Furkz 0 Posted May 21, 2013 Can't believe it's been over 10 years since I bought my 1st Corrado. Still can't get them out of my head. There's serious unfinished business left. I'm looking for another one for a pure summer toy not a daily like the G60 was. Seen a couple but nothing really exciting. Finding a good one is hard now. Wonder if any of the old guys are still around. Say hi if you are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done for holding on Anyone know where my old car has gone by any chance?

I think your G60 went to scotland and was painted in frosted grey that the new M3 comes in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted May 22, 2013 Coullstar I saw that on Facebook. Must of been a whole ago? Didn't look anything like it did. I see some many cars around on the roads that look either standard or battered or ridiculous. I feel like I need to save one from the "corrado destroyers" ironically Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted May 22, 2013 Still here. Lets buy g60s and go to MIVW. :shrug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted May 23, 2013 'ey up Furkz! I'm still here, but am now Corrado-less for the first time in over 10 years... :( May think about getting one to do up at some point in the future though... ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted May 23, 2013 Last time you told me off you had a red valver :-) Hopefully we've all moved on a bit from tellings off and fallings out - that was a few years ago! Look forward to seeing what project you take on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furkz 0 Posted May 23, 2013 im an old man now Jim old and frail... anyways whats a good price these days for a sub 100k good condition Corrado 16v/G60? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 23, 2013 hiya bud, blimey, didnt think you would ever sell yours, with all the amount of work you did to it, was it worth it in the end? yeah, neither did I! :lol: I sold it in bits in the end over a period of time... I'd got married, bought a nice house and then we had a kid, so I ran out of time (and money!) to tinker with cars, so it had to go.... It was breaking my heart to see it start to rot away on my drive in bits... :( If I had the chance to go back and do it all again, there's very few things I'd change... it taught me a lot, gave me a lot of enjoyment, got me to meet a lot of interesting people and go to some interesting places, so deffo worth it all, and by selling it in bits, I didn't actually lose out that much financially! 8) If I can get the finances together, I'd love to get a nice, low mileage one (even if it's just a 1.8 16V) as a weekend toy, but that's probably a while off! I now drive what my missus refers to as my "little green tank..." :lol: 2002 Audi A6 Avant, with a 305bhp 4.2V8, quattro and LPG conversion! Audi reliability, superb handling, lots of GO! and enough room for everything including kitchen sinks! :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sub 100k G60's are not especially common now mate... in fact G60's in general seem a lot less common these days. But assuming one came up I'd expect to budget about 3.5k-4.0k for a nice cherished one, and assuming you're thinking a 2.0 16v, then perhaps 2.5k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted May 24, 2013 yeah, I wrote off J-DUB, fought the insurance and won, bought it back, bought another G60 and swapped all the goodies into it... that's the one I've just sold on... In the meantime I had a B5 Passat estate TDI as my daily while the 'rado was off the road due to an engine problem that I never actually cured, and that caused me to start selling bits off...

Furkz 0 Posted May 26, 2013 Yeah that's the time I kinda stopped coming online baby ways off to see a Corrado tomorrow. See what happens. Unfortunately it's a VR6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
