CazzaVR 0 Posted November 27, 2011 Time of year Laura. It's not gonna make you feel any better, but when you bought it from me a few months ago, I could have sold it several times over. I'm sure it will sell, but you will prob have to drop your price at this time of year :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauraJ 0 Posted December 7, 2011 So since i've decided I need to sell the vehicle,a few 'niggles' have appeared! One was the oil pump, the car decided not to start when Ross took it to work, we thought it might be due to the vehicle not being used much (low battery) as I'm trying to keep the miles of it at the moment. I went to rescue him tried to jump start to no avail..... hmmmm called out recovery they didn't have an idea. So we got it recovered to our local friendly vw specialist in Basingstoke. He diagnosed that the one of the valves in the oil pump wasn't working, something he had seen on his own VR6, apparently these can get clogged up etc. So we got this changed with a genuine part, I was surprised that this was quite resonable on trade at approx £100+vat then fitting , all running as it should :) He then mentioned that although the alternator is charging, it wasn't quite charging enough. Que me bagging a favour from one of the techs at work on a saturday morning to fit a new alternator, we got him to fit some new exhaust rubbers aswell so this has resolved the exhaust knocking. I then had the tyre guy look at my tyres - two new front tyres being fitted tomorrow. He then got a small pot of paint made up to the paint code for me from our smart repair guy and touched up some minute paint chips. All in all its been a busy few months, on reflection given the extra bits and pieces that have been done I'm going to put the price back up. Whilst I do need to sell it, I have spent a fair chunk of money in the last 6 weeks on it and it doesn't seem right to give that away in reducing the price. I'm also convincing myself not to sell it lol! Anyway just a quick update :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauraJ 0 Posted May 8, 2012 So after a couple of aborted attempts at selling the corrado (do i actually want to sell it?!!) it has now been sold. :( Our plan of selling the cars to help towards the house purchase has gone a little too well i.e happened too quickly but we can't turn down buyers can we! So now off to buy a little banger for the meantime. Anyone know of anything? I will probably be back in a corrado in a couple of years. I'm sure i'll still hang around on the forum, it's my daily ritual to check the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted May 8, 2012 Sad to hear that you're now Corrado-less, Laura, but hope the house buying goes well and that you're able to buy another soon :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
