Best $40k Porsche and is Porsche the Next Ferrari?

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 30:38

Is the "Everyman’s Supercar" disappearing? This week on The ElevenAfterNine Podcast, Derek dives into Porsche’s recent financial shift toward a "Value over Volume" strategy. With operating profits seeing a massive shift and a new focus on ultra-exclusive halo cars, we discuss the "Vacuum Effect"—how rising new car prices are sucking up the values of the 997, 991, and 981 generations.

Later in the episode, Derek answers a high-stakes listener question: If you have $40,000, should you buy a high-mileage 997.1 911 or a modern 981 Boxster/Cayman? We break down the "Loyal Friend" vs. the "Idiosyncratic Icon," the reality of the maintenance myth, and the one "Don't Settle" rule every first-time buyer needs to hear.

The Do's and Don’ts of Buying Your First Porsche 997

Episode 2

Tuesday, March 31, 2026 • Duration 21:28

I just bought a 2005 Porsche 911 with 102,000 miles on it. And I'd do it again tomorrow.

In this episode I break down exactly what to look for — and what to run from — when buying a 997.1. IMS bearings, bore scoring, Carfax red flags, and why a set of cheap tires can tell you more about a previous owner than they ever would.

Whether you're actively shopping or just dreaming about it — this one's for you.

Bore Scoring Is A Myth? Blackstone Labs Porsche Data Revealed!

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 • Duration 51:10

Do you want the actual data from the expert that disputes everything you have heard about Bore Scoring? Every forum, Facebook group, and "expert" corner of the internet would have you believe that if you own a water-cooled 911, your engine is a ticking time bomb. I’ve spent countless nights losing sleep over this—so I went straight to the source for the real numbers.

In this episode of ElevenAfterNine, I’m joined by Joe Adams of Blackstone Labs. Joe isn’t guessing; he’s looking at a database of thousands of Porsche engine samples. We break down the actual failure rates for the 996, 997, and 991 generations, and the results are not what you’ve been told.

Never Pay For a Porsche Oil Change Again (The FCP Euro Loophole)

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 47:19

Is the "Lifetime Replacement Guarantee" at FCP Euro actually real, or is it too good to be true? Today, we’re joined by Joe Finkel, former Porsche Master Tech and current Porsche Product Manager at FCP Euro, to pull back the curtain on the ultimate European car ownership hack—including how to never pay for an oil change again—while diving into which specific Porsche models and years are actually the most reliable to own. Whether you’re a DIYer trying to save on the "Porsche Tax" or a 911 purist looking for the best-engineered parts, Joe breaks down the mechanics of the FCP program and shares his expert verdict on the 997.1 vs. 997.2 debate, the hidden issues with modern "plastic" engines, and the exact Panamera and Macan years that deserve a spot in your garage.

In this episode, we discuss:

The Oil Change Hack: How the Lifetime Replacement Guarantee (LRG) works for consumables.
BMW vs. Porsche Engineering: A Master Tech’s honest take on who builds a better machine.
The "Plastic" Problem: Why modern engines feel more "disposable."
Reliability Guide: Why Joe thinks the 997.1 Carrera S is the sweet spot of the 911 lineage.
Panameras & Macans: Identifying the common "Achilles heel" (like those aluminum timing cover bolts) and the specific years you should buy.

The Most Reliable Porsche You Aren’t Buying

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 • Duration 54:12

Is the Porsche community sleeping on the best daily driver ever made? In this episode of ElevenAfterNine, I’m joined by my "brother from another mother," Angelo Scuderi.

Angelo isn't just a Porsche enthusiast; he’s the Service Director at Porsche of Nashua and a Goldmeister Master Mechanic. He’s the guy I trust with my own cars, and today, he’s dropping some serious truth bombs that might make you rethink your next purchase.

In this episode, we dive into:

The "Zero-Failure" Engine: Why Angelo has never had to tear down a 4-cylinder 718 motor in all his years at the dealership.
The Daily Driver Myth: Why the 987.2 Cayman might be the best "bang-for-your-buck" Porsche on the planet.
930 Turbo vs. The World: I tell Angelo why his dream 1979 Turbo is a "beautiful piece of crap" (and he explains why I’m wrong).
Maintenance vs. Oil Changes: The critical distinction every owner needs to understand to save their engine.
The Death of the Manual: Why the manual transmission is disappearing and what it means for the secondary market.

Whether you're looking for your first Porsche or you're a seasoned Rennlist regular, this conversation is about the real-world usage of these machines—not just the spec sheets.

HELP SPREAD THE WORD I’m focused on creating the best content possible for the "regular" Porsche enthusiast, which means I don't have a ton of time for social media marketing! If you enjoyed this conversation, please:

Moving Up or Modding Out: The $10,000 Porsche Dilemma

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 • Duration 18:28

This week on ElevenAfterNine, we’re slowing things down to tackle one of the most debated topics in the Porsche community: "Do I upgrade my car or upgrade the Model?"

Today, we do the math on the $10,000 Dilemma: Should you save that extra cash to jump a trim level, or should you spend it on the "Touchpoints" and "Soundtracks" that actually create the "Fizz"?

Your Porsche Is Dying In The Garage (And You're Helping It)

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • Duration 20:34

We think we’re protecting our Porsches by keeping them tucked away, but we might actually be accelerating their demise. In this episode of ElevenAfterNine, I’m joined by Porsche Master Mechanic Joe Finkel from FCP Euro to debunk the myths of "garage queen" ownership.

From the "stasis" trap of battery maintainers to the hidden dangers of winter idling, we break down exactly why these cars need to be exercised—and how to do it without causing catastrophic engine damage.

In this episode, we cover:

The Battery Myth: Why "floating" your battery might be killing the plates.
The "B-Word": Does Bore Scoring actually affect the 997.2 and 991 generations?
Cold Start Danger: Why idling in your driveway is the worst thing you can do for your cylinder walls.
The 194° Rule: The specific temperature you MUST see before driving hard.
The "Secret Sauce": Joe’s specific oil and additive cocktail to keep bore scoring at bay.

The 987.1 Porsche Cayman Drives Like a 993 — For 1/5 the Price

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 01:01:21

In this episode of ElevenAfterNine, Derek sits down with Jeff Lehman, author of

"A Porsche Enthusiast's Guide to the 987.1 2.7 Boxster and Cayman" and the

guy people actually trust on first-generation base Boxsters and Caymans.

Jeff recently drove a 993, his own 987.1 Cayman, and a 997.1 back-to-back —

and his takeaway flips conventional wisdom on its head. We get into why the

base 2.7 motor is more fun than people give it credit for, why the IMS and

bore scoring panic on 2007-2008 cars is overblown, and why the .1 cars

might be the last honest value play left in the Porsche lineup.

If you've ever talked yourself out of a Boxster or Cayman because it wasn't

an S — this one's for you.

📖 Grab Jeff's book on Amazon (proceeds go to car-related charities):

A Porsche Enthusiast's Guide to the 987.1 2.7 Boxster and Cayman

GIVEAWAY: Drop a comment and STAR rating for the podcast and we'll pick one listener to receive

Nick Murray Is About To Upset Every GT3 Owner

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 • Duration 59:33

Nick Murray joins ElevenAfterNine for a conversation about what's actually worth owning in the Porsche lineup right now — and his answer just might ruffle some feathers in the GT3 community.

We get into the Lemon Law saga that put Nick on the map, why most first-time buyers over-spec their cars, the options that are a complete waste of money (PDCC, we're looking at you), and why Nick says he'd sell a free GT3 to buy something he'd actually drive. Plus: why the current Carrera T might be the most complete 911 Porsche makes, the truth about the understated horsepower numbers on the turbocharged cars, and a 993 cabriolet love letter that'll make you rethink the "coupes only" crowd.

This one's for people who drive their cars.
