diarmaid16 1 Posted August 31, 2010 Well all, Im leaving Ireland in October to live in Glasgow. I sold my 16v a year ago and I've missed it badly ever since. I hope to buy one when I move over if money allows! I was just wondering what kind of tax I would be paying on a 2.0 litre and who would be the best company to try to get insured with? Also if anyone knows of any work going at any engineering companies around Glasgow. I'm a graduate mechanical engineer and my head is done in dealing with recruitment agencies! Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moneypit23 0 Posted August 31, 2010 I'm sure the tax on my 16v was the same as the VR so you may as well buy one of those. Start the insurance nightmare once you have a postcode, i couldn't get quotes without one when i moved to a new area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domwells27 0 Posted August 31, 2010 Cost of tax for a year will be £205 for 12 months. Insurance is too hard to guess. Depends on age, experience, NCB etc. Best bet is to try the search engines, but not all the companies are listed on them, so ring around for more quotes. Check out the insurance section of the forum for affiliated insurers that do discounts for corrado members. Personally I've found admiral to be very good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diarmaid16 1 Posted September 1, 2010 Cheers lad. It can't be any worse than here anyway. My contract at work is up at the end of September so I might as well head. I'm engaged to a girl over there so I had to go at some stage! Just hope I can get a decent job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 7, 2011 Well, really landed on my feet over here. Was out of work for two weeks but managed to get a job that I really enjoy in Dumfries. Never even heard of the place! Anyway, will hopefully have another C under me soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 7, 2011 Great news :) Keep us posted with progress on the car front! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted February 7, 2011 Cheers Jim. Have been looking at a G60 that needs engine work but trying to sell a car at the moment. Plus I'm not that knowledgeable on them. Good luck with selling the car. Looks like its been well cared for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sprinterVR6 0 Posted February 8, 2011 fair play mate - happy for you. Now get that car situation sorted!! Personally, I'd throw your net open and check out other makes/models. Audi S2? or S3 maybe. Keep us up to date though Laters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted July 27, 2011 Well I bought a cheap 2 litre 16v as a project without having a proper look at it. It turned out to need a lot more work than I thought and ended up breaking it. Getting married next week but have arranged to look at a white vr6 after the honeymoon so we'll see what happens! I'm worried about running one as a daily but life's too short I suppose! I need to be in a corrado badly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
