2016 Volkswagen Beetle R-line SEL Convertible 2D Depreciation
Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.

KBB.com Review
Kbb.com Expert Rating
If you’re shopping a compact coupe but you want something that really stands out from the crowd, Volkswagen’s 2016 Beetle coupe and convertible deserve a good look. Their build quality is excellent, as is the quality of the materials used to form the feature-rich cabin.
If you regularly carry more than two people, the Beetle’s two doors and smallish back seat probably won’t meet your needs. A 5-door hatchback such as the Mazda3, Mini Cooper hardtop and Fiat 500L all offer unique styling, plus more room for people and cargo.
