Depreciation Insight
Volkswagen Classic Beetle depreciation behaves differently from modern cars. While most new vehicles lose 20–30 % of their value in the first year, a classic vehicle can enjoy an appreciation trend depending on its condition. However, a freshly restored or well‑maintained 1966 model typically loses 15-20 % of its value in the first year after restoration, reflecting the ordinary wear‑and‑tear in vintage markets. Subsequent years often stabilize, and collectors may even see a modest increase of 5–10 % annually in prime markets such as the United States, Germany, or Australia.
