Understanding the financial trajectory of a used Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Cabrio price involves looking at depreciation. The major factor here is the model’s age, styling, and motorhouse versatility.
Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Cabrio depreciation patterns show that cars in this category tend to start with an 18–22 % initial drop from the original MSRP within the first year of ownership – primarily due to the wear of the retractable hardtop and the wear of the standard 5‑speed gearbox. After that, the depreciation curve flattens to 4–6 % per year for the following 5–7 years. In total, you can expect the car to retain roughly 55–65 % of its original value over a decade. These estimates can shift depending on the vehicle’s mileage, condition, and the overall demand in your local market.
