Buyer’s notes
About the Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (964)
The 964 was the first 911 on a genuinely new platform: around 85 per cent of its parts were new, with coil-spring suspension, power steering and ABS as standard, and a 3.6-litre engine. The rear-drive Carrera 2 followed the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4 at launch, and it is the one most drivers prefer.
What moves the price
- Gearbox: manual cars are worth more than Tiptronic automatics, and collectors avoid the Tiptronic.
- Condition and specification account for most of the difference between one Carrera 2 and the next.
- The 964 still trades below the 993 on most measures. The gap is about looks more than engineering, and it has been narrowing.
Before you buy, check
- Evidence that the oil level has been looked after: running low causes bore wear that is expensive to put right.
- A documented maintenance history, which is worth money when you come to sell.
- On Tiptronic cars, the gearbox itself, whose components can fail with age.
