Corrado VR6 hunting what do I need to look out for?

[TwoRounds 0]

Hi guys,

So coming Monday I may be a new corrado VR6 owner, I just wanted to get the full guide on what I need to look out for and what's the red flags to just walk away from it trying not to let my heart rule my head and what not.

Hard to tell anything about the car from those pictures as they are too small, but could be an ok car. Are there any pictures of the engine bay?

Personally I would prefer to buy a more or less standard unmodified car and do the upgrades myself, but if the lowering and steering wheel etc. are to your taste then it's fine. Note that for a broken sunroof (usually a snapped cable guide) the repair kit is nearly impossible to get hold of, so best options are to either not use the roof or swap in a working one from another car or even better one from a B3/B4 Passat.

Thanks for the link.

 

As far as I'm aware the only mods are the exhaust, steering wheel and the alloys will be swapped back to the speedlines.

 

The car is 150k mileage with a ton of paperwork
