1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 996 for Sale in Czechia

This Porsche 911 Carrera belongs to the 996 generation, the first water-cooled 911, and comes from the very first months of production. The car was first registered on 24 October 1997 and shows 157,950 km. AR CARS offers it in Ostrava, in the Czech Republic.

Behind the rear axle sits the 3,387 cc water-cooled flat-six, rated by the seller at 221 kW, or 300 PS. Wikipedia gives 350 Nm for the early 3.4-litre Carrera; this car has the five-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The shell is new from the ground up, wider and stiffer than the 993's, and the front end is shared with the first Boxster. Porsche showed the 996 in 1997 as the first water-cooled 911, and built it at Zuffenhausen until 2004. It doubled the model's output and carried the marque through the years that followed, and the early 3.4-litre Carrera is the purest of the family.

The car is finished in blue, and the seller states that it has been given a new paint finish. Inside are four seats with leather steering wheel and heated, electrically adjustable front seats.

The seller's equipment list includes, among other items: 4 airbags, ABS, adjustable steering column and alloy wheels.

FAQ

This Porsche 911 Carrera in the European market

Is this Porsche 911 Carrera priced above or below the European market?

At CZK 820,000, about €33,957, it sits below the median of €90,826 for the 15 Porsche 911 Carrera advertised in Europe in 2026. 7% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Porsche 911 Carrera be bought in Czechia and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Ostrava, Czechia. The dealer quotes it as: Margin scheme, VAT not shown. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Porsche 911 Carrera cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €74,930 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at CZK 820,000, 55% below it. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.

How does the mileage of this Porsche 911 Carrera compare?

157,950 km recorded, against a median of 38,000 km across the Porsche 911 Carrera advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Porsche 911 Carrera are priced closest to this one?

a 2001 car in Estonia at €29,000, and a 2007 car in Switzerland at €40,367. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Porsche 911 Carrera, and how does a purchase work?

AR CARS, s.r.o., a professional dealer in Ostrava, Czechia. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Porsche 911 Carrera be inspected before purchase?
