VR6 is a good choice, G60's are ok but need lots of looking after.

When you go to view, make sure you pay a lot of attention to the body work.
Mine had a few niggles that I sorted but thankfully the body was solid. That will be the biggest outlay if you had to replace anything.

This was the advice I was given when I bought mine and seeing the prices of second hand wings etc. it was good advice  :wink:

I had the 2.0l 9a and was fine. More importantly, it was as fast as a G60, VR6 and a 1.8t when stuck in traffic  :cool:
'95 Mystic blue Mk3 2.0l 8v - gone
'93 2.0l 16v Corrado - gone (and missed)
'02 A4 Quattro sport - gone
'91 Black 2.1 16v Corrado -gone
'91 Tornado red Mk2

Well its definitely an option because they look cool especially for their age.. maybe i would get a 1.8 and convert to 1.8t one day..

The chargers on the G60 need servicing every 60k on standard pulley. Its a little cheaper if sticking to standard, but with stage 4 its down to a 30k recommend, and 500 notes for rebuilds every couple of years dependant on how often you drive it. Obviously if its gonna be a daily, go for the 16v (apparently the 1.8 is better than the 2.0). I'm definately gonna get one early next year, and have been looking. Signed up to corrado_net.co.uk, and asked a few questions and had a look on there. My missus will be driving again in February so will be doing less milage, so I'm going for the VR. There are tons of em about too and dont fetch much more than the valvers. Again though, unless you spend a fortune, you wont see much more than about 220 bhp regardless of which one you buy.
