*Fair price range = middle 50% (25th–75th percentile) of USD sold prices in this sample. Condition, mileage, trim and options move any one car outside it.
Snapshot window: last 12 months. 615 sold cars (446 in USD), model years 2004–2012, sold Nov 3, 2025 to Nov 1, 2026. Non-USD sales are shown in their original currency and left out of USD statistics (we don't convert currencies).

Why: the median moved less than 8%.
Mix-adjusted median +5% vs the prior 3 months on 126 recent and 146 earlier USD online-auction sales (80% range -1% to +11%). Adjusted for trim and model year so a run of pricier cars doesn't look like a rising market.
Raw median $83,500 in the last 3 months vs $72,750 before (+15%).
12-month trend: +29% per year (mix-adjusted, 425 sales).
Sales volume (all auctions the data provider tracks for this model, Aug 2026 to Oct 2026): 126 sales vs 153 in the 3 months before (-18%). Context only; volume doesn't set the rating.
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.
Based on a sample of public auction results for the Porsche 997, not all sales. A rough read of recent price direction, not financial or investment advice and not an appraisal. How the market signal works.

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.
