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 315 currently listed for sale and an average price of $12,947, 27.3% of 2015 Volkswagen Beetles for sale 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.
47.0% of 2015 Beetle models 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 described as not being a bargain no matter which trim you choose, so its appeal is less about low pricing and more about choosing the right mix of equipment and personality.
This model year keeps the Beetle’s fun character while offering three engine choices, including a new, more powerful TDI clean diesel that also improves fuel economy. The summary also notes that the Beetle Convertible TDI loses some of the cute this year, making it a little more guy-friendly than in years past. Owner feedback reinforces the car’s style, fuel efficiency, and reliability, while also pointing to a lack of technological features, particularly navigation, as a drawback.
