What Porsche 911 do most buyers choose?

The Porsche 911 years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, options, and price. They also usually reflect the most current versions of the model, which many shoppers prioritize when buying used.

The 2021 and 2025 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

Should I buy a used Porsche 911 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2024 model is at −5.09% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −3.75%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 30.3% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 29.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $224,477. The Porsche 911 offers an iconic rear-engine character that makes it feel special every time you drive it.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: To those who’ve kept up with the Porsche 911 Carrera’s progress over the years, this may sound like a broken record: This latest iteration’s high-card is versatility—and it may be the most versatile generation ever, even our tester’s base spec with surprisingly few options tacked on. Take for instance its 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six powertrain. Sporting the former Turbo model’s intercoolers and former GTS’ turbochargers, it now puts out 388 horsepower—nine more than the 2024 model—and 331 pound-feet of torque that peaks a tad earlier in the rev band over last year’s model, too. EPA-rated fuel economy comes in at 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined.
• Tech: One of the 992.2 Carrera’s biggest changes over the 992.1 is a fully digital 12.6-inch instrument cluster. The same can’t be said about the center 10.9 inch infotainment screen, dubbed Porsche Communication Management (PCM), and pairing an iPhone via wireless Apple CarPlay was quick and easy.
• Safety: The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera comes standard with traffic sign recognition, pedestrian protection, forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking. To expand this suite of driver assistance technology, the $5,240 Premium Package includes adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera system with active parking assistance, and lane-change assist.
• Starting price: Kicking off the latest Porsche 911 Carrera’s trim hierarchy is the base model at $122,095.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
