The base Porsche 911 Carrera gives you the same shell and chassis as the S without paying for the extra power, which makes it the sensible way into flat-six 911 ownership.
What to check on a used Porsche 911 Carrera
Every Carrera we list carries a CarSwitch inspection report so you can weigh its history against the price, not just the year.
The line spans the 997 (2004 to 2012), the 991 (2012 to 2019) and the current 992 (2019 onward). Anything from the 991.2 update in 2016 onward switched to a turbocharged flat-six, which is the version worth prioritising over an early 991.1 if bore-scoring history cannot be confirmed.
Yes, comfortably — around 52% after five years, ahead of the 46% expected for sports coupes of similar age and mileage in the Kingdom, and just under the 55% Porsche manages across its full range.
Cars we inspect in the Kingdom run a median of around 29,000 km, which tells you these are mostly weekend and second cars rather than daily drivers, so tyre age and battery condition from long standing time matter as much as the odometer.
Stepping up to the Carrera S buys more power from an identical shell, worth it only if you will use the extra output. The BMW M2 is dearer for a smaller, four-cylinder-adjacent car, while the Mercedes E250 costs less but posts tyre problems at 15% against the 4% we would expect for cars of this class and age. The BMW M235 holds 58%, ahead of the Carrera on that measure alone, but is a different class of car entirely.
