The least expensive generation to buy is the 996 at a $36,000 median, and the most expensive is the 992 at $240,000.

Within each generation, trim matters as much as age: GT3, Turbo and RS cars can sell for several times a base Carrera. Open a generation for its full price snapshot, value by trim, market signal and every recent sale.
