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.

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

Re: [vintagvw] Appraisal value for Possible Sale of 1972 Bug

2015-06-09 Thread Dave C. Bolen
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

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).

[vintagvw] Appraisal value for Possible Sale of 1972 Bug

2015-06-09 Thread 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
