Hi, I am interested in the 2018 Beetle listed at $26,995. Comparable ones in Alberta with similar mileage have been selling between $23,897 and $25,692 this month, typically around $24,794. Would you do $24,794? I can come in this week.
9 used Beetles (2016 and newer) in Alberta right now. Here are the 9 most recently listed, each checked against the fair range for its own year and mileage. 2 look like good deals.

Before you negotiate
- Anything under $23,897 at this mileage is a good deal. Get the history report before you go.
- Stepping back one year to a 2017 saves about $4,997 for the same generation. Worth a look if mileage is similar.
- 1 of the 3 comparable cars sold in the last 30 days, so this range reflects real transactions, not just asking prices.
Confidence: low (2 comparable cars at this mileage). Prices are per vehicle; the same car listed at several rooftops is counted once. Sold cars are kept in because a car that sold at a price is evidence about that price.
