    1.8 or 2.0 16v?

    HI all, i am looking to but myself either a 1.8 or 2.0 16v and i was just wondering what the difference of the peerformance of the two is. i know the 1.8 will do 0-60 in 8.7 or something and the 2.0 is slightly higher but which one would i be better off with, are the 2.0 a lot slower. is the 2.0 better above 60mph?
  3. can i just say that this car is from a small dealer/repair garage that deals in VW and Audi, he has done no HPI check and no others, he says that he will take full responsibility if stolen. already he has replaced brakes, exhaust, battery 2 tyres , rear shocks PAS pump and Cambelt, its MOT'd for 1 yr. if some one was trying to sell this car in a years time with no service history but the above , would it be a problem or would i loose out on a lot of money???
  4. yeah i know the feeling,the thing is i dont want a prestine condition car at the moment i just want a decent car which is tidy and will last me about a year with minimal problems. i am only 19 and insurance is a very high price for me so i am looking to get a slightly cheaper 16v that will last about a year untill i get a beauty.
  5. yes after hearing it from you guys i think that i will be walking away. it is just very tempting as i have wanted a corrado for 6 months now and i have been looking for one for about 4 weeks and nothing decent has come up yet or it has alrady been sold and i am desperate to get one before christmas.
  6. he is asking 1950 for it with a few extra things thrown in because he cant do anything on the price.
  7. hi all i have been looking for a corrado recently and i have been to look at a G reg 1.8 16v. everything on the car seems to be fine except it has no service history at all. it has 116,000 miles and the car seems generally in quite good condition for the year. could anyone give me any advice as i cant make up my mind, the car is from a dealer and has had a lot of work done to it. i am not a mechanic and my knowledge in engines in minime, thanks for your help.
