There is also a spare set of Number plates provided as when I got the car I put Vw supplied Euro Style GB Number Plates on it. Wing Kirror Glass also recently replaced with blue tinted anti dazzle glass at a cost of £70! GOOD POINTS: -Bodywork in very nice condition with no dings, scrapes, scratches and most importantly No rust. -Interior condition also very good. Headlining and Leather spotless with no marks or scuffs. Carpets clean and with fitted VW branded Carpet Mats in immaculate condition -Comprehensive Service records and very good provenance from new. -At least the last 3 owners members of CCGB/Corrado Forum and thousands spent. -Long MOT May 2014). -Starts and runs well with no over heating. Water Temp good and fans kick in as they should on all settings. Oil fresh and does not leak. -although Sorn car is on a trickle charger so no problem starting, car gets started and run on private road behind property every week whilst off road. -Electric Windows, Rear Spoiler, Wing Mirrors, Heated Seats and Trip Computer, Heated Rear Screen, Rear Wiper, Heater, Stereo, Instrument Illumination, Central Locking(off the remote), all work as they should. -Space Saver Spare Wheel, Jack and Tools present. -Vredestein SportTrac Tyres all round in virtually new condition (less than 3k relaxed miles since fitted). Speedline Alloys are also in outstanding condition. -Original spec Shocks/Springs included if new owner wishes to return ride height to standard. -ABS System Functions perfectly. The light comes on at start up and goes out immediately. BAD POINTS: -seems to be a slight engine misfire/hesitation at low revs/speed, drives fine at higher speeds with strong acceleration. Not investigated as have another VR6 which I am currently using. If I do not sell and decide to put car back on the road for winter I will look into this issue. -Clutch Pedal feels stiff, maybe the Clutch is on the way out. No problem selecting gears and drives fine when on the move, but again at low revs or stationary it seems stiff?! -some surface rust on robust suspension arm components, fuel tank straps etc under car. -needs Tax as currently Sorn for last month -Sunroof currently doesn't work on slide or tilt. In summary the car looks really presentable and everything apart from the Sunroof works perfectly. I feel it probably needs some minor mechanical/engine bay work to make it an outstanding example. As someone without the knowledge of facilities to do mechanical work I feel somebody else could get a lot more out of the car than I currently am. It's a shame to see it sat idle and it's time for a new home. I plan to Tax the car at the end of September and then run it over the winter months whilst my other VR is laid up. However, at the asking price I will put 6 months tax on it now. £SOLD Edited September 14, 2013 by Billzeebub Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
