Looking at a Corrado G60 at the Weekend

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeh thats right, after months of looking i may have sourced the right G60 for me :shock:

 

Its a 91 H plate, G60

160k miles, FSH

Pearl Gray---->Very rare

BBS alloys,

Totally standard, no bullshit,

 

And all for a very tidy sum, any tips on what I should be looking for specifically?

 

Cheers guys :wink:

rust :wink:

 

after almost a year of owning my C, rust is starting to come through in various places all over the car... looks like it was resprayed a short time before I bought it, because when I went to look at it the bodywork was immaculate :roll: not quite sure how this helps you as its pretty difficult to know how bad rust is when you go to view a car... I just wanted to rant :)

I can only state the usual/obvious:

- is it stolen? HPI

- genuine miles?, seat sagging at 160k?

- expensive parts to replace worn out?

- all electrics work? sunroof, auto-spoiler, etc

- looks straight? ... check all door/bonnet lines are parallel & flush.

- check inner wings in engine bay & boot for possible crash.

- noisy engine?

- FSH; all parts changed when supposed to?

- blue smoke from exhaust?

- tracking, pulls on acceleration or bracking?

- KNOCKING; go slowly, put onto full lock, does it 'clunk'? £

 

Towards the point of buying, to lower the price if following is worn:

- Alarm faulty?

- exhaust... [(92 onwards?) especially the CAT]

- Locking wheel nut adaptor present?

- spare wheel+tyre present?

- cracked headlights are costly

- use of genuine parts, eg oil filter, if not probably used cheap oil too?

- speedo seems ok upto 70?

- brakes & discs worn? ... wheel hub got play? ... etc , etc

- a smattering of oil on engine is ok, a pool is not.

You can test the boost on the MFA. use the search for "Hidden AND MFA" and you should find out how to do it... 8)
