How do peeps,
Gonna cut to the chase here...... I am based in Coventry CV5 area
I got a 1990 VW Corrado 16v KR engine - with a genuine 152001 miles on the clock.. Car is still very tight and the ride is very good, brakes almost put you through the window and acceleration almost puts you in the back seat. For 150k on the clock this car is absolutley spot on.... definately been looked after and maintained all it's life....
I have owned the car for 6 months it's been brilliant, no hassle, tons of genuine VW Service history stamped in the book, not that it really matters when the car is this old but just so you know... Receipts and all the usual old tickets and bits and pieces
I have done 7-8k in the car in and down the country 100% reliable, warm and most of all very comfy, i'm not claiming this car to be a show winner but it's defo not a heap.
COME AND HAVE A DRIVE, LET SEE IF YOU TELL ME YOU DON'T LIKE IT....... i don't think you will. people that have driven or owned these cars before will know what i'm talkin about...
Fuel comsumption is great, averages 33-36 mpg on a run, and 25-26 mpg round cities... not bad for a 19yrs old engine...
I will now get to the reason for sale, a month or so ago i purchased a 1972 Bay, it needs a good refit and a hit with the lowering stick
as well as some other bits and pieces
So thats what i intend to do with the money from the corrado. I have a fleet of 3 VW's and it's not too cheap so something has to go, and air-cooled has to stay in this household..... so out with the water-cooled... gotta get the bus ready for the summer......
FACTS..
Service book and Car instruction manual - Present.
V5 Present.
TAX expiries 31\06\2009 - I put 6 months on it when i first got it.
MOT expires 22\05\2009 - didn't realise it was this soon, i have no worries about it passing, i've been underneath this car on a set of garage ramps when it was at the garage having the exhaust sealed and refitted, I have to say ROCK SOLID i had a good bang around, cause i'm a nosey bugger like that

No Strero included, Currently has in dash DVD Player with 7" pop touch screen, but this is staying with my unless you make me a good offer.
Comes with a TOAD Ai606 Alarm/Imobiliser - Ear piercingly loud - Fitted by previous owner on 11/04/03 at a cost of £329.00 - ouch It has the fitted by approved fitter certificate, so the insurance cost comes down..... oh, well i mention insurance - got this insured with Barry Grainger - FULLY COMP - £325 .. - Clean Licence
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generally a very tidy car, excellent runner, with no know problems!!!!!!
Interior: is in very good condition, very clean, although i have to mention that there is a little rip on the drivers side seat, on the bottom of the upright next to the seatbelt fastner/clicker.
Exterior: Generally good all round, a dink from the previous owner on the near side rear quarter and a couple of tiny bleamishs, one on the front wing and one on the bottom of the drivers door, haven't done anything to it because, there only 1.5cm circles. The rear spoiler does still work, very well, raises up after 45MPH - cool little touch by VW i think.
Electrics: In good condition, everything works.... yes EVERYTHING....
Electric windows, mirrors, spoiler, Fogs - front/rear, all the little bulbs in the dash work, i know because i had the horific job of replacing them. It nice to see the clocks lit up at night. Dimmer switch works too...
Other bits to look at:
Could do with a tyre on the nearside front, (that in my opinion is all needed for MOT time).
------ I MUST ADD IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A STRAIGHT CORRADO--------
TO EURO-LOOK THIS WOULD BE THE ONE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
MINIMUM EFFORT MAXIMUM RESULT, IF I NEVER SAW THAT CAMPER
I WOULD BE DOING IT MYSELF, BUT SUCH IS LIFE.
