The Porsche 911 is the icon of sports cars. Since 1963, the 911 has evolved while staying true to its origins: rear-mounted boxer engine, unmistakable silhouette, uncompromising driving pleasure. Whether you own a classic 2.7 RS, an air-cooled 993, or a modern 992 GT3, the 911 has an unmatched global following actively seeking special examples.
Complete history at Porsche or recognized specialists is essential. Buyers want to see every invoice and service record. An unbroken service book is the strongest selling point you can have.
No oil consumption, bore scoring, or IMS issues (model-dependent). A recent compression test or leak-down test can greatly increase buyer confidence. For air-cooled models, thermal history is relevant.
Matching numbers, original color, and factory configuration are valued. Rare options like Sport Chrono, bucket seats, or ceramic brakes add value. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is a plus.
No rust or accident damage, especially for classics. Buyers look for paint quality, panel fit, and signs of previous repairs. For water-cooled models, stone chips on the nose are a common attention point.
Low mileage is attractive, but a well-maintained 911 with higher mileage and complete history can also perform strongly. Buyers look at the full picture of condition, history, and honesty.
Manual is more desirable and expensive across many generations, sometimes by tens of thousands of euros. For newer models, PDK is also highly sought after for its performance and shift convenience.
Note: These factors may influence buyer interest. Value depends on many factors.
The 911 is more than a car. It is a phenomenon with one of the strongest buyer markets in the world. Every generation has its own community of enthusiasts who know exactly what they are looking for and are willing to pay the right price for the right example.
Through Octane, you reach this audience directly. Our platform attracts buyers specifically seeking special 911s, from early long-nose models to the latest GT variants. They do not come by accident; they search actively and purposefully. The auction format ensures multiple buyers bid simultaneously, fairly reflecting market value rather than a single negotiation.
Whether you are selling a daily-driven 997 Carrera or a collector-grade 964 RS: the process is the same. You submit your car, our team evaluates suitability, and together we create a listing highlighting the strengths of your example. We help you bring forward the right details, from specific options to service history and special characteristics.
The auction runs seven days, during which buyers across Europe can bid. Afterwards, we guide the transaction and handover. You can set a confidential reserve that is invisible to bidders, so your car only sells when your minimum price is reached.
The market for 911s is one of the most active in the enthusiast car world. Air-cooled models continue to rise, GT variants are stable to rising, and water-cooled models like the 997 and 991 are gaining appreciation. It is a good time to sell if your car is well-documented and honestly presented.
Complete documentation is the most important selling point for a 911. Sort everything chronologically. Buyers often spend more time on this than on the car itself.
Honesty builds trust. Mention what has been done and what may still need attention. Buyers appreciate transparency more than perfection.
A clean engine makes a good impression and makes it easier for buyers to assess condition. Watch for leaks and condition of hoses and cables.
Original keys, tool kit, spare wheel, booklets, and possibly compressor increase attractiveness. For classics, every original detail counts.
An option list or COC document helps buyers understand the exact configuration. For PTS colors, the color code is essential.
A fresh service before the auction gives buyers extra confidence about immediate costs after purchase. It does not need to be a major service.
Buyers appreciate transparency. Show stone chips, wear marks, and imperfections honestly. Hiding flaws backfires at auction with an informed audience.
