April 2026 Porsche Market Update
April 2026 Porsche Market Update
April produced a wide Porsche market spread: seven-figure 964 restomods, allocation-era 992 specials, a Riviera Blue 918 Spyder Weissach, and still-accessible Boxster, Cayman, 914, and 996 buys.
356 (1948-1965)
Open 356s remain the emotional money cars, but coupe values still offered a more approachable path into genuine 356 ownership.
High Price: $491,000 — 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
Red over tan with a 1,600cc flat-four, 4-speed manual, chrome wheels, and classic Speedster weather equipment; this was the headline 356 sale of the month.
Bargain Price: $40,250 — 1960 Porsche 356B Coupe
A driver-grade 356B coupe wearing ivory paint over tan upholstery with a 1.6-liter flat-four and 4-speed manual, making it an approachable entry point versus open 356s.
F-Model / Longhood 911 (1964-1973)
Modified longhoods remained strong when the execution was credible, while Targas continued to offer a lower-cost early-911 experience.
High Price: $170,000 — 3.6L-Powered 1972 Porsche 911T Coupe 5-Speed
A longhood hot rod with 3.6-liter power, five-speed manual, and outlaw appeal; the premium reflected performance and presentation rather than pure originality.
Bargain Price: $63,333 — 1971 Porsche 911T Targa 5-Speed
A classic longhood Targa with five-speed manual and usable driver presentation, giving buyers open-air early-911 character below coupe and S-model pricing.
914 (1970-1976)
The 914-6 premium stayed intact, while four-cylinder cars continued to reward buyers who prioritize originality and usability over headline speed.
High Price: $80,000 — 1971 Porsche 914-6
An original six-cylinder 914 with a 2.0-liter flat-six and five-speed manual, Fuchs-style wheels, and period-correct details that keep 914-6 premiums intact.
Bargain Price: $9,100 — 42-Years-Owned 1973 Porsche 914
Long-term family ownership, orange paint, a 1.7-liter flat-four, and five-speed manual helped make this one of April’s most accessible air-cooled Porsche buys.
G-Model / Impact Bumper 911 (1974-1989)
Turbo bodywork and forced induction commanded the premium, but late G50 Carreras still provided the most rational entry point.
High Price: $231,000 — 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet
A 930 Turbo Cabriolet with wide-body stance, four-speed gearbox, and open-top rarity, leading the impact-bumper group for April.
Bargain Price: $42,750 — 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet G50
A late G-body Cabriolet with the desirable G50 gearbox; its sale price made it the standout value within April’s impact-bumper 911 results.
924 (1976-1988)
The 924 market showed how provenance can matter more than displacement, with a factory-backed SCCA car and a one-off Porsche GB restoration framing the range.
High Price: $42,000 — 1980 Porsche 924 SCCA D-Production
One of 16 factory Porsche Type 933 SCCA D-Production cars; Weissach-engineered for U.S. dealership teams; lightened body with fiberglass fender flares, BBS multi-piece race wheels, welded roll cage, 935 lollipop race seat, and Bosch/Kugelfischer-injected 2.0-liter race-spec engine; white/red livery.

928 (1978-1995)
Late GTS cars kept pulling away from early 928 drivers, but manual early cars still looked compelling for buyers who want the original V8 Porsche thesis.
High Price: $125,318 est. — RoW 1992 Porsche 928 GTS
A European-market GTS with the 5.4-liter V8, wide rear track, and late 928 specification; sold in euros and topped the April front-engine V8 results.
Bargain Price: $15,500 — 1978 Porsche 928 5-Speed
Early manual 928 with pop-up-headlight purity, a five-speed gearbox, and first-year styling that traded far below later GTS money.
944 (1982-1991)
944 Turbo values were compressed this month, showing that condition and mileage can matter as much as year-to-year specification.
High Price: $44,951 — 32k-Mile 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo
Low-mile 951 coupe with forced-induction four-cylinder performance, period aero, and enthusiast-spec preservation.
Bargain Price: $32,944 — 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo
A usable 951 Turbo with the core hardware buyers want, sold at a level that still looks rational for transaxle shoppers.
964 (1989-1994)
Singer gravity dominated the 964 section, yet standard Cabriolets showed the generation still has attainable corners.
High Price: $1,800,000 — 1991 Porsche 911 Classic Turbo by Singer
A Singer-reimagined 964 Turbo, sold as the month’s clear 964 outlier and a reminder that restomod craftsmanship now sits in collector-car territory.
Bargain Price: $63,000 — 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet 5-Speed
A 964 C4 Cabriolet with five-speed manual and open-air usability, sold well below special-build and low-mile coupe money.
993 (1994-1998)
Special commissions and Turbos carried the ceiling, but open Carrera cars remained the approachable end of the final air-cooled chapter.
High Price: $652,000 — 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe by Kaege Retro
A Kaege Retro commission based on the 993 platform, blending backdated styling with modernized mechanical presentation and commanding the section high.
Bargain Price: $55,000 — 29-Years-Family-Owned 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet 6-Speed
A family-owned 993 Cabriolet with six-speed manual; the result showed buyers could still enter the last air-cooled generation at a rational level.
Boxster
Pre-718 Boxsters were led by lightweight Spyder enthusiasm, but early 986 cars still represented inexpensive mid-engine Porsche fun.
High Price: $117,000 — 16k-Mile 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder 6-Speed
A 987 Boxster Spyder with manual gearbox, lightweight roof concept, and low mileage; the car led the pre-718 Boxster group.

An early 986 five-speed Boxster that kept mid-engine Porsche ownership accessible at a four-figure sale price.
996 (1997-2005)
The spread between a delivery-mile Turbo S and a standard Carrera showed the 996 market now contains both blue-chip scarcity and true entry-level Porsche buying.
High Price: $409,996 — 222-Mile 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe 6-Speed
Delivery-mileage Turbo S coupe with six-speed manual, all-wheel drive, and final-year 996 Turbo S specification.
Bargain Price: $16,750 — 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe
A basic 996 Carrera coupe bought at a level that keeps the water-cooled entry thesis alive, even as exceptional Turbo S examples run far ahead.
997 (2004-2013)
Manual 997 Turbos continued to command respect, while modified track cars required the right buyer even when the hardware was serious.
High Price: $238,000 — 26k-Mile 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe 6-Speed
Low-mile 997.2 Turbo coupe with a six-speed manual, all-wheel drive, and the Mezger-era halo factor that continues to separate manual Turbos from the pack.
Bargain Price: $37,997 — DeMan-Built 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe Track Car 6-Speed
A track-focused Carrera S build with DeMan provenance and six-speed involvement; the price reflected a specialized use case rather than broad collector demand.
Cayman
The Cayman R remained the analog darling, while early Cayman S examples offered a remarkably affordable entry into a balanced Porsche coupe.
High Price: $68,000 — 2012 Porsche Cayman R
A 987 Cayman R with enthusiast specification, lighter weight, and analog appeal that kept it atop the pre-718 Cayman results.
Bargain Price: $15,500 — 2006 Porsche Cayman S 6-Speed
A first-year Cayman S with six-speed manual, sold low enough to remain one of the month’s best mid-engine performance values.
991 (2011-2019)
The 991 market split sharply between collectible Speedsters and usable Carrera S coupes, reinforcing the importance of mileage, color, and special-model status.
High Price: $529,000 — 88-Mile Forest Green Metallic 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster
An almost delivery-mile 991 Speedster in Forest Green Metallic, combining GT3-derived hardware, manual gearbox, and limited-production theater.
Bargain Price: $71,491 — 42k-Mile 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe
A 991.1 Carrera S coupe with mileage and usability that made it the value play against special-model premiums.
718
The 718 range rewarded flat-six and Spyder specification, but manual base Caymans continued to offer modern usability at approachable money.
High Price: $127,000 — 6k-Mile 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder 6-Speed
Low-mile 718 Spyder with naturally aspirated flat-six power, manual gearbox, and GT-car theater in an open mid-engine package.
Bargain Price: $44,500 — 28k-Mile 2018 Porsche 718 Cayman 6-Speed
A manual 718 Cayman with manageable mileage and an accessible price, serving as the rational end of the modern mid-engine market.
992
Allocation-era halo models still ruled the 992 market, while standard Carrera S Cabriolets began to look like the relative value play.
High Price: $625,000 — 114-Mile 2024 Porsche 911 S/T Heritage Design
A nearly new 992 S/T with Heritage Design specification, manual gearbox, lightweight ethos, and immediate collector demand.
Bargain Price: $68,500 — 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet
A 992 Carrera S Cabriolet bought at the bottom of the April 992 set, underscoring how quickly standard open cars diverge from allocation-driven specials.
Specials
The standalone halo market was all about rarity, color, and engineering theater, with the 918 and Carrera GT both proving that analog and hybrid legends can coexist at the top.
High Price: $4,680,000 — 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package
Limitation number 048; singular Paint to Sample Riviera Blue North American Weissach car; Black interior with Silver piping; 1,267 miles at cataloging.
