      The Carrera T demonstrates that you don't require a Porsche 911 GT3 to enjoy driving.

      This particular 911 Carrera T comes equipped with a seven-speed manual transmission and a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine.

      Remarkably, this German sports car actually increased in value, selling for nearly $2,000 more than its original price.

      Finished in GT Silver Metallic and fitted with black wheels, this model boasts nearly $20,000 in optional features.

      Premium German vehicles are often known for their significant depreciation the moment they leave the dealership, yet there are exceptions to this trend. A perfect example is the 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T, which appreciated in value, fetching almost $2,000 above its initial MSRP, even though it is two years old and has approximately 9,000 miles (14,400 km) on the odometer.

      If you need further evidence of the Porsche 911's status as one of the most sought-after sports cars globally, this is it.

      Although the 911 Carrera T doesn't belong to Porsche's renowned GT division, it is certainly one of the most driver-focused versions of the brand's iconic sports car. With a starting price of $116,600 upon its release, it offered a great deal for what it provides. Featuring a seven-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, and a limited-slip differential, the Carrera T promises an authentic driving experience.

      This particular 911 Carrera T recently changed hands on Cars & Bids for $133,000, exceeding its original MSRP of $131,320 due to several well-chosen upgrades. Notable features include the extended range fuel tank, adaptive sport seats, a surround-view camera system, the Sport Chrono package, Lane Change Assist, and a front axle lift system. It's worth mentioning that the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera T now has a starting price of $138,700, making this lightly used model appear to be a smart purchase.

      The vehicle is finished in GT Silver Metallic and is outfitted with the original black 20- and 21-inch wheels. The straightforward, appealing specifications likely contributed to its strong resale value. Similarly, the interior has been well-appointed, primarily featuring black leather with fabric seat inserts and contrasting silver stitching. There may be an excess of piano black plastic on the transmission tunnel, but one can’t be too picky, I suppose.

      Under the hood lies a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, producing 379 horsepower and 331 lb-ft (449 Nm) of torque. This power allows the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in just 4.3 seconds, achieving a top speed of 183 mph (295 km/h).

      While models like the GT3 and Turbo S boast over 500 hp and 640 hp, don't be misled into thinking you need that level of power to enjoy a Porsche 911. For everyday driving, the Carrera T is likely the best choice. It seems the seller is quite pleased with the outcome, as they have an outstanding loan on the vehicle that must be settled before the title can be transferred.
