Should I or shouldn't I?

Well my dad is going to start rebuilding my stepmom's corrado, which was stolen over a year ago and parts taken off it (quite a lot really) and it has been at his garage ever since. My dad is now going to rebuild it and sell it on.

Now I dont know whether I should ask him if i could buy it off him, sell the Corsa and try and insure the Corrado?

What are your opinions on this matter, and if the Corrado is a good car to go for?

Get some insurance quotes mate

tbh id much rarther have a Corrado over a corsa no matter its age

2nded, as long as its not going to be a money pit and it is fixed up get it, awesome car! is it the VR6 or G60?

High insurance group, only worth all the hassle if your over 25.

Erm I'm 19 and in a couple of months i'll be able to insure the VR6, G60 or 16v for under a grand.

Really, well I guess it depends a lot on the area your in and the ncb. That sounds excellent to me, those are grp17?

2ncb, S40 postcode so whatever that ranks. The only cars that I can't insure cheaply are integra type r's and elises which is what I want for my next car

You might be able to insure it, how long is it to your 1NCB? If it isn't too long it could be worth waiting for that.

I guess its the 1.8?

Matt82 · 22 Sep 2006 at 18:26

what engine has it got and what was taken from it ?

Firestar_3x · 22 Sep 2006 at 18:33

Yes take it over the corsa imho!

Puzzled · 22 Sep 2006 at 19:17

If you can afford it, then yes!

Thats if your dad will even let you have it.

What happened to the Mondeo idea? I thought they were the best cars on earth :confused:

Andybtsn · 22 Sep 2006 at 19:34

'Rado's insurance groups are 16,17 & 18 IIRC?

Quite expensive for what you get in return.

What a cult car from the 90's with fantastic engines and superb handling?

Matt82 · 22 Sep 2006 at 19:51

I wouldn't class the engines as fantastic and I'm pretty sure I could find a cheaper alternative car with better engine/handling characteristics.

The VR6 only interests me and that's going on people's opinions, the G60 bored me tbh.

Matt82 · 22 Sep 2006 at 19:53

by all accounts the vr6s drink like there is no tommorow, and thats when theyre running correctly. id love one, but couldnt justify the drinking costs

Whilst still looking as cool as a Corrado?
