Wendy 0 Posted March 15, 2017 Wow !! Stunning, even if it is Pink !!! (Ask Liffuzzer ! ) I too believe this will go very quickly. I have not looked at ones for sale for ages, I would have thought a possible 2.5k more though in asking price ? Or, is this unrealistic ? That car is in excellent order and condition. Think I would rather buy it (despite being Pink !! ) - then let it go to a trader. Jim - you tempted ?? !!!!! Ha ha !!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted March 15, 2017 Hi Wendy, I am a bit gutted I didn't look at prices more carefully now! I bought when Corrado's were at pretty much their lowest. Mid recession and not many folks wanted VR6 running costs. Since then I've added on value for the time and cost I've put into it but didn't factor in that values have gone up in general and seem to be only going up as the cars become more rare. Lots of interest so far, I suspect it will be gone soon :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hofmiester 10 Posted March 16, 2017 Lovely car but too cheap.. worth a few more pounds now prices on the increase. I might stick it on eBay at the weekend for a higher price and see if I get any bites. Also, I've seen a 911 and the dealer is actually keen to do a part ex as he sells specialist cars. He's looking into corrado values as he has no clue at the moment. Would much rather it stayed on the forum though.

This car looks in amazing condition but you will not regret going for the 911, I really miss mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted March 16, 2017 Ron, I feel for you !! Unless you actually have a Forum buyer about to buy,I would actually consider taking it off the market for a month or two, or, as you say at least put it on Ebay for a higher price. Unless of course you get a good trade in price. If you finances allow, I would even consider keeping it. The market does appear to be moving in the right direction. There was a great write up recently on Pistonheads. 911 - way to go - hopefully I will be joining that club too within the next 12 months !!!!!!!!! Good Luck whatever you decide.

Dox 23 Posted March 16, 2017 I think the car is priced to sell quickly, but this isn't the best place to sell it as most already have a Corrado. Loans are cheap ATM so it may be worth holding on to the C as the values are increasing at a better rate than you'd get in the bank? GLWS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hofmiester 10 Posted March 17, 2017 DEPOSIT TAKEN - Huge amount of interest from potential buyers, probably the fastest I have ever sold a car........I am gutted frankly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeba 0 Posted March 17, 2017 DEPOSIT TAKEN - Huge amount of interest from potential buyers, probably the fastest I have ever sold a car........I am gutted frankly If I had the cash I'd of pulled your arm off at that price to be honest... a LOT more interest in them of late, I have people stop and speak to me almost everyday when I'm tinkering with the Corrado on the driveway... people even pull up in cars and get out.

Jim 2 Posted March 17, 2017 No surprise you sold it so quickly. This was the bargain of the century and reckon you could have easily got 7-8k without too much trouble :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jekel 10 Posted March 17, 2017 I wasn't in the market but was still sorely tempted with this, was going to message to come for a look on weekend, looks like new owner bagged himself a good one, hope you don't regret selling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jekel 10 Posted March 17, 2017 I'm regretting it already :( need to buy a 911 to console me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm only in South Shields, pity never seen it, Chris obviously knows the car and thinks highly of it. Mines been pretty much totally mechanically rebuilt over past year or I'd have jumped at chance soon as saw ad. Good look with the 911, I'm also a fan, would love a classic 70's one but the prices have went ridiculous. My uncles got a RUF wouldn't like to think what it's worth these days.

caz.w 0 Posted March 17, 2017 Hi don't get me wrong 911's are lovely motors not that I've owned one , however think you might actually get more respect in the rado . Especially yours good look Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graham1971 10 Posted March 18, 2017 A nice clean 911 Targa would be right up there on my dream car list, I got as far as owning a solid 1990 944 S2 (3.0 16v) convertible, had it for 5 years without spending anything out of the ordinary on it and sold it eventually for exactly what I'd paid for it. Cheap motoring when you think about it logically! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted March 18, 2017 Yeah - Porsche to replace the Corrado !!! A nice 911 GT3 hey ? !! That would consol me too !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted March 18, 2017 I had a 911 996 C4s for around a year and only sold it as we needed money for house building work. I love the Corrado's but 911 is a totally different league IMO. You can tell where the 40 years of development has gone. They just feel like a proper sports car. I like my current car but if I could swap for a 911 again Id do it in a heartbeat.
