vr6storm 0 Posted June 18, 2004 I had to buy some 2.4m length timber the other day and it fit nicely into the C. Now I couldn't have done that with a boxster Just for a moment there I had visions that you were turning your C into the "clubman" model.. :D "into".. not "onto" ... :)[/quote:6d69a] don't you mean traveller?? :wink: ......clubman's were normally associated with Mini 1275GT's whereas the traveller was the Minor Estate with all the lovely wood on the rear :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 18, 2004 I had to buy some 2.4m length timber the other day and it fit nicely into the C. Really? Now that's good to know because I'm building some fences next weekend and was wondering how the heck I'd get the 6 foot fence posts in/on the car! Now I couldn't have done that with a boxster And you wouldn't want to either because you'd look a berk! K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted June 18, 2004 Well I have just spent 12 hours over 3 days polishing the VR - she looks mint indeed. A bit over obsessive perhaps but I took my time and removed a few scratches that I seem to have got from other people :mad: and put lots of carnuba wax on to make the paint smooth as silk.... all I really need to make the paint mint is the front bumper and the under headlight panel repainting to remove stone chips done. Will be done shortly. Let the missus take her out to the Gym and has she backed out of drive and away I noticed a trail of fuel on the floor.... I swear she knows I am thinking of selling her and I have upset her feelings (the VR this is) :oops: but even then as she drove awayI couldnt help admiring those looks (again the VR) and having second thoughts.... :oops: The VR will have the cylinder head / tensioners / etc all done before I even think of selling - but what sort of money do you think she is worth? And for a laugh what do you think the Audi dealer will offer me in trade in :roll: Cheers Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 18, 2004 I wouldn't bother with the head/chains if your selling it, and I certainly would trade it in unless the dealer gives you an exceptionally good deal. But bear in mind the Audi dealer will laugh at you for giving them a Corrado in exchange for an A3 1.8T! As for value, £4 - £5K privately, 3K max trade-in.

Scott 0 Posted June 18, 2004 LOL £3k trade in ... :lol: £4 - 5k is better than I thought IMAHO.... :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6corrado 0 Posted June 18, 2004 Seanovr was offered less than that as trade in but it was only a speculative enquiry and his vr is in very good nick. I wouldn't even consider trading it in - sell it privately if you really want to change cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted June 19, 2004 C'mon then.. probably something ridiculously under book value... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 19, 2004 About the trade in price or what Audi you've bought? Hopefully not the latter but did they offer you a stunning £1800 trade-in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbybrown 0 Posted June 19, 2004 some of these car salesmen do have steel balls probably because the amount of time they have been kicked there by offering less than fair tradeins the sods at least Dick turpin wore a mask :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted June 19, 2004 Bit of both really....£2700 trade-in.... And the Audi is shite!!!! :lol: :lol: and so is the customer service I might add!!! I turned up in my VR all shiny with alot of people staring at it as I turned up... good start or so I thought.... not so - the salesman was a arrogant twerp who was constantly asking how I wanted to finance purchase - I told him cash in the end - That shut him up. He then wouldnt let me test drive an old shape A3 as he thought I should try the new shape... although I had told him several times I dont like the new shape.... and although I stressed performance and handling was important he still reckonned I was better off with a diesel.... this is probably due to me mentioning that I do 40k miles per year!!!!... By now - I had seen several Audi A3 / S3 and decided that they werent for me... so I walked and got back into my VR6 and blasted off down the road :) If thats main dealers in general then they wont be seeing my money. :mad: So for now the VR6 is staying......

Jim 2 Posted June 19, 2004 Ouch. I got more for that on trade in on my 2.0 16v!! And that was about 18 months ago, before Corrado prices started to get a little more promising! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but that was a trade in on a brand new paxo? - therefore they were paying you to take the paxo away :-P :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 20, 2004 Nope.. Saxo was 2 years old! And I still won't have a bad word said against it.. was a great little motor, so shut it ;) :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted June 20, 2004 :lol: :lol: :lol: I looked up trade price in various guides and seems the figure is about right. Even the salesman said its a collectable car therefore I should sell it privately :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
