I would buy that for ?400. It would need a little work, but I bet its not as bad as it seems. I redckon he will get ?750 for it.



i wouldnt touch it with a barge pole.

there are simply too many things wrong with it. you may as well find a mint version for ?2-3k.

you wont bring that car up to scratch for ?2-3k. thats the problem. you'll need to spend the best part of ?4k+.

i respect the guy for being honest but it does seem a bit of bit of a bomb!

no charger? 400 quid rebuild or minimum 800 for another one.

hmmm, it does go whooooooooooooooooooosh when you get it running well :)

But to be honest, if you buy a G60 you have to plan for a charger rebuild.  If its as soon as you buy it no biggie, at least then you know for a fact it isn't going to blow up any time soon!

I really want my dad to buy it so I can fix it for him, but I think me mum would crucify him!  ;D

personally this one deserves a good home

that corrado will have an end price of an average book price one know doubt fair few days left on it.

50,000 and the superchargers gone? i dont buy it theres something seriously wrong about that car even his description is rather dubious. alot of turds are flushed through ebay and you cant polish a turd.

make a tidy profit on that one if its going for peanuts as the fault is easy to fix on that one

now where did i put that trailer

bit of filler here and there may out weigh the car but it covers some right sins.

I bought a sub of a guy on ebay and he was a VW nut. He had a very nice Coraddo on the drive and he bought it on ebay for ?1300 (N reg - i think), the supercharger was not working. It was a very minor problem and he fixed it. Car is worth ?3000 all day long (FSH, 85,000miles, VGC etc).

So there are bargins if you hunt them out and know what to look for.

that sounds like it could be the fuel cap.
guy in pratical classics had a car kept breaking down like fuel ran out leave it a while and it started. he changed points, plugs, rotorarm, coil, stripped and rebuilt carb overhauled the fuel lines and pump etc. in the end he found out the aftermarket fuel cap on it was not vented when it sould of been and the partial vacuum in the tank was more than the pump could overcome. replaced the cap and it ran perfectly.

it sold for ?600 there abouts thats hardly a bargain.

simpliest things are the most pain in the backsides to solve.
