All Thanks for your advice. maureenr, Keep me posted on yours it sounds good; I would be v.interested, particularly as you are local. What kind of price were you thinking?

Found on Autotrader: Is this reasonable? 1994 L Reg VOLKSWAGEN Corrado 2.9 VR6 Manual 5 speed, 120,000 miles, Metallic Grey, 3 Owners. . 16" light alloy wheels, airconditioning, Body Coloured Bumpers, central doorlocks with remote control, excellent all round, Front Fog Lights, full main agent service history, new mot and serv included, power steering, ABS, Computer, Electric mirrors, Electric windows, Electric sunroof, Heated seats, Immobiliser. full beige leather £4,995. Trader near Hemel, St Albans, Welwyn... http://www.countrycarsales.co.uk Reg L910KXV - Does anyone know this car, was anyone the previous owner? Mileage strikes me a little high, but if it's got full history and has had the important things done... You're probably going to rebuke me for picking ones with AC... but once you've sat in a tailback on the M3 in the middle of summer you're converted for ever.... someone registered on here has informed me that AC was only ever a dealer fit accessories. Can anyone else confirm this? I do respect people's opinions on here, so any thoughts welcomed.

What do you think the odds of finding a low-miler with AC and Leather? Am I living in a dream world?

Thanks guys, appreciated. I'm going to read the buyers guide now. The £5k mark looks more likely, but as you said should still be good for that, I'd rather spend more now than later! I've noticed that prices fluctuate and i would ideally (maybe too ideal) want around 60,000miles. I look forward to joining the elite clan of Corrado owners. Weird question; do Corrado owners 'wave' to each other? I used to have a 1990 Mini Cooper (fun!) and all real Mini owners wave/flash each other... it's kinda nice!

(Mods - sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, please move if needed) Evening Gents (and ladies if there are any!), I'm probably going to get a biased opinion when i ask 'should i buy a Corrado VR6...?' I hope to have sold my 99/T Vectra SRi 140 by the end of the month (Jan '06)and I seem to have convinced myself the Corrado VR6 is the way forward. I think the Corrado is a intelligent drivers' car, a VW badge reflects class and the VR6 is a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing As i'm new to Corrado ownership, i'd really appreciate any buying advice - what to look for? - what to pay? - what's worth paying extra for? - what are typical problems? - are high milers ok? - how important is a VAG service history? - what's so special about the Storm? I'd also be interested to hear of any unmolested low mileage late-model VR6s in the South Central area. Please post details here or direct us to another site as I would like the opinion of any c-nut as the whether it's a good buy. Would £5k - £6k get me a decent one? I have the cash saved so i don't necessarily have to wait until the Vectra's sold. Cheers guys, I appreciate any advice.
