The cost of a pre-owned VW Type 3 is determined by several factors. Key contributing elements include the year, engine capacity and performance, the car's fuel economy, how many miles it has travelled along with the vehicle's equipment variant.

When examining the market value of a used VW Type 3, it's imperative to evaluate vehicles with equivalent engines and accessories. Otherwise, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to purchase.
The VW Type 3 exclusively uses petrol as its fuel. We currently offer two cars at an average price of £6,322.
Before you finalize your choice of fuel type, we suggest thoroughly evaluating your driving habits. Do you usually drive in city traffic or on highways and freeways? How many miles do you cover on a weekly basis?
For short trips, range is rarely a limitation, so electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol can be fine. For longer daily journeys, consider an electric car, especially if you have the option to charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.
The VW Type 3 is available in both cabriolet and hatchback body styles, with the cabriolet being the more popular choice. A cabrio or a convertible is a fantastic way to give the driving experience a new dimension. These days, most cabrio models have excellent hoods and weather gear, making them suitable for driving year-round. It’s worth noting that convertibles tend to be heavier than normal cars due to the lack of roof, as thickener is applied underneath the car to strengthen the chassis.
