Buyer’s notes
About the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (964)
The 964 was the first 911 on a largely new platform: about 85 per cent of its components were new, with coil springs in place of torsion bars, power steering, standard ABS and a 3.6-litre flat-six of 250 PS. The Carrera 4, the first four-wheel-drive 911, was the model it launched with.
What moves the price
- Drivetrain: enthusiasts generally prefer the rear-drive Carrera 2, which sits above the Carrera 4; the extra traction counts for little on the road against the extra weight.
- Gearbox: manual cars are preferred to Tiptronic, which has a mixed reputation.
- Maintenance evidence: documented care of the oil level is worth money at purchase.
Before you buy, check
- The oil-level history: the air-oil cooling needs regular checking, and running low causes expensive bore wear.
- Tiptronic components, which can fail with age, if the car has that gearbox.
- A specialist service history with no gaps.
