The Porsche Carrera 911 997 is often quoted as the last mechanically 911 thanks to its mechanical steering. Especially the 997.2 seems to be desired as it comes with a revised engine and PDK transmission. Given the above, and the current trend in use car prices, it is no surprise that 911 prices increased. But are there any differences between the models? Did the Carrera S, for example, increase more than the base model? That and more is what you will find out in this video.

We start with a high level overview of the market so that we know how the market looks. After that, I will show you how much the Carrera s, base, and gts went up in value last year.
