    This one was mine ( sent it off to Illinois to the new owner )

    Not a bad car, mine was a 90, no sunroof, no ABS, the thing was stupid reliable put a new motor in at 250,000 miles ( because I got tired of looking at the forged piston goodness sitting on the engine stand ), had 286k when it went. Mechanically a good car, the wiring harness in them was pure crap, if the fusebox has ever been moved, look for another one. Heater cores tend to pop often also and it's a pain to do.

    Theyre pretty rare considering the few sold and the short run they had.

    The G60 cars apparently have horrible issues with wiring and blowing superchargers. The vr6 cars aren't so bad, but wiring still isnt the best.

    They're basically considered a mk2 even though they look more like mk3's.

    Luckily they aren't difficult to work on and parts are plentiful as they share many parts with passats, jettas, and golfs of that era.

    If you haven't done so already and are interested in checking them out and looking for info, head to vwvortex.com and check out the corrado forum.

    Love these cars. Solid vr6 drivetrain that they used on almost all their cars as well so parts are not that hard to come by.
