herisites 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Hi everyone, I was supposed to be going to look at a corrado vr6 on saturday ... however i have changed my plans and am going to see it TODAY!!! So hopefully if its all good i will be a corrado owner tonight!! I have printed off the buyers guide and have searched and searched on things to check and common faults etc etc so i know what i am looking for, plus i am taking a mate who is pretty shat hot with cars so between us we should pick a good one!! I CANT WAIT!! I will get some pics up as soon as i get it home (if i get it that is but im pretty sure i will :lol:) Rob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted August 17, 2006 good luck Rob, which one you going to look at today?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Cheers mate! I'm going to look at the blackberry one in the trader. The guy has owned a few corrados and loves them, he couldnt praise it enough and it looks the nuts :D i contacted volkscars about the blackberry one they had and they wont negotiate on price with it so its already £500 more than the one in trader and it has NO tax and has done more miles!

blackcat 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Good Luck!! If I can give you a bit of advice....don't get over excited and buy it just because you really want a corrado!! When I bought my first valver, the bloke bought it round to my house and I was so excited about the prospect of owning a corrado that I didn't really look at it properly and think it through, I just gave him the money. So, I ended up paying far too much for a car that needed a complete respray. I sold it 6 months later for £600 less :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks Ryan, it will look much better when im finished with it :D i am going to leave it standard for a while though to get used to it then start to add things. I am going to add essentials straight away though like Lupo wipers and uprated healight loom! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herisites 0 Posted August 17, 2006 First things on the list mate, after all we live in britain so good wipers are essential and i drive a lot at night so i want good headlights!! I understand that the loom is easy to fit, is this correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
