Hello, at this price I'd guess its a 2L 16V. I've just bought a car of the same value and of course its far from perfect but it has got some potential.

Things I'd look out for if looking at another one would be: Front landing panel under the radiator, check for rust.

Engine mounts, you'll feel the car shake when idle.

Suspension mounts, bushes and top mounts, especially if its lowered. Play in steering.

Check rear arches for signs of filler/rust. Feel under the lip for lumps.

Check behind the corrado badge on the rear for rust, pop the boot and feel round the back of it.

This list could go on but driving it should let you know.....

 

Just some pointers as I've looked at a few cheap corrados and all of them had suffered from some poor maintenance, but if your handy with the spanners it'll save you some cash but be prepared to spend as corrados are getting old now and all the good ones rarely come up for sale. Good luck.
