Keep at it though.. something will come along :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Tony 0 Posted September 11, 2004 you should be able to find one at that price with highish miliage auto trader maybe not the best place to find the car of your dreams (to quote autotrader) Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcus 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Keep at it mate, look at as many as u can, i looked for a month at 25+ corradoz(AND WANTED FOR 2 YEARS) and when u see THE ONE for u, u will know. try not to be too fussy. engine and FSH is more important than bodywork for cars that age.

bcstudent 0 Posted September 11, 2004 lol....if you'd seen the car you'd realise I'm not that fussy. Bottom line was I rolled my Golf GTi into a ditch (see avatar) and needed a car like yesterday for work. Saw the Corrado, bought the Corrado, did 14k miles in five months with no problems in the Corrado, love the Corrado. It's a bit tatty but it's genuine and tatty - not a load of problems that someone has tried to cover up and everything works on it. It's never let me down in the 20k odd I've done in it and I'd even go as far as to say it drives pretty well with it's new clutch (b4stard of a job that it was). I paid £1400 for it in November, which at the time was probably a couple of hundred more than it was worth but I didn't have the time to argue. It cost me £37 to get through the last MOT and since purchase I've fitted 17 inch wheels (that are now being replaced by standard wheels to improve ride quality), German style plates and FK smoked rear lights.....I also crashed it into a Corsa in February but have since repaired the worst of the damage myself and the scuffed paintwork that remains really doesn't look that out of place! I really can't justify spending big bucks on the bodywork as the car does what I need it to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted September 11, 2004 Thought this motor looked clean for the money : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 72270&rd=1 IIRC the guy was trying to sell it on here, in a price range that WOULD have suited your budget... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Ok. can u interpret your saying please (70mph wipers etc) and its best u crash cars and not ur R6 otherwise u wldnt have stories to tell. cheers The signature is just a p1ss take aimed at VW for producing a car with such sub-standard window wipers and headlights, that's all. As for the R6, there's a guy coming to look at it today (Sunday), which will hopefully leave me with some cash to go R1/GSXR-1000/Fireblade shopping over the winter.
