Wouldnt say BIG demand...........well, not like a split
That said - they certainly are appreciated by the well informed
I have one and love it
Certainly the later ones are more saleable, especially those with all the luxury itemspower steering, 2.1L etc etc
Futue te ipsum!!!

It was only 10-15 years ago that T2 Kombis were common on the second-hand market and were pretty cheap - in the mid '90s you could get a really nice
one for $5K. Now you'd be looking at two to three times that.
I reckon that T3s now are where T2s were then - a bit under-appreciated and something of a bargain to buy. But I'm sure they will appreciate in the
years to come, especially when they start getting harder to find, and people come to realise that they were the last of the rear-engined
Volkswagens.
I'd recommend hanging on to yours if at all possible - you might kick yourself in 5-10 years for getting rid of it.
