Jim 2 Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah - thought that sounded a good buy for someone! Get it bought and freshen it up, someone :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 9, 2015 Noticed that for sale at the beginning of the week and thought it seemed a good purchase. Could be worth something in a few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted January 9, 2015 It's reassuring to see a LOT of comments from folks expecting that to be a lot more expensive. Gives me some reassurances on values for our own cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 9, 2015 I see Mr Cheesewire has stepped in to give some un-sugar coated appraisals of someones opinions :) lol :) People who regurgitate what they've read on the internet - incorrectly - need to be corrected :D Bore wash indeed. Modern TSI / TFSI engines bore wash a lot more than Corrados ever did :D Plus that whole "It's a massive engine so MUST be massively powerful be default" ignorance ****es me off as well.

Portent 0 Posted January 9, 2015 I had two of these great cars my last vr6 L61 PWE are you out there . Really regretted selling mine so much so recently brought a cayman s as it's the closest modern car that makes me feel like the corrado did . Shed of the year for me :-))* Looks at garage...

Hairyarse 10 Posted January 9, 2015 I hadn't realised it hit PH until earlier this afternoon. I emailed the seller very soon after it went up as wanted it for myself (my valver is great, but it's lacking two cylinders! lol) The seller was really decent and gave me a lot of info. It will need a clutch and timing chains, possibly brakes but he's not sure. The spoiler doesn't retract on one side all the time and the sunroof switch is missing. With the one owner history, if it's been serviced regular it could end up a nice car but I can't justify the time on it, so have graciously stepped back! lol Someone could have a nice car though if they're willing to put the time and money in to it. I'd rather pay the extra for one that has had that work done, but you never know if it's a genuine bargain until you ask! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted January 10, 2015 10 pence millionaires, paranoia over a door handle on a £1K 20+ year old car FFS It's a real problem for people running a car on a budget..! but why the heck would they buy a VR6 if they're running a car on a budget?! FWIW calculated through retail price inflation since it was released even the newest VR6 on the road would have cost nearly 40 grand in current terms if it were being sold today. That's a lot of car, and that means when it gets old parts are expensive.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 23 Posted January 15, 2015 So after all that waffle on pistonheads the car remains unsold and the seller is now dreaming of a big payday and will consider offers over £1K...... Oh well, at least the low prices keep the cars in the hands of enthusiasts rather than speculators Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
