About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Aging paint with a few bubbles on the driver?s side fender. Very straight bodywork. Very good chrome. New suspension. The interior is fair with a scuff on the passenger's seat and the headliner is stained near the rear window. This is a good driver quality car.

Market commentary

As the Porsche market has gone nuts, the air-cooled VW market has been dragged up as well. Two years ago this would have been a completely ridiculous price for a condition 3 Karmann Ghia. The buyer still overpaid by five or six grand here, but this much for a Karmann Ghia isn't as outrageous as you might think.
