Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The 964 Carrera 4 has appreciated 12.9 per cent over the past year, with the median UK value now standing at £66,626. This steady upward momentum aligns with the model's classification as an appreciating classic and signals a market that continues to reward ownership.

The market sample is modest, with eight transactions recorded in the past twelve months against a total tracking history of twenty sales, indicating thin liquidity overall. The absence of active listings at present further suggests limited availability, which typically favours sellers but constrains choice for potential buyers.

Production of the 964 Carrera 4 reached 13,353 units across its generation, a substantial volume that places it firmly in the accessible end of the classic Porsche spectrum. Despite this production run, the model carries a collectibility score of 7 and remains classified as highly collectible, reflecting its enduring appeal among enthusiasts.

Average mileage across transacted examples sits at 27,054 miles, a figure that suggests most surviving cars have been reasonably preserved rather than driven extensively. This moderate usage pattern is typical for the segment and aligns with collector expectations for vehicles now three decades old.

The three-year projection points to a base appreciation of 32.9 per cent, with values potentially reaching £88,530 by 2027, whilst the five-year outlook suggests a 45.9 per cent gain to £97,174. These projections reflect continued interest in early-1990s air-cooled Porsches, though gains are expected to moderate as the market matures and supply constraints ease.
