how do!

hi guys looking to buy my first corrado but debating weather to go a g60 or vr?!! on a small budget!

hmm.. dont start that one! depends how small a small budget is.. either could end up costing you lots in maintenance if you go for a low end one.

At the moment i think you get a lot more choice with a low end VR though, but personally would say don't rule out a valver.

Welcome.

 

VR and G60 are equally good in different ways. But neither would be cheap to run and maintain. A valve would be a little cheaper on a tight budget.

not impossible to find either now for £1500 but they'll probably be very tired. should get you a very nice valver though..

I wouldn't touch a £1500 vr or g60 with someone elses barge pole. Unless I had £1k to £2k to put into improving it.

[oakey dokey 10]

price doesnt always reflect what you buy! some people dont know what there worth, and there only worth what someones willing to pay! i meen id never give 3grand for a vr6 because i dont think there worth that but id pay 15thousand for a ratty camper!

That's true but having watched the market for a long time the bottom end is often filled with the poor examples that are boarderline breakers. Having said that a lot of top end stuff isn't selling either and prices are creeping down for good stuff.

 

I spent about £2.7k on mine if I recall (the market has fallen a bit since last year though and I reckon I would have paid about £2.3k for that same car now. But then I spent around £1k on bits an pieces to tidy it up (new alarm, various bits of interior and exterior trim, fixing a few mechanical and electrical issues, etc). That doesn't include the better interior that I put in either and I still think I need to spend at least £1.5k to get the car bodywork and other items quite how I want it.

 

It's not a cheap hobby and I thikn it would be cheaper to buy a slightly more expensive run of the mill average car :)

 

But an average car wouldn't give me the grin I now have :)
