Price of an Older VW auto in Mexico

Can't Post | Private Reply

I am strongly considering relocating from the state of Iowa to Mexico into the Oaxaca area. I am thinking about just selling my older US made auto and flying down to Mexico. If I were to purchase an older volkswagon (made in Mexico) in good running condition (maybe about 10 years old) what would I expect to pay for that type of car ?

A Mexican friend bought a used VW in really bad condition a couple years ago and she still paid 25,000 pesos.

I paid about 1300 USD for a 92 VW in pretty good shape. I put about $300 USD into the mechanical stuff and need about another
3 or 4 hundred USD in body and paint. Like everywhere, you have to check out the deals. Find a mechanic and have them give it a once over.

We have a friend in Mazatlan that has a 1998 VW beetle, with 30,000 KM on it (I believe)
and they can be contacted at: minahan@hotmail.com.

When we first moved to Chiapas in 1998 we bought a 91 VW Bug in good condition. We paid 30,000 pesos, or less than $3000 US. A year or so later we sold it for the same price. Bugs are extremely popular in southern Mexico, especially if you can't afford a brand new SUV!
