Basically! In work today, saw a nice Corrado.. Had a closer look, was an L-reg VR6 in black with 107k! Had meaty cross drilled discs, 5 spoke speedlines (std) which were fairly kurbed, new tyres, FULL VW S/H and every M.O.T.. Tax runs out in October along with M.O.T.. The car did have a rear ender, but FULLY repaired and even our bodyshop guy cudn't identify where and what were the damaged and new panels... so pretty straight! Car had a quick look over by a few mechaincs and they've said its straight! Sooo, sounds like a good car.. I took it for a drive ..cough.. and it went VERY well! Drove like new and made no noise apart from the lovely VR note! Well, im impressed so far.. and my first thoughts were to buy it and rip the engine out and sell the rolling shell with everything still intact bar the engine/box/hydrau cluth/loom/ecu... Leaving it prefectly ready for someone wantin to dump a 20vt in it... or just use it for parts.. The bodywork has IMMACULATE paintwork, but a fair few dents here and there...easy to repair, most of which are on the drivers door and one on rear wing.. Welll, the asking price is 2200! I really only want this car for the engine, but would be a shame to break it, but i can't afford to have 2 cars, specailly after I've been looking for this engine for sooo long for my golf, but the thought of selling my golf to go mad on this corrado has crossed my mind... Now, the question. 2200 a bargin?? and would there be a market to sell the shell intact?? I can't be arsed to have it sitting around while i sell it bit by bit...
sounds too good to break really. why not buy it, sell it at a profit, then keep lookin for another doner car?
It is too good to break, I think I'd kick myself if I broke it and thne find out in a few years time that they are infact going up in value... saying that, this has 107k, and not 100% dentless bodywork, shudn't be too great an investiment, but it could see me earn a little extra money right now if i were to buy n sell it! Desperatly finding if there is a way I can buy it and run it as it is a bargin, too much of a bargin to even sell on! lol Rerally enjoyed driving it as opposed to anything else!! Definetly a high contender for next car!
i bet he has more than one - in fact i bet he has a lot ofpeople beggin him to let them buy the car...
Only the 1 strangely, and that was TT... Can't understand why this is goin so cheap, must be the dents!
Got to buy it at that price payed 3200 for mine and i thought that was a good price, great to drive mainly cos u dont see many.. oooh the looks and that sound. P.s if u break it can i have ya fog..
Who bought it then ?? I was offered a Black VR corrado today when I went to buy paint for my MK1 But it aint that one. But is black and paint aint 100%
I bought it! All mine! And when i receieve TT's deposit, about 10% is his until collection day of the car without the engine! lol
