I’ve always wanted a Volkswagen Beetle with a convertible top, and now that I’m an adult with a salary, I want to buy one. How much will a used convertible Bug cost me?
convertible will typically cost you between $10,000 and $25,000, depending on the exact model year, features, mileage, and condition of the car you decide to buy. Some used Beetle convertibles may even cost over $40,000 if they’re in mint condition.
If you decide to purchase a used Beetle convertible, there are a few issues that you should be on the lookout for. Some of these issues include:
A Check Engine light or other signs of engine problems, like odd smells or sounds coming from under the hood
Failing windows that won’t roll up completely
Transmission issues when driving or trying to park the vehicle
If you find a Beetle at a suspiciously low price, it’s also worth getting it inspected by a professional before you purchase it. That way, you’ll know if there are any problems with your new car before you drive it home.
Remember that you’ll need to insure your new Beetle, too. Check out the
