Corrado vr6 aqua blue £4200

[thamouse1981 0]

So I originally purchased this 1.5 years ago with a view to keep it as an investment car hoping values would increase. Unfortunately not having storage and a young son taking up all my free time means it is no longer an option for me and it's now going for sale. The details:

New clutch 2014

There is loads more work with receipts dating back to 2000

 

So now I will tell you the known bad points:

 

Top of the windscreen drivers side has a 2 x 1 inch sections of bubbled rust just coming through.

 

Seems to be some abs chatter when stopping at low speed and pedal pressure brakes work fine just appears to activate abs at less than 5 mph I suspect the n/s reluctor wheel/hub. Car was stood for 3 months prior to last week when I drove it put an abs light on that went away post ignition cycle and hasn't returned hence passing the mot today

 

Grey cloth is in good condition bar drivers side upper and lower bolster worn through

 

Tracking is a little off but not much the front wheels are cambered aggressively in, I like the look but may not be everyone's taste

 

Slight vibration at speed through steering wheel maybe weights fallen off a wheel

 

Ultimately I want it gone but would like for it to go to some who will drive it, it doesn't deserve to be sat doing nothing like It has for 18 months. Price drop to 3800

All of them if possible so I can blow them up. I'm very interested but you're a bit far. The rust spot pics as well would be good. Thanks

Hi,

I am in the market for a good VR6 and am very interested in your Corrado. I live in Bristol which isn't too far from yourself and would be interested in seeing it but I have a few questions:

 

1. The rust marks on the sills: You haven't mentioned this on the bad points but is on the photos. Is this just surface rust or are they rotten?

2. Tracking: I assume this can be adjusted back to normal settings with just a trip to kwik fit etc?

3. 29k engine: Does it run and drive as you'd expect a engine with that little mileage to do?

4. Bodywise, aside from the rust spots is this in excellent condition? Can you tell it has been sprayed?

5. ABS: Do you think this is just a sensor issue?

 

From the photos it looks fairly standard, does it look that way despite the koni suspension etc? ie. is it lowered etc, and if so would it be easy to put back to normal?

 

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi sorry about the delay in the reply, I haven't looked at the forum for a couple of days, there are two rust spots on the car on the sills each about 4cm long these look like they have been previously treated but not painted. The MOT man said they were solid enough so didn't put it as an advisory, when the car was Resprayed I assumed they would include it as well but because I didn't point it out they didn't see it...Apparently! They then quoted 150 + vat to get that done as well which I just didn't. It's not so much tracking but the camber on the front wheels 4 wheel alignment would correct it. The engine drives and sounds superbly and is the main reason I bought the car. Bodywork wise in a normal look the car look immaculate if you look closer on the front bumper the finish is slightly orange peely. I think the ABS is a front hub reluctor wheel issue but it doesn't really affect the drive or brake operation hence why I haven't fixed it. It looks fairly standard but would be too easy to return to standard due to the brakes not allowing speedline alloy wheels due to size. Please contact for any more info.

Many thanks

Hi. Thanks for your reply to my questions. I am interested in the car and would be able to come see it next Thurs (24/11) if that was possible as I am near the area. Would you be in around lunchtime (thats if you haven't sold the car by then!)?

If so I have a few other questions:

1. Does the car have current insurance/tax for a test drive? (My insurance policy allows me to drive any car as long as it is insured)

2. Is the car ready to be driven away that day?

 

Many thanks,

Tim.
