Discover the legendary Porsche 959, an icon of 1990s automotive engineering that still commands attention in today’s exotic car market.

Understanding the used Porsche 959 price is essential for anyone planning to acquire one. Unlike major production models, the 959’s numbers vary widely; it is one of the few cars where “price” is consistently tied to condition, mileage, provenance, and provenance documentation. Collectors will often see 959s sold with limited numbers of road miles—especially those run in qualifying series or on track events. Benchmark prices are therefore fluid, and a genuine club car can fetch a premium far above its original MSRP of roughly $445,000 in 1995.
One of the most pressing questions for prospective buyers is what is a Porsche 959 worth? The answer hinges on a combination of factors:
- Condition: A 959 with under 1,000 miles and original factory service records will naturally command a higher value.
- Original optional equipment: Introduced accessories like a “Panegyric” package (with special decals) or “Race Mode” upgrades can add to the final value.
- Documentation: Original purchase receipts and service history provide assurance of authenticity.
- Provenance: Cars that have been previously owned by notable figures or that have a documented racing pedigree can fetch a premium.
When depreciation comes into the conversation, the 959’s story is fascinating: a car that was designed to retain value due to its rarity and performance pedigree. Unlike most modern supercars, the 959 is still appreciated by collectors; however, it does experience some degree of depreciation.
