    Volkswagen Volkswagen Advice Volkswagen 1600 Volkswagen 1600 Advice Volkswagen 1600 1971
    MY DAUGHTER owns a 1971 VW 1600 TL Type 3 notchback sedan, but has come to the conclusion running a classic is a little above what an impoverished university student can afford. How much might it be worth and how should she sell it? It is in good running order and presents well.

    I'M SURPRISED to hear the cost of running the VW is too expensive because they are usually very reliable and inexpensive to service. Before deciding to sell it she should consider the service costs of the car she buys to replace it. All cars require servicing and classics don't usually cost any more than more mundane cars. A good example of the Type 3 sedan would be worth up to $4000. Try the newspaper classifieds, specialist classic car magazines or your local VW club for selling.
