samm_cvr6 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Looks very nice, what Corrado you got? maybe the golfs worth abuot £1k? Lovely scenery too! where was the pic taken? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 9, 2005 looks tidy, but they dont fetch much, £1500? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris g 0 Posted September 9, 2005 This is my car http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29490 I would be taking the coilovers and Borbets off though, and he wants to take the polished estorils off his. The pic was taken somewhere in wales I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 9, 2005 i'd say his car plus a grand... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcrado 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Mk2's re weird. they don't seem to conform to a set price range. Look in your local autotrader and you'll see big bumper ones in the bargain cars section for £800-odd. Look in the sports section and you'll see very similar ones for anywhere up to £2000. I saw a H-plater and a J-plater in the same autotrader not too long ago, both had done around 100k, both good condition, both black. The H-plater was up for £895 and the J-plater was up for £2500. I shit you not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 9, 2005 well, if you want £2300 for yours, and his is worth a generous £1000 (looking at autotrader for average prices) it works out about right if he gives you his car and a grand, in fact he gets a pretty good deal!

chris g 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Hmm yeah, i see where your coming from. He seems to think his is worth about 2k for some reason. Not sure where he gets that idea from though. I know he's not going to want to part with any cash so might have to scrap this idea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted September 9, 2005 2K, is he on drugs? LOL, he can have my VR and swap with me if he gives me 2k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bix 0 Posted September 9, 2005 With petrol prices going up the way that they are i've got to a point where I don't think I can afford to run it anymore. I'm currently putting around £60+ a week in petrol alone! I would really prefer to do a straight swap for something a bit more economical but would consider selling for around £2300. I seriously doubt a mk2 8v gti is much more efficient, if any! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris g 0 Posted September 9, 2005 I know, i know I just fancy a mk2 for some reason though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted September 9, 2005 My VR is more efficient then my old mk2 8v GTI! and probably by about 5mpg on a run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris g 0 Posted September 9, 2005 Are they really that bed? is the Golf GTI 16v any better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samm_cvr6 0 Posted September 9, 2005 well they certainly ain't that good! not as long geared as a VR, not sure the 16v would be that much better, very little in it depending on how you drove it of course. Don't let that put you off tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris g 0 Posted September 9, 2005 How about a mk2 VR6? any ideas what they're like on fuel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
