Volkswagen Beetle Convertible keeps an estimated 78% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #80 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible retains an estimated 78% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #80 of 684 cars we track. That is 15 points above the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible sheds about 4% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $25,995 it falls to around $20,302 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,693, about $3.12 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Volkswagen Beetle Convertible bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
