Carrera
2005–2012
The base 997. 3.6 liters in the 997.1, direct injection and 3.6 in the 997.2. The entry point to the generation, and the one where condition swings the price most.

997 Model Guide
Every 997 model gets its own page and its own numbers, from the same 352 collected and verified sales behind the calculator. No shared averages across models that don't share a market.
Carrera S
2005–2012
The 3.8-liter car. Bore scoring is the conversation on the 997.1; the 997.2's direct-injected engine dropped that worry and added PDK.
$54,750 median · 86 sales
Carrera 4
2005–2012
All-wheel drive base car. Same engines as the Carrera, wider rear track, usually bought for weather rather than speed.
$37,000 median · 9 sales
Carrera 4S
2005–2012
The 3.8 with all-wheel drive and the wide body. The spec a lot of buyers land on after shopping Carrera S cars.
$60,500 median · 43 sales
Targa 4
2007–2012
The sliding-glass-roof car on the all-wheel-drive platform. Counted as a coupe in the data; the roof mechanism is the thing to test on a PPI.
$56,748 median · 2 sales
Targa 4S
2007–2012
The wide-body Targa. Rarer than the coupe 4S, and the sales record is thin enough that I say so where it matters.
$68,002 median · 10 sales
Turbo
2007–2013
Mezger engine, 480 hp in the 997.1 and 500 in the 997.2. No IMS question on these; coolant pipes are the maintenance conversation instead.
$125,000 median · 49 sales
Turbo S
2011–2013
997.2 only, PDK only, 530 hp, PCCB standard. The fast one, and priced like it.
$117,500 median · 12 sales
GT3
2007–2011
9,000-rpm Mezger, manual only, rear-wheel drive. The 997.2's 3.8 is the one collectors chase; the RS premium is real in this data.
$231,000 median · 8 sales
GT3 RS
2007–2011
Lighter, wider, rarer than the GT3. The 4.0-liter 2011 cars sit at the top of the 997 market.
$587,833 median · 2 sales
GT2
2008–2009
997.1-generation turbocharged rear-drive car, manual only, 530 hp. The widowmaker nickname came free with the spec.
$500,504 median · 2 sales
GT2 RS
2011
620 hp, 2011 only, built in small numbers. The most expensive 997 in the dataset by a wide margin.
$1,100,000 median · 1 sales
Carrera GTS
2011–2012
The run-out special: 408 hp, wide body, rear-wheel drive, offered as a coupe and a cabriolet at the end of the 997.2 run.
$108,500 median · 8 sales
Carrera 4 GTS
2011–2012
The all-wheel-drive GTS. Same 408 hp wide-body formula with the 4's drivetrain.
$86,100 median · 2 sales
