The 996 marked the first major evolution of the 911 in decades, introducing water cooling and an entirely new platform. Once criticized for that shift, the generation has increasingly been recognized for its compact size, hydraulic steering, and directness relative to later 911s. Market values have followed. Over the last several years, clean manual Carrera coupes have moved steadily upward, particularly low-mileage examples in straightforward specifications.

Compared to today’s values for comparable 993 and 997 manual coupes, the 996 continues to occupy a favorable position in the market. It delivers much of the same analog character and usability while remaining materially less expensive to enter.

This example is finished in Black over Black Standard Leather with a 6-speed manual transmission and shows 32,326 miles. Factory equipment includes 18-inch Carrera wheels, Porsche Stability Management, heated seats, Hi-Fi Sound Package, and rear wiper. The overall specification remains simple and driver-focused, without unnecessary deviation from the original Carrera formula.
