The median sold price was $42,000, the middle half sold between $37,200 and $48,800, and results ran from $18,250 to $71,000.

By model year (years with at least 3 sales), 2006 cars had the lowest median at $38,998 (14 sales) and 2008 cars the highest at $50,125 (10 sales).
What drives value in this sample: manual cars had a $45,138 median (32 sales) against $34,997 for Tiptronic (automatic) cars (9); of the 19 sales with a known mileage, cars at or under 45,000 miles had a $48,886 median against $42,000 for higher-mileage cars. Trim and model year explain part of each gap, and condition, history and options matter most for any one car.
Trend: adjusted for trim and model year, prices over the last 12 months were broadly flat (+2% a year).

Buyer tips
997.1 (2005–2008) Carrera engines can suffer bore scoring and IMS issues; the 997.2 (2009–2012) DFI engines removed the IMS. Manual gearboxes, GTS and Turbo S models command premiums. Ask for a borescope report and a DME over-rev report on manual cars.
