Is it worth buying a VW California?
It’s the latest version of VW’s historic campervans, featuring a great living space, good sleeping options, a car-like drive and multiple engine options. You’ll buy it because off-the-shelf options are few and far between, and this might be one of the best out there. While it’s certainly not going to be cheap, converting a campervan can bring some significant savings over buying one off-the-peg – though you have to be careful with your budgeting.
Do VW Californias hold their value?
New VW California: Depreciates slowly compared to other campervans. After 3–5 years, it retains around 70-80% of its value. Older Models (10+ years): Can still command high resale prices if well maintained. If you’re considering a VW campervan for your off-grid weekends, it’s a solid investment. Final report: VW California has been a fantastic addition to the fleet that everybody has raved about. Even those not previously taken with the idea of camping have loved spending time in the clever Volkswagen California. We’ll miss its versatility; so long, old friend!
Which VW California is best?
The most desirable version is the top-of-the-range VW California Ocean. The layout is identical to the Coast, but things get a little more luxurious, with slick ambient lighting, plenty of little extras and a more premium finish on the cabinets and flooring. What is the difference between the VW California Ocean and Coast? As already mentioned the Ocean is basically the ‘with bells on’ version of the Coast. Most things that are standard on the Ocean are an option on the Coast model. The most notable exception is the fully electric roof.
