Corrado VR6 on ebay

[182pilot]

Wow, anyone seen the 20k mile Storm on ebay? Very tempted

£8500. Always wanted one

Thats a bit of a bargain for a low mileage example. maybe he should advertise it in a specialist magazine instead of Fleabay.
Saying that can't see the point of paying more for a Storm than a VR6 when the badge, standard leather and wheels are the only difference.

You don't need to buy a 20k Corrado to have a good one. There are really nice Storms around with 80-90k on them at only ~£4,500 money, and mechanically they're not the kind of car you need to buy with low miles on them. If anything they get a bit better with age.

Secondly, what on earth has the owner been doing with it for the last 11 years? 20k miles?? I'd be a little bit suspicious myself.

Indeed. Any car that has done less than 2k miles a year hasn't been driven enough.

I'd be worried that it had been driven normally for a couple of years and then kept in a barn for the past 8 years or so with all the mechanical worries that would bring.

Agreed- I would rather have one thats had a consistent 5K per year than one that suggests its been in storage for most of its life (assuming its a genuine 20K- that said I saw a 15 year old Giffith today with only 24K on it...)

An enthusiast owned car with evidence of regular servicing and proper maintenance will be cheaper, more reliable and very likely make better power.

Unless you want a show car that Storm is overpriced.

I agree but low miles are always an interest!!

You could buy an Audi S3 with similar miles and under half the age, for similar outlay. The corrado prices are very distorted.

ps

This example will have various problems due to sitting around doing bugger all. Mind you, the careful owner still managed to have a serious accident in it. Nice

That is a fair point!
