The case for and against
Australia took an estimated 300 to 500 Carreras new and imports are the lowest proportion of any air-cooled car in this tranche at 20 to 30 per cent, so a documented local car is findable rather than mythical. Sorted documented manuals are firm while the rest of the market softens, which is a market sorting itself by quality rather than falling.
The gap between a $189,990 asking price on a Tiptronic coupe and a $77,000 Lloyds hammer tells you how split this market is, and neither Australian result is a manual coupe. Secondary air injection carbon is the signature 993 fault and clearing it properly means the heads off at $18,500.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
A 1996 Targa on the four-speed Tiptronic made $137,500 at Canterbury, Victoria, on 24 September: Ocean Blue, 125,326 kilometres, paint fully restored, dealer and specialist history to November 2025. Run through this record from the manual coupe at 45,000 kilometres, the curve takes the distance to $185,500, the respray row takes 8, and the manual row worked in reverse for a Tiptronic lands at $136,500, a thousand dollars under the hammer. The Targa roof is priced at nothing and the result says that is about right.

The car it describes, a manual coupe, has still not been published in Australia.
Shannons sold a 1996 Targa with the optional Tiptronic for $72,000 in an online auction running 20 May to 3 June 2020, Australian-delivered at 148,334km. Lloyds published $77,000 for what it called a 1994 911 Carrera Cabriolet in its February 2026 classic sale, recapped on 10 March 2026 as an Australian-delivered matching-numbers example.
993 Cabriolet production did not begin until mid-1995, so a 1994 993 Cabriolet cannot exist as described and the car is more likely a 964. It is recorded and deliberately not used, and it should never be quoted as a 993 Cabriolet benchmark.
Sorted documented manuals are firm; automatics and tired cars are soft. Both local results are automatic or the wrong body, and against them sits a $189,990 asking price on a 1995 Tiptronic coupe with 98,072km, itself reduced from $199,990. A hammer at $77,000 and an ask at $189,990 on one model is not a range, it is two markets.
It describes the manual coupe with Australian delivery and matching numbers, worth 15 to 25 per cent over a converted or imported car with VarioRam adding 8 to 12 on MY96-98, and nothing published in Australia describes that car. The trend is holding rather than climbing after the re-rate.

The evidence on this model is thin and the report says so on its cover. Read a complete one on a real car first. Seventeen sections, no account, nothing to pay.
One line of email when this desk publishes a call on a Porsche 911 Carrera, or records a new Australian sale of one. Nothing else, no schedule, and on a quiet model you may hear nothing for months, which is itself worth knowing about a car you are chasing.
