Hi am new here, after some speedy advice

[Jim Bowen 1]

Hello people

 

this has all happened a bit quick, but wanted a Corrado VR6, found a 50,000mile one for sale locally, and its a Storm version too.

 

just need to know what to look out for when viewing it (might be going today), is there any questions i should ask, heard something about a "lube service" around that mileage???

 

do they use a cam belt or chain? when should that get changed?

 

just any advice really ta

there used to be a sort of 'buyers guide' thread stickied in one of the forums but i cant find it... anyway, in answer to one of your questions they use chains, and the general opinion is that at around 100k you'll need to be checking and probably replacing the guides and tensioners which is a fairly major job. if the cars been looked after they can last longer though. at 50k you shouldnt really have any worries.

 

make sure its a genuine storm too, theres some posts about how to identify a genuine one around somewhere...best be is to use the search!

 

good luck!

Quick Storm identifiers:-

 

Storm badge on rear

Storm badge on gear lever surround

Colour coded front grill

Should be Mystic Blue with Graphite leather or Classic Green with cream leather

50mm front spoiler

15" BBS Solitude 6 spoke alloys

[Jim Bowen 1]

its a deep purple colour, has cd changer and black leather interior

 

has the 6-spoke rims

And what about the rest of the list?

Sounds like Mystic Blue. Worth checking the paint code in the front of the service book, sticker on the boot floor and inner front wing to be sure though.

 

Lists of the codes are in the buying guide.

This looks suspiciously like the Storm that HE-MAN bagged and then tried to sell on at £8,500 the other week.

 

There can't be that many 50k mile blue Storms advertised for £5.5k - are you sure it's still for sale?

[Jim Bowen 1]

not 100% sure, have gotta phone on lunch break, i would be surpised if its still there, was in Hertfordshire, 01279 phone no.

Hey corradowales - were you in Central Bar, Cardiff on Saturday night?

[Walesy 0]

id rather eat my own s*&t mate.....not into the town thing on the weekends....its a bit too much like a zoo for me!!...

 

some poor b*&***rd that looks like me was it?

[Jim Bowen 1]

just rang, and its sold, sold on first day of advertising. i thought i would be lucky if its still there, could well be this one HE-MAN is selling.

 

have two more to choose from now....lol

 

a 58,000 one, and another with 89,000

 

£8,500 is a bit much i think

[Walesy 0]
