PORSCHE 911 996 (1997-04) CARRERA 4 2DR CABRIOLET 3.4
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The PORSCHE 911 996 (1997-04) CARRERA 4 2DR CABRIOLET 3.4 is an open-top sports car in the UK’s premium used market, not a family hatchback or SUV. Its folding roof and four-wheel drive blend fresh-air motoring with added confidence in changeable weather.
mycarcheck.com checks recorded 179 look-ups across 58 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot but not the whole market. They show an average private-sale valuation of £13,500 and average recorded mileage of 99,000 miles. Average annual mileage is just 1,000, suggesting light use; cars had almost six previous keepers on average.
Best suited to enthusiasts and couples wanting a weekend car, it is less practical for family duties or low-cost commuting. Against open-top rivals such as the BMW Z3 and Mercedes-Benz SLK, the 911 is known for its unmistakable shape, engaging drive and everyday usability. Four-wheel drive adds reassurance; careful checks of condition and history matter on an older sports car.
A Porsche 911 996 Carrera 4 can hide outstanding finance, write-off damage, theft or mileage problems. Enter the reg now—skipping a check could leave you with a costly surprise.
