just did know how to find out what my car is worth so i thought i would ask you guys
she is a 72 auto beetle with new interior, head lining,paint and enigne runs well.
not that i want to sell her just want to know her $$$ value
thanks
this is wht she looks like
nice a few bucks that one
I like those wheels
What are they called?
Simon
its one of those piece of string questions
its only worth waht the market will pay at the time
but theyre only ever worth half what u spend on them
Try $6000 and see what happens. If you get lookers and no buyers, some of the offers you may get may be less, and you could take that into consideration. You may wish to try $8000, it is your choice, you will pay for a few advertisements if you go too high, before you get the buyer. Maybe Ebay with a reserve. More info helps a lot. What mechanical reports can you provide on condition of engine, such as compression test on engine cylinders, roadworthy certificate, does it have rego, new tyres, stereo, receipts for paintjob, interior, does the paintjob have a warranty from the place that did it. Many questions buyers will ask.
Most people don't get what they have spent on vehicles..
but insurance wise, I'd ask for a quote from Shannons
and NRMA classic & vintage insurance
that will give you a good idea...
My 68 beetle is insured for $5000 with NRMA classic
I could have insured with Shannons for $8000
so Yours would be worth at least that Nicole
maybe more..
How about some more photos?
engine and interior , front and side views...
cheers
Lee
what size are your tyres Nicole?
Lee
going by pics shes posted b4 they look like 14" 195/50
way to low profiled for a bug
turbo mags
they are called hurricane turbo built by csa in the early eighties
really i dont know much about vw but i just do what i like. dont know what type of mags they are but my dad picked them up for me as part of a present for me, i would really like to get spyder wheel eventually. as for the size will have a look tomorrow and try and post some pics. she is still a bit of a work in progess needs just the little touches and maybe a new engine one day. but need an approx for the insurance. think i will go through vigil insurance as we had a mustang put through them once and they seemed to be the cheapest.
Hi Nicole,
with Shannons or NRMA Classic and vintage insurance
if your car is written off in an accident...
You get your car back...
so You can take all the good parts off it
or rebuild it....
The wheels look like 14 inch Nicole...
VW wheels are 15 inch...
so Your speedo will be out and your engine will rev higher because of the small wheels...
LEE
14 inch wheels were common years ago as they made your beetle accelerate faster ..
and your engine goes faster... Lee
Vigil is a great mob, we have about 5 cars through them and they've been the cheapest and seem to have the best service.

Give Shannons a ring and tell them everything about Your beetle and they will Give you a figure,
what they think Your car is worth...
this can be changed ..
cheers

there are a few 14" tyres u get same rolling diameter as 165r15s or bigger
my mate davids bug has 14" hot wires and 215/75 tyres on
u can see theyre actually taller than the 18" 215/35 on the front of my bug
but from the pics nicole has put up of her bug side on its got 50 series tyres on which are way to low profile for a vw poor thing at 100km/h would be
revving its t*ts off
but anyway back OT its a hard question to answer
u would be better getting an assessor to value it

will have to give them a ring so i can drive it the poor thing has only been driven twice in the last year which could nearly be classed as a sin.
