Volkswagen begins in 1937 when Germany creates a state owned enterprise to build a vehicle for the masses, or a people’s vehicle, which becomes Volkswagenwerk. During World War II, the company focuses primarily on producing military vehicles, so it does not have significant output until the postwar era, when Wolfsburg becomes Volkswagen’s industrial center.

Over the years, as it grows, its models enter international markets and gain iconic status, including the Beetle. Volkswagen vehicles are often chosen by used vehicle buyers because they offer a balance of European driving dynamics, efficient space use, and a brand name with proven resale demand over time.

Other vehicles with strong resale value include the Golf and GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, and Atlas, all of which are often purchased by buyers seeking comfortable long distance highway travel, quality interiors, and common service support in nearly every market.

For sellers, common indicators include complete service histories, particularly for DSG equipped vehicles, clean vehicle history reports, particularly when the vehicle is properly maintained by the original owner, and completion of all factory recalls. In addition, vehicles with desirable finish options such as seat materials, exterior colors, and documented tire and brake work increase the pool of potential buyers.
