had a large black Mercedes and it took me 3 days to get it fully detailed by myself - something I"m not keen to do again!
After market paint and clear coat isn't the same as the factory ones, they are much softer. They may have slightly different color in professional's eyes as well.
Well, what matters is the buyer's eyes and eventually, the next buyer's eyes. Swirls and chips would drive me nuts (hence the steps above), but the main point of the car is the drive...
It's black, so it's going to have paint issues. Worrying about swirls and dirt on a black car is going to have you working on the paint 85% of the time while only 15% of the time you're actually enjoying it.
Here in the UK every OPC has a few "best customers" who buy at least 1 to 2 brand new cars from them every year. I bought mine with 12k miles on the clock and the previous owner clearly didn't give a toss about "clear bra". It's still astonishing to me how much money these people have. But on second thoughts, the profiits they baged on their GT3 and GT4 almost certainly more than made up for the depreciation on their other cars. Let alone if they were lucky enough to get a 911 R or 918 at MSRP....
But I don't want a clear bra, it looks shite as it ages. If I wanted this car, I would buy it as it is, give it a polish and spend 10 bucks on original Porsche paint at the dealership. Porsche paint is super soft, dunno why though, the industry can make paint that is easily three times harder for over 20 years now. Just wondering what the roads are like where this car had been driven. I have almost 20K on a Boxster and only had to fix 2 chips in the hood and one next to the head light. OK, maybe I would want a bra anyway if it was as bad as for this car...
That many rock chips on the hood--and the windscreen was ok? With some of the touch-up kits available there really is no excuse for letting it get that bad. And black is really an easy color to touch up. Makes you wonder how he took care of the car mechanically.
The bonnet needs a new coating or a very good smart repair expert. This should be done by the Porsche dealer, as they can get the get the factory sun-resistant Porsche coat fom BASF. With a third party coat, the bonnet will become a other color in the next years as the age diffrently..
Hey Nick, great vid once again. would you wanna do a review and drive experience for a panamera sport turismo please? From a luxury car point of view, not sports car point of view. Would really appreciate it
IMO, I'd rather pony up the difference and buy NEW. Id bet that like most 911's, it was "rode hard and put away wet". Buy new; why would you want someones 911 that they thrashed and dumped back off at the dealer....If you cant afford new, wait until you can and buy something in your true budget.
do you have any experience with opticoat or any similar coating protectors? I have a black macan and it's super hard to keep clean. Not sure if opticoat is the way to go.
On a car with this paint condition, would you push for less than asking price? If so, how much would you expect to lower it? I've been eyeing one somehwhat local to you in Wallingford for weeks, any chance you want to come help me get a good deal? :)
Any of you wanting to move forward with that long distance relationship? Nick will go over and do a walk-around and a video of her! Money well spent! Also, test drive her for an extra fee.
LOL... good one! But it sure is missing from your list. Maybe borrow your Russian's friend 997 for a review. You've done the 996, 991.1, 991.2, Cayman... 997 missing! ;)
I'd walk away from that car, lots of holograms on the left front quarter, too many rock chips. They left it dirty for a reason to hide the defects. That car was rode hard and put away wet if you ask me.
Who in their right mind would spend near $100k on a 911 and not wrap the front end, at a minimum? I'm not a fan of black cars anymore, but I'd consider making a low-ball offer, given the obviously poor care the car has received.
That was nice of you to do that for a viewer, and thanks for posting for the rest of us.
And nice of that rooster for chiming in, though I'm not sure I agree with his thoughts on that Panamera's brake calipers. I think silver or black would class it up a bit..
I'm so happy people buy manuals in these. Makes me happy people still like to drive. Gorgeous cars
Looks great! That said, I avoid black cars since they show every dirty mark, especially with all the damn dust floating around here in AZ
Eric Ortiz yep, barely get one day after washing it before looks dirty again. so annoying
Everyone needs to own one black car. Learning how to detail it is easy with all the practice. Love my car but never planning to another one. I truly enjoy seeing a freshly detailed black car
You’re such a giver Nick, the things you do for your viewers!
nick you my sir are a hero to do that for a viewer😊
Eight stone chips on the bonnet, that's bloody crazy. The paint finish should be stronger!
1 stone even managed to chip away a bit of the headlight on my Cayenne a couple of weeks back. Never had such problem with other cars in my life (or I was just super lucky / unlucky).
Because the car is so low it picks up everything. Corvettes are the only other cars that get it worse.
2:32 - 2:36 ... Glitch in the matrix ... LOL
AmishNinjaMaster black cat?!
I swear you post on every video I go on ! LOL
Just saying I don’t know if it’s your accent or your thing for Porsche but your my favourite TH-camr
spoken like a BMW owner
Oh thanks!
Chaplin Gean proud M140 owner 😂

What, did the guy ride behind a gravel truck for 11000 miles?
Them rock chips though.
Oh this is a beauty 🖤However, you're missing in the video Nick 🖤x
That is a perfect stealth machine. Having Nick in the video for a few seconds would be good, but Anna in the entire video would have been the best used car walk around of all time.
MC M Amen to that.
☺️
How cool of you to look at it for a viewer!!
I have OCD. I could never handle the stone chips.
Thanks Nick for overview. Gearstick looks a bit loose though would check that out. That would really annoy me, given past experience of ending up with 997 gen 1 stick in my hand having completely come off!!
Aw damn, that looks really good. Nick, please buy it for me, I'll repay with fun times

100% agree. First thing I noticed was the swirling on that rear fender flare.
It's black, so it's going to have paint issues. Worrying about swirls and dirt on a black car is going to have you working on the paint 85% of the time while only 15% of the time you're actually enjoying it.
This engine and manual is the dream combo. Nick did it backwards. Got the pdk on the wrong car.
Rims look sick

Nicks pre-purchase vehicle inspections

Hey, Nick, I'd like to watch a video about your take on 911 sunroofs. Best regards
You’re good man for doing this. Where’s your sidekicks?
1:15 - LOL - Exactly what I thought I heard - rooster crowing! Is this place next to a farm or something?
Doctor color chip to the rescue!
But is it Tui approved?
Make that the Dull Edition.
IMO, I'd rather pony up the difference and buy NEW. Id bet that like most 911's, it was "rode hard and put away wet". Buy new; why would you want someones 911 that they thrashed and dumped back off at the dealer....If you cant afford new, wait until you can and buy something in your true budget.
What's with the roosters? You guys doing weird things with poultry again?

Nice car. It'll need paint correction. Lots of swirls.
Nick, REVIEW a 997! You've reviewed all Porsche 911, but NOT 997! Why?
AudiS4orce1 agreed 🙌 can’t afford the 991 😔
A 997 ran off with my GF and killed my goldfish.
LOL... good one! But it sure is missing from your list. Maybe borrow your Russian's friend 997 for a review. You've done the 996, 991.1, 991.2, Cayman... 997 missing! ;)
I'd love to see Nick in a Singer 911, if he can get hold of one!
omg looks so good!
I guess he knows what he is buying. 3.4 liters and max torque at 5600rpm...and manual. Almost like driving a S2000.
Which headlights are those?
Are the colour coded washer jets a Black Edition feature?
No way I’d buy that car with the stone chips. Check on repainting bumper and hood. You’d see those chips from a block away.
What’s a stone chup Bro?
can u do something for me a viewer? do a Fairfield county car show? *also I think I know the owner of that Porsche dealer just depends where
Got it in blacker?
So I guess a CPO car does not guarantee against chips in the paint then.
8 stone chips! too many for me. 7 is acceptable.
I'd walk away from that car, lots of holograms on the left front quarter, too many rock chips. They left it dirty for a reason to hide the defects. That car was rode hard and put away wet if you ask me.
Was that the service indicator showing when you started?
Didn't appear to be a service light. Electronic parking brake indicator and seat belt.
forumbilder.se/H6SAV/screenshot-20180514-232110
I can hear a rooster in the background
No full leather. Skip.
Don't look quite right for some reason????...I'd pass
I’d never buy a black car - too likely to pick up damage
Who in their right mind would spend near $100k on a 911 and not wrap the front end, at a minimum? I'm not a fan of black cars anymore, but I'd consider making a low-ball offer, given the obviously poor care the car has received.
Can white folks buy the black edition also or nah?
paint is fucked, halos and swirls absolutely not taken care of at all. This is a repo
WTF did I just watch and WTF did I watch it from beginning to end?
Nick, lets go back to the helicopters,every time this channel is looking more lie “Car and Driver “
Flying stuff in the works
