The 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack SE recently sold for an impressive $24,750 on Bring A Trailer, defying expectations of this model being a collector’s item. Despite not being a fast car and not recently sold as a brand new model, the value of used examples of this car has notably increased due to the scarcity of new units.
The Golf Alltrack, essentially a Golf wagon with all-wheel drive and raised by six-tenths of an inch, is a rare find in the U.S. market, resembling a German version of a Subaru Outback. With the shortage of compact station wagons, the high demand for this specific Golf Alltrack is not surprising.
Unique features such as a six-speed manual gearbox, Great Falls Green paint, a panoramic sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and push-to-start, coupled with the rarity of being a manual station wagon, make this specific Golf Alltrack a desirable find for car enthusiasts. In addition, its 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, balanced chassis tuning, and all-wheel-drive system offer a great driving experience.
The high price commanded by this Golf Alltrack is not an isolated case, as several others have also sold for significant sums on Bring A Trailer, solidifying its status as a sought-after car. This phenomenon may signal a shift in the traditional depreciation of cars, with the potential for certain models to retain their value and become collectible items in the future.
The unexpected rise in value of the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack SE reflects the evolving dynamics of the automotive market and may pave the way for more unexpected trends in car valuation.
