The time has come for me to sell my Corrado VR6. I have owned this car for approximately 2.5 years and covered about 8000 miles in that time. It has always been my second car and only really used during the summer months. I originally travelled down to Preston to purchase this car as it was in very good good condition.

MOT

 

Prior to me purchasing the car the previous owner (a user on Corrado.net) had the following work carried out:-

 

05/03/2010

 

Replaced radiator using VW Parts (cost £343.90)

 

25/11/2009 - Awesome, Manchester

 

Purchase and fitting of Milltek Center section and Rear Silencer Exhaust

Purchase and fitting of Weitec Hicon GT Coilover Kit

4 Wheel Alignment

Total over £1K

 

 

Good Bits

 

- Quiet VR6 Engine which does not burn oil

- Electric windows and mirrors (all work)

- Electric Sunroof which tilts and slides

- Electric rear spoiler which goes up at 55mph, down at 10mph - can also be operated manually

- Milltek Exhaust

- Weitec Coilovers

- Lupo wiper conversion

- Uprated headlight loom (means you can now see in the dark)

- Full leather interior

- Alpine stereo with ipod connection

- 4 x Kumho tyres which have only done 2-3K miles

- Brake pipes replaced as part of MOT (12 months MOT until 10/10/2014)

- Heater works on all speed settings

- MFA works on all settings

- Comprehensive service history

 

Not So Good Bits (unfortunately every 18 year old car has some and I am just being honest)

 

- ABS light occasionally comes on (as per pic). This is worse when it has been sat for a while but after a few trips it works as normal, light comes on and goes out (think it is a duff sensor as it has been looked at before but car has passed 3 MOT's with the intermittent problem).

- Slight knock from the exhaust which has only just started happening, looks like it needs a new rubber hanger

- Speedline wheels could do with a refurb but all are straight / hold air (these were my winter wheels)

- Heater works on all speed settings but not direction settings, common Corrado problem which I think is related to cables

- Some of the lights on the dash (around heater controls, cigarette lighter) don't work - never bothered me tbh

 

I am not really in a rush to sell and don't really want to but my wife hates the car so needs must. I have 2 sets of wheels which could be sold with the car at additional cost (16" Lenso BSX in very good condition with stretched tyres, 16" polished Porsche Teledials with metal centre caps and adapters - no tyres.
