The case for and against
It is the last naturally aspirated 911 Carrera, and the money has been flat to firming since 2022 and 2023 for that reason alone. The seven-speed manual is the collector variant and already carries $15,000 to $30,000 over an equivalent PDK.
This is a plentiful late-model used 911 still primarily on a depreciation curve from a $263,100 launch price, with an estimated 1,200 Australian deliveries behind it. Every published local number is an asking price or a dealer retail figure, the lowest being $134,990 for a 2012 car at 166,862km.

Similar cars, and what they cost to run
A 2011-built Carrera S on PDK, complied in 2012, made $155,500 at Torrens, Australian Capital Territory, on 24 September: Platinum Silver over black, 30,461 kilometres believed genuine, Australian-delivered, serviced by Porsche Centre Canberra in 2023, 2024 and 2025, with the sports exhaust. Carried on this record's curve from the 45,000 kilometres it expects to that car's 30,461, the value returns $155,100, four hundred dollars from the hammer.

And the value does not move for it. A 2015 base Carrera Black Edition on PDK at 82,578 kilometres made $126,969 at Elizabeth Bay three weeks earlier; it is the 3.4 rather than the S this record describes and is kept as context.
The 991.1 Carrera S is here because Australians trade it in volume - an estimated 1,200 delivered new from 2012 at $263,100 before on-roads, about 1,125 still here, roughly 135 changing hands a year, by far the most liquid car in this tranche - and a library with no point on that curve is missing an anchor. It is not offered as a collectable. The car is still primarily on a depreciation curve rather than an appreciation one, and the research explicitly grades it as one that should not carry a collector recommendation.
It is the last naturally aspirated 911 Carrera, and the money has gone flat to firming since 2022 and 2023 on that alone. The seven-speed manual is the variant that will move first, at $15,000 to $30,000 over an equivalent PDK.
The three published local numbers are a $174,888 ask on a 2014 Cabriolet at 39,422km, a $160,000 ask on a 2014 coupe at 103,161km, and an undated Lorbek retail figure of $134,990 on a 2012 car at 166,862km. Two asks and a dealer price with no date.
Is a borescope at $400 to $900: bore scoring on the 9A1 3.8 is far rarer than on the 996 and 997 M97 engines but it is not zero, and a replacement engine is $55,000, so the anxiety prices this car more heavily than the failure rate does.

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 S, 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.
