Stuck between a rock and a hard place

[Johnny H 0]

Hi all.

 

Right where to start.

 

I love my corrado but I love doing the hole VW thing with my family, but can't do it with the family in the C what with buggies, tents and cases etc.

 

So I'm thinking selling the corrado and family car and buy a T4/T5 camper then we can do it all. I can play with a dub and do the VW thing with the family.

 

I really don't know what to do.

 

Buying a camper and keeping the Corrado is not an option :(

 

Nightmare.

Could you sell the family?

Could you sell the family?

 

Yes but no one would buy then and I can't give them away :lol:

dude, sell up and do what needs doing. then in a few years come back home to 'rado joy. :)

Sounds like you need a Corramper van.

[Johnny H 0]

I think your right but I don't really know what mines worth, and they are still fairly cheap at the mo.

 

Do I cut my losses and get what I can or wait?

just don't let it sit not getting used... it hurts more in the long run!

 

Sell the 'rado, get something family friendly, then in a couple of years get yourself another 'rado.... it's what I'm kinda planning on doing.... ;)

What about a more practical VW? One of the fruitier engined Passat Estates maybe? They look fantastic lowered onto some RH ZW1s and being 5x112, you won't need to p1ss about with adapter plates :D

Get a T5! Get a T5!

 

You won't regret it for family duties and weekends away. Awesome, amazing versatile vehicles.

 

Go for it.

I would only sell the rado to get a camper.

I've already got an estate and that would go aswell and I would buy a cheap runner for me to go work and back.

Get a VR6 T4? Stick a quick camper conversion in the back and swap the gearbox for an 02m, it'll go like **** off a shovel ;)

Would a T5 be practical for the family day to day? i guess it will be a little big and awkways for some situations compared to the estate?

 

If you think it will work then I'd sell the corrado and go for it.

This. Bought a blue Passat b5.5 estate and love it, compfy, enough power and big enough for camping etc. Oh and reliable :lol: 2003 1.9 PD cost me 1700 and is in excellent condition - just something to think about. Ive barely used the corrado since getting it and will probably sell up.

 

Also, T4s and i can imagine T5s hold their price really well.

I agree with Chris. There will still be rados around in a few years so come back to them at a more convenient time

I'm already on there. Are you?

 

I'm finding it hard on there cause they are no way as good as you guys 👍

[Portent 0]

Shame to see you sell up. But the van looks great and I'm sure the family fun will make it worth it.

I'm asking £15000 for it so if it doesn't sell then I'll have to keep it :lol:

[Portent 0]

That's the spirit :D

Yep, I'm called T4&Corrado on there. Are you the same username as here?

 

£15,000 asking price for the C! Wowsers! Haha!

[Johnny H 0]

Yeah the same name. Can't forget it then :lol:

Told my wife if it doesn't sell for the asking price then we're keeping it. Funny thing is she doesn't know what I'm putting it up for.

Only joking, going up after mot and service.

 

I'll try and find you Matt
