Porsche Market Recap – March 2026

February set a strong tone for the year, with 522 cars sold for $47.9m, marking a 13% increase in unit volume and a 31% jump in dollar volume year over year, all while holding a healthy 75% sell-through rate. March continued that trend.. With the same 75% sell-through rate, the market expanded as 687 Porsches crossed the block for a total of $78.1m, representing a 12% increase in units and a 36% surge in dollar volume compared to last March. Perhaps more telling is the step up from February to March this year, with unit volume increasing by 165 cars and dollar volume jumping over $30m, signaling strong momentum as we head deeper into the spring market.

Last month we discussed Florida Car Week, which spanned the end of February and the beginning of March, with record after record set at the very top of the market. While the remainder of March didn’t quite reach those same heights, the top end remained strong. Singer’s Classic Study 911s are now firmly back above the $1m mark, with the “Fillmore” commission, a gorgeous example finished in Pure Gunmetal over Turmeric, hammering at $1,275,000. We also saw another twelve-month online high for the 991.2 GT2 RS, as a Paint-to-Sample Cobalt Blue Metallic example with just 571 miles sold for $660,000. 911 S/Ts, on the other hand, appeared to soften slightly, with both examples to cross the block trading below the $648,000 floor we had seen over the prior twelve months.

As you know, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the Boxster and Cayman market as Porsche has sunset the 718, with any potential ICE replacement still a few years out, if it comes at all. The Boxster GTS 4.0 market took a clear step up this month with back-to-back twelve-month highs. A 1,500-mile example sold for $109,000, followed shortly after by a 271-mile car bringing $112,000 after failing to sell at that same number back in February. The rest of the mid-engined lineup appeared largely flat, including the Cayman GT4 RS, which has been trending downward for some time. That said, we did see one standout, a Paint-to-Sample Black Olive example with 2,400 miles and all the right options, which became the first online auction result to exceed $200,000 since September of last year.

One standout worth calling out from the broader Boxster market was a 2008 Boxster S Limited Edition 6-Speed, finished in Orange over Black leather and Alcantara, showing 14,000 miles. One of just 250 units produced, this was a well-kept example with recent service and strong presentation. Coming into the sale, twelve-month comps averaged $44,400, with a prior high of $48,000 for a 1,800-mile car, albeit in Alaska. Despite having more miles, this one reset the market, selling at a final bid of $49,999. A strong result, and one that suggests there’s still upside in the right limited-run Boxsters when they check the right boxes.

Looking at the air-cooled market, we saw a surprising number of 993 Carrera S examples cross the block. Seven in total, with all but one finding new homes, averaging $242,600, and all but one clearing the $200,000 mark. Leading the way was a 15,000-mile 1998 example finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Black leather. An excellent car throughout, it set a new twelve-month high at a final bid of $275,000 after failing to sell in February at $242,000. Another standout came from a 1989 911 Carrera Coupe 25th Anniversary Edition, formerly owned by Jerry Seinfeld. Showing just 11,000 miles, it was the lowest mileage example we’ve seen by a wide margin and presented accordingly, hammering at a final bid of $172,000.

With strong results across multiple segments and momentum building through the first quarter, all eyes now turn to April. Headlining the month is Broad Arrow Auctions’ Air|Water all-Porsche sale, which has quickly become one of the more anticipated single-marque events on the calendar. If the first three months of the year are any indication, expect more of the same, strong results, competitive bidding, and a market that continues to show depth across both modern and vintage offerings.
