Snapshot window: last 12 months. 226 sold cars (172 in USD), model years 2002–2005, sold Nov 2, 2025 to Nov 1, 2026. Non-USD sales are listed below in their original currency and left out of USD statistics.
The trim pages above use stricter title rules (they leave out race, modified and custom cars, and need the exact trim name), so their sale counts can be lower than in this table.
Trim is read from the listing title. Only trims with at least 5 USD sales in the snapshot window are shown. The overall median depends heavily on which trims sold recently.

Why: the median moved less than 8%.
Mix-adjusted median -5% vs the prior 3 months on 47 recent and 47 earlier USD online-auction sales (80% range -15% to +12%). Adjusted for trim and model year so a run of pricier cars doesn't look like a rising market.
Raw median $36,250 in the last 3 months vs $35,000 before (+4%).
12-month trend: +19% per year (mix-adjusted, 165 sales).
Red: monthly median USD sold price at online auctions in our sample (months with 3+ sales; bigger dot = more sales). Dashed line: 12-month mix-adjusted trend. Shaded: the two 3-month windows compared.

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 172 U.S.-dollar auction sales, the median sold price for a Porsche 996.2 was $32,750, with the middle half between $26,000 and $43,600 and sales from $13,000 to $130,000. Condition, mileage and options move any one car; this is a market snapshot, not an appraisal.

We count U.S. model years 2002–2005 as the Porsche 996.2. Turbo, Turbo S, GT2 and GT3 cars are left out of the 996.1/996.2 split and stay on the 996 and trim pages. Sales with no model year are not assigned to a sub-generation but still count on the main model page.
How does the Porsche 996.2 compare with other 996 generations?
