We’ve been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for three years now, and we’ve seen some pretty astonishing examples pop up now and again. This week we’re distinctly aware that winter is right around the corner, so we’re going to focus on a string of all-wheel drive Porsches. Obviously it’s important to install winter tires if you live somewhere with inclement weather, but that all-wheel traction sure doesn’t hurt. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed our curated look at the Porsche market. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.
INTERESTED IN HAVING YOUR PORSCHE FEATURED HERE?
Every other week, we feature 5 of our favorite Porsches on eBay. That post is sent out to our mailing list of more than 17,000 Porsche owners and fans and is seen by 10s of thousands of other readers who visit our site directly. If you’re selling a Porsche on eBay and would like to see it featured here, just shoot us an email with the details and we’ll be back in touch. Otherwise, feel free to check out all the other eBay listings we have on our Porsches for sale pages.
1. 2010 Porsche Panamera Turbo For Sale
It wasn’t all that long ago that these were brand new six-figure cars. Depreciation in the luxury car segment means that you can now get one for just a smidge over half the original MSRP. Given that this car was likely to have been well cared for in its time on earth, so long as the service history is up to snuff, you can rest assured that it’ll function pretty well in your ownership as well. This example only has 50,000 miles on the odometer, and that 500-horsepower turbo V8 is known to be pretty stout through that mileage. It’s unlikely to ever appreciate, but boy it’ll be a fun ride while someone else has already taken the depreciation hit for you.

2. 2008 Porsche Cayenne Manual For Sale
This Cayenne has crossed a lot of miles at this point, over 100,000 miles in fact, but that it is equipped with the base model’s Volkswagen-sourced VR6 engine means the parts aren’t too expensive, and DIY service isn’t impossible. Normally it wouldn’t be worth it to expend effort on a base Cayenne, but this one is equipped with the rare manual-transmission. This would be an ideal winter Porsche mobile, if you were so inclined. Ground clearance is important in some places with lots of snowfall.

3. 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo For Sale
The 996 Turbo remains my favorite forced-induction car of the watercooled era. It’s simple and elegant and has aged quite well. It’s AWD system is a bit rudimentary compared to newer models, but that clunkiness is something of its charm. It’s far more advanced than earlier AWD 911s, and comfortable enough to be a daily driver. This model has been trending upward in recent years, and it’s time to climb on board before they explode out of the price range of mere mortals.

4. 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
There is nothing that looks quite like a 993 Widebody, and enthusiasm for the C4S is the backbone of the early beginnings of this very website. The C4S has a lot of the goodies from the 993 Turbo, including the widened suspension, brakes, and wheels, but with a gem of a naturally aspirated powertrain. When you’re driving around in the cold and snow, you want a linear powerband for predictable wheel slip in the messy stuff. Most would gasp at the prospect of driving a 993 C4S in the snow, but if you wash the undercarriage and use proper rust preventative sprays, you might be able to get away with it.

5. 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet For Sale
As Porsche’s 964-generation 911 explodes in value, the Carrera 4 and Cabriolet have seemingly withstood that giant explosion for now. Even better, get the Carrera 4 with a drop-top, and it’s seen as undesirable to the level you’d think it had leprosy. Thinking about it this way, however, you can have an all-weather appropriate 911 in this car. There is almost nothing better than driving with the top down on a chilly day with the heat blowing hard. Imagine a mid-winter sunny day when the roads are cleared and the temperatures are higher than they’ve been for over a month. While everyone else is still trapped inside their tin-top cars, this Porsche can handle the occasional snow drift, and still give you that wind-in-the-hair experience.
