Appraisal value for Possible Sale of 1972 Bug

[Mike Morehouse]

Good morning.

I am considering selling our 1972 stock Bug which was purchased new by my father-in-law in TX in 72 so wife and I are second owners. My wife and I restored the car in early 2000 and it has 110,000 miles on it and is all original except for interior upholstery which we upgraded from square weave vinyl and other necessary mechanical part replacements. Engine has never been opened up and runs well. Car has been garaged since restoration but is driven weekly.

Being in Alabama there are not a lot of VW shops so what would listees recommend as the best way to get an appraised value for a possible sale as I don't really know what cars of similar age and quality are worth?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Mike in Alabama

I would check the Hagerty Web site.

Good luck, it sounds like you'd have no issues selling it.

Kyle,

Set up an acct with hagerty. Nice site although all the comps for Beetles were for convertibles but it helped. I guess mine would likely be a condition 2 from their descriptions.

Thanks again for the lead.

There is an independent network of vehicle appraisers and I had one of
mine done about 10 years ago.

The guy did not necessarily know VW buses, but had done his homework
before he got here. In my opinion, his appraisal(for insurance purposes)
was exactly correct.

Can't remember the name of the group right now, but if you are not happy
with what you find on the web, come back to me and I will look up my
papers.

The guy that I set up with initially offered me a job in the future. He
said that it mattered not that I didn't know squat about mustangs and
camaro's cause they had guys that were expert on those and would help with
any appraisal.

Cheers, dave

Dave,

Thanks. One listee told me to check Hagerty but all the comps they had were convertibles. No rush but if you do come across your paperwork I'd appreciate the info on your appraiser.

Thanks,

Mike,

Here ya go...

I am in the middle of doing a complete write up to sell my restored 78
Champagne edition bus so I had seen it in there several weeks ago.

Make sure you like them and talk to them. You will pay travel expenses if
there is not one close to you(I paid from Springfield missouri to Arkansas
I think).

Thanks so much Dave.

Interesting, it valued mine even though it is a hardtop.
