How to Find the Value of a 1973 Volkswagon Convertible Beetle

If you are looking at buying or selling a 1973 Volkswagon Convertible Beetle, you need to have a solid estimate as to how much the car is worth. It is possible to have a vehicle appraised by an automotive expert (your insurance company can help you locate one); however the easiest way to find a ballpark figure for the Volkswagon's worth is via the Internet.

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Internet Access

Instructions

1. Navigate to the NADA Guide's used car price site (www.nadaguides.com). This site provides an excellent listing of cars as well as the value of the vehicle. Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds are other good sites you can use, although it will often take what other cars of the same make are selling for in your area into consideration (if you do not find the value in one of the sites try a different one).

2. Select the body style of the car ("Convertible" in this case).

3. Choose "Volkswagen" from the listing of car types. The date will not be provided, so click "Go to Classic Car Pricing." Once at the new page select the year, make and model of the car and click "Go."

4. View the listings of the other 1973 Volkswagen Convertible Beetles. Compare your car to one nearer in mileage. This will help you know a general estimate as to how valuable your car is.
