The median 1965 Volkswagen Beetle sold for $22,750 in 2025, against $15,900 in 2021. Each row is the median of the verified sales recorded in that calendar year, so it moves with the mix of mileages and options that came to market as well as with the market itself.
| Year | Median sale | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $22,750 | 4 |
| 2024 | $19,750 | 8 |
| 2023 | $16,558 | 4 |
| 2022 | $15,500 | 7 |

Years with fewer than three verified USD sales are omitted — a one-sale “median” is a single car, not a market.
