Trend
The Carrera 4S median is down 22%, from $38,563 in 2021 to $30,000 in 2026. Yearly medians use years with at least 3 sales; small samples — direction, not precision.
What sellers are asking
Across 5 live Carrera 4S listings (PCA Mart and Rennlist, captured 2026-10-19), the median asking price is $51,500. Asking prices are not selling prices — they run above hammer prices; the two figures are shown side by side, never blended. Method: how we keep asking and sold data separate.
Documented maintenance moves the number
A documented IMS bearing replacement is worth +7.8% on this model in our data — measured by regression across the verified dataset. Apply it in the calculator; the evidence is on the methodology page.
