$150 sounds high to me but Which ones?
It depends on which one and the sizes and the # of pages, in a lot of cases

Maybe post some pics or if they are on the site, post links of which ones you have from these pages:

The one I posted above is Beetle so your text confuses me.

There are lots of different brochures, even from the same years, this is why we would need to see some pics or know which ones they are.

I would say the ad I linked above is at least 2x the value.

I will say English is often worth more than other languages.

Thanks for posting photos.

The Bus one looks like 1954 but for both you can tell by the horsepower rating on the specifications pages.

1953 is 25hp
1954 will be 30 bhp or 36hp

I believe the Bug one goes for around $30
(There's an unsold one in the classifieds for $35)

The Bus one - $45-$50.
