Our weekly picks

How we pick

We list manual-transmission coupes only: the 996 Carrera, Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S from 1999 to 2005, and the 997 Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S and GTS from 2005 to 2012. No Turbo, GT2, GT3, Targa or Cabriolet. US cars only.

We read each listing ourselves and write a short summary from its facts: year, model, miles, price or current bid, colors, a few options and the state. We do not copy listing text or use listing photos. A car makes the list only when the listing confirms it is a manual coupe and states the miles and price.

Cars marked "Seller listing" were sent in by their sellers through our free listing form, with permission to show their photos. We still write the summary ourselves and do not publish the seller's contact details.

Every car links to the seller's own listing. We are not a party to any sale and we never handle money. Prices and bids change, so check the listing before you act. "Per seller" means we are repeating what the listing claims and have not checked it.

Our take on each car comes from our own research on these engines: the 996 IMS bearing, our counts of 997 IMS owner reports and 997 bore scoring owner reports, and the 997.1 buyer's guide.
