“2014 Beetle 1.8T at $9,248 — cute tax at the wrong price.”
Pros
- 1.8T — the better Beetle engine
- 130,139 miles is moderate for a 2014
Cons
- Priced ~$2,000 over market for the miles
- Beetle resale is fashion-driven — and the fashion passed
- 1.8T needs its timing service verified at this mileage
Analysis
The Beetle trades on charm, and charm has a price — but it’s not $9,248 for a 130,139-mile 2014. Comparable Beetle 1.8T coupes with 125–135k miles trade $6,500–$8,000. This car is priced $1,500–$2,000 over the market with nothing — no low miles, no special edition, no warranty — to justify it.
The 1.8T is indeed the engine to get, and the miles are honest. But honest miles at a dishonest price is still a no. This needed to be $7,500. MOOSED.
