corrado wannabe 10 Posted April 21, 2014 If you remember the Corrado I spotted at the classic car auction which sold for £2730, seems to have resurfaced on everyones favourite auction site: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-16V-/261449963168?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cdfa1d6a0 Shame it went to a trader and not an enthusiast.

Portent 0 Posted April 21, 2014 Well at least if a dealer thinks they can make a profit then It does prices may be firming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 21, 2014 Jesus! Nice to see prices are on the up but I thought the auction price really was top money... Tidy and original car but nothing special really... For that amount you'd want a car with low miles and perfect paint, no rust or signs of bodywork or windscreen replced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DPS 10 Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) I have a vague feeling they may go up in value in the near-future. I was recently rear-ended and my insurance company were going to write the car off dispite very little damage. They valued my car at £2000 based on a basic valuation by glasses. I argued with them and they revalued it at £4,500-£7,000 deciding that my low milage and 'good' condition placed it in the £6-7k bracket. I have a 94 VR6 flash red Automatic with 73k miles Now, I was just grateful they wanted to repair it, and personally I wouldn't place it in that value range myself. Although I did ask them what my chances of getting an identical car for £2,000 would be, considering there are only 70ish Autos in the UK, this could have effected their figure. But I can't help but wonder if people are starting to invest* in newer classic cars and this will inevitably put the value up sooner than originally thought. There was recently a feature on TV claiming that classic cars are set to increase in value faster than gold. I wouldn't place any great importance in it but it makes you wonder...:shrug: They featured an H reg BMW and an 80s rolls-Royce if I recall. *I'm not sure a Corrado is a good choice for "investment" Edit - just another thought: the scrapage scheme has lost our roads an awful lot of older cars, I wonder if this has had a knock on effect for some makes/models.

Kempy 0 Posted April 21, 2014 I can't see anyone buying a valver for that. No matter the mileage. I bet in person it's just same as mine lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joby 0 Posted April 27, 2014 I emailed the dealer asking him if he had got the asking price for the corrado, and he replied yes, and that it was a lovely car. maybe prices are on the up, and it was just a lowly valver too. ha ha, maybe ironically as there are not many valvers left they may now be worth more than VR`s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
