Press & data room

996Value.com, for journalists and researchers.

996Value.com is an independent valuation and market-intelligence site for the Porsche 996 (1999–2005), built and run by Wesley Neese — a 996 owner (2001 Carrera Cabriolet) in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Everything published here is computed from verified auction hammer prices, and the method is public.

The dataset

533 verified sales, 2017-03-08 to 2026-10-18, recorded daily. Hammer prices only — buyer fees excluded. Asking prices are tracked in a separate, labeled dataset and are never blended into sold figures. A free 25-sale sample is at /data/sample-sales.csv; the full dataset and licensing are available on request via the contact page.
