Car is in great shape for its age and had been well kept. I don't think the price fits the year. It's a bit expensive for the condition

CarGurus recommends the 2015 Volkswagen Beetle
Summary
With 367 currently listed for sale and an average price of $13,387, 30.8% of 2015 Volkswagen Beetle listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2015 Volkswagen Beetle 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8 / 10.
47.4% of 2015 Volkswagen Beetle listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2015 Volkswagen Beetle stands out for its retro styling and the flexibility of its trim range, which lets buyers tailor the car to their needs without paying for features they do not want. It is also a car with personality: the summary notes that this year’s Beetle Convertible TDI keeps the familiar look while losing some of the cute, giving it a slightly more guy-friendly character than in years past.
It does not give up on driving appeal, either. The 2015 Beetle offers three engine choices, including a new, more powerful TDI clean diesel that also improves fuel economy. That combination of style, choice, and efficiency makes it appealing to shoppers who want something distinctive rather than purely practical, though it is not a bargain no matter which trim you choose.
