FLASH RED VR6

[BLCSO 0]

Well bit the bullet and bought myself a VR6. :D

 

After a wee drive from North Wales to North of Newcastle, the car was as good as it: a) LOOKED IN THE ADVERT and b) AN AFFORDABLE WAY INTO VR6 OWNERSHIP.

 

In the middle of house renovation so what money I had to spend on a new kitchen has gone on a Corrado instead. Fortunately I have a very understanding wife as she excepts my wanton desire for cars !!!!!!!

 

Anyway about the car:- Came with a pile of receipts. All chains have been changed within the last year along with a head refurb. Car drove very well on the test drive and took the 4.5 hr drive home with ease.

 

It has obviously had some paintwork on the front, a few minor niggles - sunroof and passenger window not working. Rear aerial is missing and previous, previous owner has removed the rear wiper ??? But heh it's a 'K' reg car with a 159000 on the clock.

 

Don't really have any massive plans, I just plan to enjoy the car. Will not be doing a lot of miles in it so hopefully will last me a good while.

 

Just need to start saving the pennies now or sell one of My Golf's to fund the kitchen !!

 

Good buy or bad buy we will let time tell.

Certainly a nice looking example :)

I fancied that car myself, wrong timing for me at the moment, good luck with it :)

Very nice, but then I'm a bit biased.

Cheers Oz,

 

11 years and 2 kids, that's why you have the two VR6's.

 

Looks like you will have to find someone else to drive one of your VR's to the shows..............unless I get to drive the VRT :lol:

:D :D :D :D :D I am a happy man. After a couple of months and 3hours on the telephone to The Post Office I have finally sorted out the insurance. Corrado is in my wife's name and I tried to transfer the insurance from the Golf Gti to the Corrado. The underwriter for the Golf would not insure the Corrado, so I was told that I had to cancel that policy and start a new. Problem with this is that they wanted an £80 cancelation fee and then £700 to insure the Corrado 3rd party :pale: Needless to say had a scan round for a cheper quote and that was with yep you guessed the Post Office :? Spoke to customer advisor and was advised that they could not match the price of £347 Comprehensive as this was for new customer's only but I could cancel my old policy pay the £80 cancellation fee and then take out the new one :mad2:

 

Anyway cut to the chase after about 6 phone calls and approx 3 hrs I have finally persuaded the Post Office that it may be good business practice to keep their exsisting customers happy. So cancellation fee has not been applied and I have got the insurance for the £347 :clap:

 

Moral to the story, never give up you stand a chance of getting there in the end.

 

And a :salute: to Steve the third person I spoke to for sorting it out.
