lampshade 10 Posted March 10, 2015 Got her home today,she drove on the trailer no problem but problems so far,electric windows don't work,sunroof want go down on one side(just read about this problem),exhaust sounds like its blowing from mani and after a wipe of the front windscreen i found it to be cracked,i haven't washed it yet as am not sure what to do with! do i sell it on as i found it or will it sell better washed?and if i sell it what is the value of one like this :( ohh and its 110000 miles is this good or bad on a 92 corrado? It does have cams,full custom ss exhaust and a massive folder of history,grey leather interior in not bad condition and a boot full of spare lights etc.[ATTACH=CONFIG]81090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]81091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]81092[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 10, 2015 Give it a wash and see what the paintwork is like. Tbh, its probably not worth a great deal. 110k is reasonable mileage but not particularly low. The fact its been laid up so long will mean that quite a lot of perishables like bushes, hoses, tyres, cambelt etc will probably need changing out. Cams are a plus, but won't add a great deal to the sale price. Most will have plenty of history, so again it won't add a great deal. Leather is generally a plus though provided its in reasonable condition. Get some photos up, and decide if you want to put the money into it yourself, or flog it on as a resto project.
