Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 20, 2007 i just wondered..................... (sorry this isn't very relevant to your thread) But, when did the charger go on? (mileage) and do you have to do much work to the rest of engine when fitting it? rebuild etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted March 20, 2007 cat - d and high mileage, it would prob be better off buying a low mileage c, and do a complete transplant to get the highest value, and break the rest of this one. BUT, on ebay anything is possible, and theres a vr with cream leather at 6000 at the moment, so possibly 4k upwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted March 20, 2007 it went on last year. It had done 8k i think when I got it. Nope, my engine is totally standard until its recent garage vist where it is having the head gasket replaced and the chain tensioner. My engine is a very strong one though :) Just depends what state your engine is in really at the time you fit it. If mine wasnt as strong as it is/was I wouldnt have put the charger on. Having said that I knew the gasket was slowly going, the charger just made it go a bit quicker. But I didnt want to wait for it to completley go bang before I fixed it.

Was there apoint in your statement pointing out the obvious ? 4k? really? hmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Well you asked, its just my oppinion, the spec of ur car is excellent, other than those 2 points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT, on ebay anything is possible, and theres a vr with cream leather at 6000 at the moment, so possibly 4k upwards. A Low mileage corrado does not necessarily mean its in better condition than mine. Depends on how the owners have treated it. Id prefer to buy a higher mileage one with full history and know the owner treated it right than a low mileage one with none yeh I know I asked. Thats just my opinion on buying a car.4k up is a good price. Anyone else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khurrado 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Ofcourse, but then again id prefer to buy a low mileage one with fsh. And pref with no accident damage, repaired or not. To an enthusiast, i doubt it will make a huge difference, after all its the spec they would be looking for, and im sure yours will get a hell of a lot of interest.

M15 VW 0 Posted March 20, 2007 g-man, no, I just wanted to know what people would pay for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JIMMI 0 Posted March 20, 2007 In my opinion the cat D side of it means very little to me neither does the mileage, to be honest when your goin to buy a car your buying the piece of metal in front of you not the records on HPI's computer or the numbers on a digital speedo, I always buy things on face value even service history means nothing as its so easy to forge !!!!! Just my 2 pence worth Jimmi............ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M15 VW 0 Posted March 20, 2007 so what would you expect to see it advertised for? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peanut 0 Posted March 20, 2007 hmmm...not liking where this thread is going.... you forgot the pulled arches, samcos, SFS hoses, remote central locking with the alarm. Prob a load of other things not mentioned but cant think of them at present. Gav Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Don't even think about it, Nikki! Very difficult to put a price on it really- £5K? No matter what anyone says, Cat D defo puts people off, although anyone who really knows the car would probably pay good money for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not selling up I just wanted to know how much people would buy it for. By the way CazzaVR the head and chains were checked today.....they are still going strong and are spot on. They are originals! :) Just thought you may want to know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
