2 years ago I sold my 2.0 16v to a friend of a friend. It is a K plate with later wings/ grille / bonnet and early interior.
The car was immaculate and apart form the alloys refurbing, needed nothing.
Anyway, it turns out that about 3 months after I sold it, the chap got a company car so the corrado has just been sat on his drive for the best part of 2 years.
A couple of weeks ago I asked him if he would like to sell it to me - he said yes, £1500 and its yours. I said that sound s fine but can you take it for an MOT first to give me an idea of what needs doing.
He did this and obviously it failed on a number of things.
Rear calipers siezed
Rear brake pipes corroded
Hand brake inoperative
Brake bias valve inoperative
4 brake disks - excessive corrosion / pitting
wishbone bushes
4 tyres (tread ok but sidewalls cracked)
plus quite a few other things
general items requiring work include
spoiler keeps blowing fuse
2 cracked fogs
bit of laquer peel around rear side window
anyway - to cur a long story short, a bit of negotiating took place and tomorrow morning he will be delivering the corrado back to me so the work can begin.
All of the above are pretty easy to sort but from memory the wishbone bushes have to be pressed out/in - ant ideas how much this costs ??
thanks
