Why: the median moved less than 8%.
Mix-adjusted median +5% vs the prior 3 months on 67 recent and 45 earlier USD online-auction sales (80% range -6% to +15%). Adjusted for trim and model year so a run of pricier cars doesn't look like a rising market.
Raw median $30,750 in the last 3 months vs $30,000 before (+2%).
12-month trend: +8% per year (mix-adjusted, 183 sales).

Buyer tips
On non-Turbo/GT3 996s, ask whether the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing has been upgraded and check for rear main seal leaks and bore scoring. Turbo and GT3 models use the Mezger engine and are valued very differently. Budget for a specialist inspection with a borescope.
In our last 12 months of 190 U.S.-dollar auction sales, the median sold price for a Porsche 996.1 was $28,888, with the middle half between $22,500 and $35,200 and sales from $4,600 to $56,750. Condition, mileage and options move any one car; this is a market snapshot, not an appraisal.
