I am interested in you views on LHD v RHD?
I am looking at buying a LHD Syncro DoKa from Germany. and I was wondering what is the value differential between LHD and RHD? Does it make a difference to the value compared to a RHD model?
If 2 identical DoKa were sat side by side one LHD one RHD wold they have the same value??
I am interested to know for 2 points
1. For the assured value of the Bulli, I can compare the one I am looking at with a RHD model of similar condition year and mileage but I cannot find any thing of similar condition over here LHD.
2. Just to check I am not over paying

Have a great weekend guys!!

Personally I don't think it makes a sh!t of difference and you have more chance of getting a tidier LHD truck.

Personally I prefer RHD, I do own a LHD car (golf rallye) but never felt at home sat on the wrong side...that's up to you of course..I would say insurance would be affected perhaps?

If you want to know if your over paying, tell us what it costs and we will tell you if its too much, i´ve always seen it as a bit strange that people buy syncros from Germany, a country where syncros cost top money instead of looking a bit further north to sweden/ finland and getting twice as much for their money!

WHS ^^^ Plus there were far more lhd versions produced so more choice.

Especially if you want a 16" only 4 rhd were made !!!!
