Common questions
How much does a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S cost?
A 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S cost $79,900 new. Over the past 12 months, 15 have sold publicly at a median of $43,750. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $51,900. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $23,775 to $59,685, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $51,900, up 10.9% over the past 12 months. That sits above the $43,750 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. Confidence is high: 15 public sales in a year gives a firm read.
Is a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S a good investment?
It has depreciated 35% against its $79,900 list price. Values are up 10.9% over the past 12 months. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $24,000 to $82,000, and mileage explains most of that.

The 996 Carrera 4S bridged the gap between base Carrera and Turbo, offering all-wheel-drive traction with naturally-aspirated reliability. Its 3.6-liter flat-six produced 320 horsepower—40 more than the standard Carrera—while Porsche's intelligent all-wheel-drive system provided confidence in all conditions. Pinky Lai's polarizing water-cooled design featured the wider Turbo body, complete with distinctive side air intakes and flared fenders, giving the 4S a more muscular stance than its rear-drive siblings. While initially overshadowed by reliability concerns surrounding early water-cooled engines, well-maintained examples have proven durable. The 4S represents an interesting collector proposition: it offers 90% of a Turbo's presence at a fraction of the cost, making it appealing to enthusiasts seeking modern 911 performance without the complexity or expense of forced induction.
