herisites 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Hi, I am looking to buy a corrado vr6 very soon. I have looked on ebay, autotrader and pistonheads and there are some available. Does anyone know anymore places i could look on that people would advertise on? Thanks. Rob H. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 0 Posted June 16, 2006 http://www.the-corrado.net - try here, always a few good qulaity examples... How many do you want to look at? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 16, 2006 Yeah - realistically here, and the sites you've already mentioned are going to be your best bet. Here its kinda odd and sales tend to come in waves.. best thing is just sit on your cash, keep watching the sites, and wait for the right one to come up! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Local papers. That is where you will get the real bargains, someone who has no idea what they have :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 16, 2006 Heh.. yeah.. the like 1995 Corrado 8v I spotted in a local rag for £1000 about a month ago - by the time i'd called it had already gone as you can imagine :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NottsCounty 0 Posted June 16, 2006 As Jay said above - there are some absolute steals in local papers with people not realising what they could get for them. Just last week there was a 94 Blackberry VR6 with 99k and fsh, described as 'immaculate' for £2200 ono in our local paper!!!!!!! I gave them a call but guess what...... It had already been sold :( Probably turn up on here in a few weeks time...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted June 17, 2006 Have you seen the prices mate? Have you seen this one in the For sale section? - looks like a damn good buy to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanA 0 Posted June 17, 2006 Blimey, those are expensive cars! Oak green is great colour, but 5 grand for a 16v mk2 golf! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted June 17, 2006 Have you seen the prices mate? Have you seen this one in the For sale section? - looks like a damn good buy to me. Yeah i had looked at that one and it does sound a cracking buy. Only thing is though (and you probably think im being stupid) but i dont want a silver one. I dont want to buy the first one that comes along at the right price i would rather wait for the one i want. I didnt think the prices were too bad compared to those on autotrader/pistonheads etc and plus as its from a garage it would come with fresh tax/mot and warranty so it would be worth it i think. One on there has only done 98k, got fsh and has had a lady owner for past 10 years!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted June 17, 2006 DanA, you selling your car by any chance mate :D lol looks lush i love the blackberry colour! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bit that really made me look was the description of 'immaculate' I've always liked the Blackberry ones as well :) Herisites - you could buy your corrado from volkscars..... but then you'd only have one arm and one leg left to drive it with!!!

DanA 0 Posted June 17, 2006 Thanks Herisites, it is a great colour! I do keep thinking about selling up, as we have a baby due in August. I just can't bring mayself to part with it though, i'd never find another like it! only has 64k on the clock, so going by Volkscars prices its worth about 8k :wink: Any ideas for corrado baby seats ? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crdo16v 0 Posted June 17, 2006 i would also look at autocar mag. as they are sometimes advertised there, price probably won't be cheap tho'. i would also check autotrader website daily & be prepared to travel quickly with cash to look at good prospects. no harm in lookin at a few in the meantime just to get an idea of what to look out for. also watercooled vw shows would be a good place to look.
