General Comments
Fantastic car, really deserves a look if you in the market for a coupe.
The Volkswagen Corrado G60 Supercharged makes a very very nice noise, although needs servicing every 50k if standard. It really is worth it though. Mine has done 180k and is still going strong.
When buying always check for extra's. e.g leather, recaros, ABS etc. Rust isn't really a problem on corrados as if i remember correctly they are galvanised. Colours such as nugget yellow and Aubergine are rarer and look amazing.
It is 160bhp standard, this is enough for some people but once you get into it you will probably want more, mine is standard at the momnet and just today we had a race with a motorbike(bmw i think) and a BMW 740i wanted in on the action. The torque of the car really threw both of there guard.
If you do want more bhp this is readily available, a chip and pulley kit starts from about £150, this instantly ups the horse power to about 190bhp with a 68mm pulley with torque to match, you can also get smaller pulleys but as you go smaller, bhp+torque increase but charger serviceing needs to become more regular.
It really is a fantastic car and is one you should buy, the handling is fantastic and everything about it is fun.
It also has a spoiler that raises at 45mph and goes down at 12mph
Brilliant, hope I have been some help convincing you to buy this amazing car.
