Japan has a deep pool of well-kept Porsche 911s: low annual mileage, garage storage and dealer service are the norm, and the auction sheet records every mark. Our stock runs from air-cooled classics to the current 992.
The generations, told apart by engine and code
| Generation | Years | Engines you'll see | Codes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 996 | 1998–2005 | 3.4, 3.6 | 996… |
| 997 | 2005–2012 | 3.6, 3.8 | 997… |
| 991 | 2012–2019 | 3.4/3.8 (991.1), 3.0 turbo (991.2) | 991… (e.g. ABA-991J1) |
| 992 | 2019 on | 3.0 turbo | 992… (e.g. 3BA-992L30) |
Carrera, Carrera S and GTS are the common grades; Cabriolet and Targa bodies appear too.
Left- or right-hand drive
Porsche sold Japanese-market 911s in both steering positions, so don't assume RHD. The steering side is visible in the listing photos, and we confirm it before you pay. That matters most for RHD countries like the UK, Ireland, Jamaica and New Zealand.
What to check
- PDK or manual: the listing says Automatic or Manual; PDK service history is worth asking for.
- 996 and early 997 engines: ask about IMS bearing and bore-scoring checks.
- Options: Sport Chrono, PASM and sports exhaust change values a lot. We send the option list on request.
Who can import one
Most 911s here are recent, so they suit no-age-limit markets (UK, Ireland, the Bahamas, Barbados and most of the Caribbean) and, for 2021-on cars, the tighter 4–5 year limits. Classic 911s more than 25 years old fall under the 25-year rules of the United States and Australia.
