    Default Help me choose a Corrado

    So yesterday I test drove 2 Corrado SLC's. The first on that I test drove was an amazing machine. Mechanically everything worked awesome, had cams, I/H/E and I easily pushed it past 100 and felt like it was going 55. Wonderfully tight suspension, good steering, and awesome breaks. Problem is that the previous owner painted the car and didn't do that great of a job. The previous color was bright red and it was resprayed with a purple color. So every rock chip you see the bright red, and the clear coat was fading. The car is also going to need new tires, and the interior needs some work. He's asking 5k for her.

    The second Corrado was not as powerful. It was pretty much stock except for I/E and mild suspension upgrades. All the gauges were dead save for the gas gauge, and the owner says it's just a fuse but you have to take out the dashboard to get to it. The body was straight save for a pretty big gash on the hood, has brand new tires, but needs an alignment (which the owner says he'll get done. Wanted 4k for her.


    So what do you guys think? Which one do you think I should go for. I'm not talented with body work and paint, but I can spin wrenches.

    I say tell the 1st guy about the second and see if he can meet you in the middle with his price. I'd go with the modded car if I could.

    Yeah that's not a bad idea. Maybe it's about time I learned how to do paint and body work.

    I know the seller of the first one and he is a good guy and is active in the VW community locally. He seems like he knows his stuff and I have seen his car running around town for quite a while and he didnt seem to have any issues with it.

    As for the second one I would stay away from any corrado with known electrical issues. . . wait i guess that rules out all corrados LOL
