2007 911 Carrera S Cabriolet 6-Speed

When the 997-generation 911 debuted for the 2005 model year, it marked the return of the Carrera S, a designation that had been absent from the 996 lineup. Sitting above the standard Carrera, the Carrera S received a larger 3.8-liter flat-six producing 355 horsepower, along with PASM adaptive suspension, larger brakes borrowed from the 996 Turbo, and 19-inch wheels as standard equipment. Combined with the return to more traditional 911 styling, most notably the round headlights, the Carrera S quickly became the enthusiast’s choice and remains one of the most popular variants of the 997 generation today.

This 2007 911 Carrera S Cabriolet came finished in Black with a Black soft top over a Black leather interior, showed 30,000 miles, and came optioned with BOSE, 19” Turbo wheels, and more. While the one-owner CarFax was certainly a plus, service history was limited to just four records. Overall, it appeared to be a nice driver-quality example showing the expected wear on the paint and interior for its age.

Over the past twelve months, 997.1 Carrera S Cabriolet values have averaged $46,300, with a low of $31,247 and a high of $72,000 for a Forest Green Metallic example with 52,000 miles. Our Spotlight Car failed to sell back in May at a final bid of $39,000, but comps suggested it belonged in the $47,000–$57,300 range. This time around, it found a new home at a final bid of $50,000, right in the market.
