What the 2015 Porsche 911 Lineup Was Like
First, some base context, so we know what trims we are comparing:
- The 2015 Porsche 911 came in many trims: Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera S, Carrera GTS, Turbo, Turbo S, Cabriolets, Targas, etc. There were also all‑wheel drive (“4” variants), rear‑wheel drive, convertible vs coupe, etc.
- New MSRP in 2015 ranged from about US$84,300 for a base Carrera (coupe) up to near $195,600 for a Turbo S Cabriolet.
So there is a wide spread in what those cars cost new, and what they cost now depends heavily on which version (trim), how it was driven, condition, mileage, and other options.
What the Used / Current Market Says (2025)
Here is what current data shows for 2015 911s:
- According to U.S. News, the average listing price for 2015 911s is about US$106,300, with observed listings ranging from about US$70,000 to US$149,000 depending on model/condition.
- MotorTrend lists current pricing (used) for 2015 trims: base Carrera Coupe ~US$84,300, higher trims like Carrera GTS, Turbo and Turbo S much higher.

What Drives the Value: Key Variables
Why do some 2015 911s sell for US$100K+ and others for US$70K or less? Here are the main factors:
- Trim / Model / Power
Higher‑trim variants (GTS, Turbo, Turbo S) are more powerful, more expensive new, and often hold value better. A base Carrera will generally sell far below a Turbo S with decent options. All‑wheel drive, wider bodies, more features make a difference. - Mileage
Low‑mileage examples (say under 30,000‑40,000 miles for a 10‑year car) command premiums. A well‑kept show car or lightly driven example can fetch tens of thousands more. - Body Style / Options
Coupe vs Cabriolet vs Targa: convertibles often have more wear (roof mechanisms, leaks, etc.), so usually slightly less value if condition not perfect. Desirable color combinations, premium options (sports seats, upgraded audio, etc.) help. - Condition / Maintenance History
Whether the car has been well maintained (timing belt/chain service, brakes, tires, interior wear, etc.) and has records; whether any accident damage; body condition; how the car was stored. Auction examples that are “mint” or very clean sell very well. - Market Demand & Location
Porsche 911s tend to be somewhat recession‑resistant, and the 991 generation (which includes 2015) is popular. In areas with many Porsche enthusiasts, good servicing network, good climate (less rust), values are higher. Certain states with high demand, low supply get premium. Import/export or tax differences can also affect price in various countries. - Desirability / Rarity
Examples with rare options, manual transmissions, special paint or limited Editions are more collectible and tend to hold or grow in value better. For instance, “special editions” always get a premium. Also provenance (if previously owned by a notable person, or in rare condition) helps. - Depreciation over time
Even these luxury sports cars depreciate. But compared to many other sports cars, 911s tend to hold value fairly well. A 10‑year 911 has depreciated but not disappeared — we see many retaining 50‑70% or more of certain trims’ original value if well cared for.
Example Price Bands in 2025 for 2015 Porsche 911s
To give concrete numbers, here are approximate price bands one might expect in the U.S. market for 2015 911 models (depending on trim, mileage, condition):
| Trim / Variant | Low end (higher mileage / fair condition) | Mid‑range (good condition, average mileage) | High end (low mileage, excellent condition / rare options) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Carrera (coupe, standard) | ~ US$70,000 – US$85,000 | ~ US$90,000 – US$110,000 | US$120,000+ if very clean / rare spec |
| Carrera S / Carrera 4S | ~ US$90,000 – US$110,000 | ~ US$115,000 – US$135,000 | US$140,000+ for pristine examples |
| Carrera GTS / GTS 4 | ~ US$100,000 – US$120,000 | ~ US$125,000 – US$150,000 | US$160,000+ depending on rarity / options |
| Turbo / Turbo S | ~ US$110,000 – US$140,000 | ~ US$150,000 – US$190,000 | US$200,000+ if low miles, excellent condition, well‑optioned coupe/cab‑ritel |
These bands correlate well with data from Topspeed and Hagerty auctions. For example, a 2015 Carrera GTS Cabriolet sold for ~US$124,425 (low‑miles, good condition) recently.
Depreciation Compared to New MSRP
Compared to what these cars cost new in 2015, many are now worth around 50‑70% of their original sticker (for mid‑trim levels in good condition). Higher trims depreciate more in absolute dollars but tend to retain a better percentage if very well preserved.
For example, a Trim that had an MSRP of ~US$150,000 might now fetch ~US$100,000 – US$130,000 depending on condition/options. Base Carreras with MSRPs ~$85,000 may now be in the US$70‑100,000 range. Kelley Blue Book shows “fair purchase price” for some 2015 Carreras in that kind of range.
What Has Happened Recently (Trends in 2024‑2025)
- Auction results show increasing interest in clean, low‑mile 991 generation (2012‑2019) 911s. Examples are selling for premium.
- The used car market in general has seen fluctuations: sometimes supply constraints and inflation raise prices; sometimes high maintenance costs, wear, and new models (especially newer 911s) put downward pressure on older gen pricing.
- Special trims (GTS, Turbos, especially Cab yet low miles) are being bid up. Some owners are holding onto their cars, reducing available inventory in good condition.
- Location matters more than ever — shipping costs, import duties, local taxes, parts availability can shift value by many thousands.
What to Expect If You’re Buying a 2015 Porsche 911 in 2025
If you are looking to buy one today, here are realistic expectations and advice:
- For a base Carrera coupe from 2015, good condition, ~40‑60k miles, expect something in the US$80,000‑US$110,000 range. If it’s higher mileage or has cosmetic or mechanical issues, prices drop.
- For Carrera S / GTS / Turbo trims, especially if convertible or rare options, expect to pay well above US$100,000 (US$125,000‑US$190,000+ depending on trim, miles). For example, a 2015 Turbo S Coupe or Cabriolet in top shape with low miles can fetch near original MSRP (or sometimes above what “normal” depreciation would suggest).
- Always budget for maintenance and repair costs: 911s are known for high maintenance (tires, brakes, periodic engine/box work). Even if you get a good deal on purchase, upkeep is expensive.
- Try to find examples with complete service history, no accidents, preferably with fewer owners, and optional desirable features (manual transmission, premium trim, good paint etc.) — these hold value much better.
What Affects Whether Value Will Rise, Hold, Or Decline
- Classic / collector status: Some trims might become more collectible over time (special editions, manual transmissions, rare colors). If that happens, their values may appreciate.
- Supply of good units: If many well‑kept 2015 911s remain, then supply pressure will limit price increases. But if good ones are rarer, values go up.
- Enthusiast demand: Porsche has strong brand loyalty. If enthusiast demand remains high, especially for older 911s, that helps.
- Newer model releases: If future 911s offer revolutionary changes, older models may lose “coolness” or tech desirability. However, many buyers like older 911s for simpler mechanical design or character.
- Economy, fuel costs, insurance, parts and labor costs will also influence whether owning one remains practical and desirable.
Bottom Line
A 10‑year‑old 2015 Porsche 911 remains a strong proposition. It still holds a lot of value — many examples are selling in the US$80,000‑US$150,000 range depending on trim, condition, and mileage. Powerful versions (GTS, Turbo) with low miles can still fetch upward of US$150,000‑200,000, especially if they’re well maintained and have desirable specs.
If you’re buying, you can find “good value” in the lower trims or higher mileage examples, but to get the kind of value retention and joy (and maybe some investment potential), you’ll want to spend more for a well‑sorted example. If you’re selling, keeping it maintained, clean, serviced, and well documented is key to getting a top dollar.
