dbpvr6 0 Posted February 25, 2020 Anyone know the car? Seems good history on the face of it. Not sure about the new cam belt though or the cheap looking tyres https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1994-volkswagen-corrado-vr6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 18 Posted February 25, 2020 Can belt??? looks really nice and love the silver. Really good price at the moment but will be interesting to see what it goes for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted February 26, 2020 Yeah I've just had a quick look also, it does look like a decent Corrado, there's not many around now with under 100k miles on the clock, the mileage is 74,274 with full service history. According to the site there's been 12 bids on it, current bid is £4350 on 25 February at 10:28pm with 6 days to go until action ends. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bush 10 Posted February 28, 2020 Never seen that website before. Sounds like eBay, but they make there money out of buyer, rather than seller. So if the description is false, and you go to collect a car that turns out to be a raft that's been described as mint, the seller loses nothing, and the buyer still has to pay the listing fees 🤔 Or am I miss reading how it works. Car does look good though, be interesting to see what it sells for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted February 28, 2020 Yeah, it looks like they just act as a middleman with a web site and charge the buyer a 6% premium - good business model - but do you get the premium back if the car turns out to be a lemon or you decide not to go through with the sale?

Reddy VR6 10 Posted February 28, 2020 Interesting. I have never heard of this site before. Some of the format is a bit like bring a trailer.com in the US but on a much smaller scale. Nice looking car and just round the corner from me. I Like a Corrado in Satin Silver. Reckon any potential buyer would be taking on any risk just like in a private sale. If I didn’t already have one I would bid myself ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted March 3, 2020 I'm pretty sure it's Chris Harris and another high-end car dealer behind it - they have a podcast which is pretty good too. They've just dropped the reserve so this will be going tonight, good money already given that the buyer pays £600. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted March 3, 2020 Hmmm I like the colour and the mileage. As it reads original owner then someone purchased and gave it a spray job and few other bits and selling after a year. This is certainly not from an owner that has spent a fortune on the car, could be the spray job is not great if been done on the cheap. If I was going to spend good money on a Rado I would be looking for a car seller with OCD that had spent a fortune with a pile of recent receipts, I think this car will still mostly have the issues of a 25 year old car that has not had much money spent on it.

Cressa 44 Posted March 3, 2020 Bidding ended and Unsold! I wonder if it did not meet its reserve! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted March 3, 2020 They must have wanted a lot if they lowered the reserve to something over £7500.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reddy VR6 10 Posted March 4, 2020 Last time I looked the bidding was up to £6250 plus the 6% fee but there were a good couple of hours to go. Not sure where it ended but seems it did not reach its reserve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
