OPINIONOF VALUE
The Beetle’s simple-but-functional design is thebasisfor the popularityof thesevehicles.Add to that a convertible top, nice silver paint, and classic chrome wheels with white letter tires, and you’ve got an instant summer classic.Though not muscle car horsepower, Beetles are fun and easy to drive.Three thingsholdingthisvehicle backaretheheaternotbeinghooked up,theradionotworking,andthetires are old enough that most buyers would likely want to replace them.However,Beetles are known for being reliable and easy to maintain with extensive aftermarket support for both parts and accessories. Given this, the opinion of value of this vehicle is $18,000."
