Your details stay private. We call once, with a number, then it's your decision.

The 996 was the first water-cooled 911, built from 1997 to 2006, and it remains the most affordable entry into 911 ownership. We buy every 996 variant directly from private owners across Australia: Carrera, Carrera 4S, Turbo and GT3. You answer four quick questions, we call once with a firm offer based on recent 996 sales, and if you accept we inspect, pay and collect. The money is in your account before the car leaves your driveway.

What moves the price for a 911 996

Options and spec

Factory options and rare specs move the number more than anything else.

Service history

A complete, stamped history — ideally with a specialist — is worth real money.

Colour

Desirable colours sell faster and hold more; unloved ones cost you.

Kilometres

Lower is better, but consistent use beats a car that has sat for years.

Condition

Paint, interior wear, wheels and any accident history all feed into the figure.

Gearbox

Manual vs PDK or Tiptronic changes the buyer pool — and the offer.

Updated

What is my 996 worth right now?

More than it was five years ago. The 996 market has lifted as buyers have made peace with the headlights and the IMS story.

The Carrera 4S and the Turbo are the value leaders, and the Turbo and GT3 use the Mezger engine, which has no IMS bearing at all. Standard Carreras are priced on condition, history and whether the IMS bearing has been addressed.

Manual cars, low kilometres and complete service history all add value. You tell us about the car in 60 seconds, and we follow with a firm written offer within 2 business hours.

Will the IMS bearing hurt my 996 price?

It is priced in, not punished. We ask about it on every early 996 and 997.1 and price the answer openly.

Cars with documented IMS bearing work or later revised parts sell well. If yours has not been done, tell us up front and we price the car accordingly from the start rather than chipping the offer at inspection.

If you own a 996 Turbo or GT3, the question does not apply: those engines never had an IMS bearing.

Do you buy 996s with finance owing?

Yes. We settle the payout directly with your lender and pay you the difference.

You provide the payout figure, we pay the lender on settlement day and transfer the balance to you before the car is collected, anywhere in Australia.

FAQ

911 996 questions

How much is my 911 996 worth?

It depends on variant, condition, history and whether the IMS bearing has been addressed. You tell us about the car in 60 seconds, and we follow with a firm written offer within 2 business hours.

Does my 996 Turbo have the IMS bearing issue?

No. The 996 Turbo and GT3 use the Mezger engine, which never had an IMS bearing. The question only applies to standard Carrera models.

How fast can you settle and collect my 996?

The firm offer comes within 2 business hours. Once you accept, inspection, payment and collection usually happen within a few days, anywhere in Australia.
