Walesy 0 Posted January 3, 2008 With the limited info given, i'd say that £1k is probebly a fair amount. As for swapping a 16v for a VR6 - I doubt you'd regret it tbh :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashun 0 Posted January 3, 2008 I seen a few for 1500 . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted January 3, 2008 I've seen some houses selling for £3.67 million but that doesn't make my house worth the same... :) No-one here will be able to tell you how much your car is worth mate, especially when all we know about it is that its got a fsh and 4 new tyres. Valvers are currently selling from as little as a couple of hundred quid for ones needing alot of work, to £3000 for an absolute mint example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlgarveVR6 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Hi and happy new year from over here. No brainer really. VR6 every time. I have a 2.0l 16v and a VR6. Know which I would be driving. A good Corrado sold with the right advert will sell well. A shitte advert and you'll get peanuts. I reckon if its a good un, 1500 is acheivable. Good luck Dic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted January 3, 2008 That's exactly what I did - and I have loved every second - well except the numerous ones spent at petrol stations filling up! You'll get used to that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted January 3, 2008 have to agree with the above comments, VR6 everytime, im enjoying my VR6 so much at the moment im thinking of dumping the 2.016vG60 and going with an R32 turbo, cant beat the sound of 6 cylinders! especially above 3000RPM, just a pity that its it those revs that it hits your wallet! mind you, 16vs arent good on petrol, but hats another debate..... GET THE VR!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
too hot 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Ashun Mate where are you? Can you tell me the paint code on the car? Some better pics and a better description would help. But looking at it i would give you £1k for it if its the right colour. Got a contact no.you can P/m me ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Whilst you say you would sell the 16V and get a VR6 you also state you drive 60 miles to work every day, so if you were to use the VR6 as your daily driver and do 60 miles to work every day, I'd say your fuel bill was going to increase somewhat mate ? But if this is not a consideration or important then I'd say go for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60SC_Stoney 0 Posted January 3, 2008 from what ive read about some 16vs on here, they are even less economical than the vr6s, once my VR6 is warmed up i get between 28-31mpg, even if i give her some beans, whereas some valvers seem to struggle to get 25MPG...

I usually get about 32mpg in my VR6 now but got more than that in my valver. That was biggest thing I noticed after noise and power was how thirsty the VR was. In my early days of VR ownership though I booted it constantly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted January 3, 2008 25MPG... I keep dreaming of those high returns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah, depending on how you drive you can get more MPG from a VR6 easily Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if this is not a consideration or important then I'd say go for it. Yes thats my thinking , not sure i can stump up the money for 60 miles a day, some say vr6 is more eco if you don't boot it but i do this and a vr6 would use more fuel. 25MPG... I keep dreaming of those high returns what do you have junky? g60? I am not too good at writing adds can't think what to put in it some stuff will go on my vr6, if i get one , might just keep the old girl fix her up some more , the dam sunroof needs looking at :shock: Ash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbybrown 0 Posted January 9, 2008 from what ive read about some 16vs on here, they are even less economical than the vr6s, once my VR6 is warmed up i get between 28-31mpg, even if i give her some beans, whereas some valvers seem to struggle to get 25MPG... I dont know whats wrong with the wifes valver then........ She get Mid thirties round town and its even better on a run So unless your getting 35 round town and 40 on a run I would say a valver is More economic if you stay of the juice and drive it tidily :D Im not even on about driving i miss Daisy either,Im shocked its so good.

Frosty Phantom 0 Posted January 9, 2008 The valver engines are fine on fuel unless you give them a good thrashing and then it guzzles a fair amount. I get 35 out of mine when i'm driving normally. Thankfully I have the VVC metro to take some grunt out on :D No I haven't needed a gasket yet thanks for asking lol. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
