Trend
The Carrera median is up 9%, from $27,250 in 2021 to $29,750 in 2026. Yearly medians use years with at least 3 sales; small samples — direction, not precision.
What sellers are asking
Across 3 live 2003 Carrera listings (PCA Mart and Rennlist, captured 2026-10-19), the median asking price is $22,500. 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.
