The most common primary damage was front end (60% of sales), followed by side (16%).

Wrecked 2017 Volkswagen Beetle questions

How much is a wrecked 2017 Volkswagen Beetle worth?

Most sold for $350 to $1,625 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $700 across 63 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.

Does it matter if my 2017 Volkswagen Beetle still runs?

Yes. 81% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.

Should I part out my wrecked 2017 Volkswagen Beetle or sell it whole?

At a median of $700, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.

Can I sell a 2017 Volkswagen Beetle with a salvage title?

Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
