Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4S Value & Price Guide

In our last 12 months of 43 U.S.-dollar auction sales, the median sold price for a Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4S was $40,250, with the middle half between $31,600 and $51,300 and sales from $22,250 to $92,500. Condition, mileage, model year and options move any one car; this is a market snapshot, not an appraisal.

The Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4S median of $40,250 compares with $36,000 for all Porsche 996 sales in our sample window. Among 996 trims with their own page, the Turbo has the highest median ($81,000) and the Carrera 4 the lowest ($27,748).

In our sample, 2002 cars had the lowest median ($34,125, 8 sales) and 2005 cars the highest ($54,250, 3 sales), counting model years with at least 3 sales. Lower prices often reflect higher mileage or condition, so compare individual sales.

Of 21 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 44,000 miles had a $51,996 median and cars above it $44,375. Mileage often travels with age, so it isn't the only factor behind that difference.

In our sample, the median USD sold price over the last 3 months was $44,996 (from 13 sales), higher than the $43,250 median of the 3 months before that (12 sales), a +4% change. There aren't enough recent sales for a separate signal; see the Porsche 996 page for its market signal. Treat this as a rough guide, not a forecast.

Trim is read from the auction listing title. Race and cup cars, projects, tributes, replicas, conversions and modified cars are left out of trim pages (they still count on the Porsche 996 page), and special editions are not lumped in with the regular Carrera 4S. Sold-price data from Old Cars Data auction records. Only sold results are included.
