Hi guys
A ballpark figure on the following:
1970 1500 manual beetle
martini olive (?) paint
original owner, records, good original condition
no major rust (cant see any actually)
original interior in terrific shape
'75 single cab pickup
With a RWC and registration, drive away, could be up to $4000.
If it is run down mechanically, it could go as low as $1500
Roger that
Its at a random car dealer in melb (trade in) and they have $8k on it!!!!
'75 single cab pickup
Car dealers deliberately leave haggle room though, especially on old cars. I bet he would be happy to take $5000 for it.
8 kiss my ass. It would owe them under 2.
They would have bought it under the low end of $1500, and will want more than the high end of $4000.
A Beetle is a desirable car, but not very rare. The market shows late Beetles struggling to get $8K unless they have a confirmed quality that has usually meant twice that much has been spent on the restoration of the vehicle.
In some rare models like Karmann Cabriolets this is a different situation. They are much rarer. and highly desirable.
