For anyone considering a used 2006 Porsche 911 price or wondering what is a 2006 Porsche 911 worth, the key is to understand how depreciation, maintenance, and the vehicle’s limited production make it a prized piece on the used‑car market.
Below is a quick snapshot of the 2006 Carrera’s used Porsche 911 price profile and vehicle specs, followed by realistic depreciation estimates and comparison context that can help you gauge whether a Porsche 911 is a viable investment for you.

Depreciation Insight
The Porsche 911 depreciation curve is well‑documented among classic Subaru enthusiasts and seasoned sports‑car collectors. On average, a brand‑new 2006 Porsche 911 will usually lose 15–20% of its value in the first year. After that, the decline slows to approximately 10–12% per year over the next five years, provided the vehicle remains in good condition and is maintained in an authorized service center.
To illustrate: a brand‑new 2006 Porsche 911 priced at $86,000 today might trade at a used Porsche 911 price of around $69,000 after three years of life if the mileage stays close to the average 10,000 miles per year. If a vehicle has higher mileage or has suffered an accident, the de‑valuation can extend beyond the 12% yearly rate.
How does this compare to other super sports cars? The Porsche 911 regularly does better than the Ferrari 458, which tends to lose 20–25% in the first year, yet it depreciates at about the same rate as the Mercedes-AMG GT. In turn, the average depreciation for the BMW Z4 is roughly 10% per year, so the Porsche 911 holds its value somewhat better.
Comparison Context
Compared to similar models, the 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S is notably more expensive per mile of usage than a Delorean 2-4-5 Corvette, but it surpasses the Audi R8 4.2L in terms of longevity and service life. In the used‑car market, a 2006 Porsche 911 often outperforms the more mainstream Lotus Exige by 10–12% in resale value.
