How do you differentiate a german mad vw bug from a mexican made vw beetle?

I want to buy a vw beetle but I wanted a german made one. pls help me to identify it.|||Most early VWs you find will be German made. Mexican beetles maintained the 58-64 body style up to 1970, so that should be a dead giveaway. Although bugs were made in Mexico up to recent years, you won't find any in the US after 1979 (i believe), and they cannot be registered because of safety regulations.|||I don't think you'll be able to find a pure German Beetle. Beetle was meant for US market because of the past love history. Europeans don't like Beetle at all. The percentage sold in the world are minuscule. Beside, parts on all VW are from all around the world. I don't think you need to care about it unless you buy the high end VW or an Audi. For a quality Bug look for 2005 and up. I hope this help.|||Yeah id want one thats made in Germany to you can ask the dealer they should be able to tell you. Almost all the newer years are made in Germany.|||Cross reference the VIN here-
