Volkswagen - Sharan (2005)
Volkswagen Sharan price is a key factor for anyone looking to buy a reliable and roomy van. The 2005 Volkswagen Sharan, with its spacious interior and practical design, has become a popular choice for families and small businesses alike. In today’s market, the price of a used Volkswagen Sharan 2005 varies by region, mileage, condition and whether it’s a single‑seat or extra‑seats configuration. Buyers often ask, “what is a 2005 Volkswagen Sharan worth?”, and the answer typically ranges from a few thousand euros to a modest premium for well‑maintained examples. This description provides a detailed view of the vehicle’s specifications, depreciation trend, and contextual market information so you can make an informed decision.

- Fuel type: Diesel – highly efficient for long commutes and family trips.
- Dimensions: Length 4,583 mm; Width 1,819 mm; Height 1,875 mm; Wheelbase 2,830 mm.
- Weight: 1,475 kg (manual) to 1,540 kg (automatic).

Understanding the Volkswagen Sharan depreciation profile helps determine a fair purchase price. After its introduction, the Sharan maintained strong demand thanks to its practicality, but as with all vehicles, it loses value over time.
- First year: Typically loses 15 – 20% of its original value.
- Years 2–3: Depreciation slows to about 8 – 10% per year.
- Years 4–5: Expects a further 5 – 8% decline annually.
- Beyond 6 years: Value plateau, with 2 – 4% reduction per year until the vehicle reaches a decades‑old service level (often around 8–10% per year).
For a 2005 model in good condition, you can estimate the market value to be roughly 30–40% of its original price by the end of year five. This means a 2005 Sharan that sold at €10,000 new may fetch around €4,000 to €5,000 today, varying with mileage (e.g., 90,000 km vs. 160,000 km).
Comparing the Sharan to similar vehicles provides useful context:
- Volkswagen Touran: Slightly smaller, pricier, less cargo space; suitable for tight city usage.
- Ford Galaxy: Comparable size, slightly higher fuel consumption, but often available at lower used price.
- Seat Alhambra: Fixed‑seat design but offers a similar rear capacity; usually a higher price point.
- Overall, the Sharan delivers a high ratio of interior space to price, especially for families or small freight.
In terms of market position, the Volkswagen Sharan is most popular in:
- The family segment, where its large seating capacity and safety have proven reliable.
- The small business sector, particularly for companies requiring a multi‑purpose vehicle that can handle passengers and cargo.
- Enthusiasts in the used diesel market, who value its low running costs and long service life.
