Son of a Beesting

All you guys with brillant VR6 corrados saying you are looking at newer cars and here I am spending months looking for one!! :| Dont do, you WILL get Corrado withdrawl and just end up buying another one :lol:

Why cant I find these deals :roll:

Agreed, my mate did this and has just gone his own insurance this year and is paying well over £1300 for a standard MR2 in a decent area. He is 24 years old. I always did my insurance and now even on performance modifyed cars in a bad area I pay no more £700 fully comp.

Can you let me know the details please I could be interested! Oh and well done on the purchase, sounds like a grea car 8)

like me :D :D

Merc SL I think

Rpmayne, Sell me your VR and try the Subaru!! :mrgreen:

I never had a subaru but I sold my Corrado to get a jap car and I sold it within a year and I am looking at a Corrado again. Its all down to personal taste though but I know which I would have!

They are not that cheap to keep going! The third cylibder is very weak and it requires a rebuild (or at least major attention) every 7-10 thousand miles apparently. I wouldnt do it, they are cheap prospect though!

Yeah that is what my head is telling me. Shame cause it looked like a nice car (from the outside) My search will continue...

yeah I know its a corrado :-P He seems pretty geniune, it was the people before that seem to have put the wrong sprocket in. Although to do that seems a strange thing to do. I am sure the car has more history to it. I am not sure what to do :roll: I am just not up on the vr6 engine, if it was a g60 I would be fine!

I thought it was strange as well. But this is what they guy told me. I only spoken to him once and havent seen the car next. Just wondered if it was worth the trek to go and see it!

Cam I believe

I didnt do this but I am looking at buying one that has this done. It is changed for the correct item now and is apparently fine. Is there something I should be looking at that coudl have been damaged by this. The car has done about 110, 000 miles. I guess a chains/tensioners will need doing soon. Why would people change the valve stem oil seals as well? Is this a sign the car has had somewhat of a problem past? Thanks

Congratulations mate I will be buying it!

Yeah I think its his, he has a link to it on ebay bit of the forum

Hello mate can you PM a price you are after for the car please :D

Yeah £8000 is too much!

My old car!!!! (pre Josh :-P ) I loved that car, take special care of her, I was just discussing how much I loved this car with my fiance! :D

problem with a converted MK2 is that you never know quite how well the conversion was done and what condition the engine was in. You could be putting yourself up for big bills!

http://www.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/c ... =86&tlid=3 Check them out, a true drivers car!!

Hello mate Thanks, I remember you telling me about the golf you had. The thing is I dont know if I will be able to afford the westy once I am married but I dont want rule it out just yet! it would be a dream to have a corrado vr6 and a westy!

Oh could be very interested! PM me some details please mate! Just the running costs that worry me.... :wink:

HAHAHAHA, have you met her! She is spanish and cant see why I would want to get a convertiable car in this country! I am trying to put it in a romantic light but she is not convinced YET. But she has taste, she loved my last corrado, she even cried a little bit when I sold it!

Hi Before anyone shoots me down for asking if I should get another rado or a golf let me explain. I used to have a G60 corrado and I loved it to bits. I sold it to get a Nissan 200 sx. Its a good car but doesnt do it for me anymore. I am getting married in May and I am looking to fulfil a dream of mine.... to buy a westfield. 8) :twisted: I am putting the Nissan up for sale this weekend so I need to get another car soon. I was orignially thinking of getting a corrado vr6 but i think this might eat to much of the 'westfield' money up. So I looked at a golf vr6 as they are pretty cheap. What are peoples views of these cars? How about a 2l 16v Corrado. Which car do you think will be cheaper to run? Or should I just say the westfield probably aint going to happen and get a really nice vr6 corrado?? :wink: Opnions gratefully recieved. Rich
