well thanks for that, yeah Tony Tiger i just want to own a nice looking Corrado whether its a G60 or a 16V, im not too fussed. It was just this particular car came up for sale 5 miles from me and got me thinking G60 it is! Going to look at the car this weekend, so will see whats what. thanks for everyones input, much appreciated!!

Thanks for that mate, most helpful! I must say, i am having a few niggling doubts now about the supercharger/maintenance costs, that coupled with the fuel costs. As i know from having my vw's, there the kind of car you have so much fun driving you end blowing a fortune on fuel, being a bit right foot heavy and all and surely surely my 15 minute drives to work would start to be 10 minute drives and my fuel bill will be £40 ones instead of £25! Can i just ask jay2, roughly what have you forked out over the last year on essential maintenance cost for the G60? Thats if you dont mind me asking of course!

I do like the standard look of the G60 with the BBS alloys and ill not beat around the bush that i dont have a big amount of purchase money to splash! I think the VR6 may just be out of reach money wise, 16v ive been looking at too, its just this one has come up 5 miles from where i live(Edinburgh) although i have travelled all over Britain buying cars, went down to London for my mk2 golf! If you have details of the 16v pass them on. cheers

The supercharger needs done that often? I read on Parkers that it was every 60k? Does it have to be a specialist that sees to the supercharger and not your experienced well known mechanic mate!? Excuse my naivety on the chip front, what would this do to the car, increase the BHP? thanks for that.

Thanks for that TonyTiger, i have always wondered about my TDi and if i should be getting better fuel consumption out of it, although i guess about 100 of they miles are m'way and the rest about town, even at that though i have always thought it should be slightly better. Yeah wil defo be checking out the supercharger and it has an extensive history, so hopefully all good!

Yeah, it would be my only car. Cant say the TDi has been too kind on the purse strins either, spent about £800 in the last year maintaining it so why not spend it on a car ill enjoy more ay! :D

Hi there, newbie here and have to say there is some amazing cars on here! Ive been more of a Golf mk1 and 2 nut to date, owning two mint mk1s, a clipper and a sportline and also a mk2 golf gti which was the business. Had to sell it about a year ago due to buying my first house and invested in an Audi A4 Tdi for obvious reasons. Now after a settling in period, my head has been turned again to maybe buying a Corrado G60 that has come up for sale! As cars go early VWs have always been my passion, except for a wee blip when i went and bought a scooby RB5(enjoyed every second of it) but the Corrado remains one of the cars i still need to to tick off my list! Anyways im just looking for a bit of advice and perhaps a little bit of convincing! The car ticks all the right boxes in the ad, it has full service history, looks in great condition, 12 months MOT, 6 months tax, its done 120k, j reg so would take it the supercharger has just been done. Am i right in saying that the G60 would get about 25MPG roughly? I drive mainly motorway miles to work and this is one of my main concerns thats maybe holding me back a bit from going for it. Obviously with the Tdi its cheap and cheerful, im spending about £20/week on 150 miles a week. Any ideas what id be looking at with the G60? Also what dyou think i should be paying for it? and will it cost me a lot to maintain? any help much appreciated! mushy
