What? Corrados are notorious for electrical issues.

Looks awesome Nick! Corrados are really cool, but be sure to keep a contingency fund for if *er* when things go wrong :P

Heh, maybe the same electrical engineer designed both?

Same car. Chatted with the owner. He has it sold to someone in Boston subject to an inspection.

Sweet! happy for him. I'm sure someone in Boston is taking advantage of the $, and the superior Canadian spec Corrado! I love those cloth Recaros and I'm really not a fan of the aesthetics of the leather interior on these. Top priority for me after any mechanical niggles is to work that out.

It looks so good and clean, great find man!

Thanks man!

Re: Corrado VR6 - Jacktown

oh nice! I'm assuming it was there for service? There's a black '95 that's been listed for sale here in town recently. A rare bird indeed with full cloth Recaro interior and airbags.

Nick,

Car looks beautiful. There was a black 1995 at the dealership today and I couldn't help but drool the whole time it was there. Such a timeless ,classy design. Plus, nothing beats the sound of a nicely tuned VR6. Super happy for you man! Can't wait to see it!

Re: Corrado VR6 - Jacktown

Thanks everyone! Yeah so pumped. I can't wait to see it in person either!Blind buys are a bit nerve wracking. At least it wasn't too expensive.

Looking good! Funny. I was also looking at MK3's, and somehow I ended up with a Volvo.

Yeah it's so difficult to find MK3's in anything close to decent shape. There was way more choice on Corrodos. I guess because more Golfs were used for daily duty and at least a few of the Corrodos achieved garage queen status.

What? Corrados are notorious for electrical issues.

Looks awesome Nick! Corrados are really cool, but be sure to keep a contingency fund for if *er* when things go wrong :P

Noted! It's not a daily and I'm fully expecting it to spent a lot of time broken down I'm considering this practice for when I buy something Italian in the future.

Here's another pic. So many questions. How will that hood look in person? Are there holes behind that euro plate? What have I done? Why aren't those mirror painted. Should I paint the door handles? What have I dooooone? does the spoiler work properly? Dare I open the sunroof? WHAT HAVE I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE?????????????

I love Corrados, they look "delorian"-ish without the huge electrical issues and are great fun.
