Why are there so many old style VW Beatles in Mexico?

Question

And to think they are now a collector item in the United States.

Answer 1

VW does have a plant in Puebla but they no longer make the VW Beetle.  It has been out of production for about four years.  However, the cars are relatively inexpensive (a new one was about $6,500) and every mechanic can repair one.  Many taxis will have to be replaced in Mexico City, Taxco (with narrow, steep streets) and other cities in Mexico.

Answer 2

because they still manufacture them in mexico

Answer 4
