How much does a used VW California go for?

The cheapest VW California that is available here on AutoUncle costs £32,990, while the most expensive model is priced at £81,999.

The price for the German car is determined by five primary factors: manufacturing year, engine size and performance, fuel consumption of the car, vehicle mileage along with equipment variant.

For instance, a car that is newer and has fewer miles on the clock will typically command a higher price. In the same vein, models at the higher end, replete with luxurious features or more robust engines, generally come with a more substantial price tag than an earlier version with less equipment and higher mileage.

What equipment variants are available for VW California?

The most popular equipment variants for the VW California are:

  • VW California California: Right now you will find 144 cars for sale at an average price of £63,138

What are the fuel options for the VW California?

The VW California most commonly uses diesel as its fuel type.

Price comparison of popular fuel types for VW California:

  • VW California diesel: 165 cars currently available with an average price of £58,753
  • VW California hybrid: 9 cars currently available with an average price of £79,034
  • VW California petrol: Currently there is 7 cars available on AutoUncle with an average price of £61,854
  • VW California plug-in hybrid: currently AutoUncle has 1 car available with an average price of £83,991

In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: What's your typical weekly driving mileage? Are your trips usually short or do they cover longer distances?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. If you often drive long distances and can't charge, diesel can still be a viable option. Remember that diesel engines with high emissions are prohibited from entering cities in various countries.
