Quasi OT - Corrado / possible scirocco sale

[ternil@union.edu (Lyman M. Terni)]

Brian,

I understand what you are saying, and that is what originally kept me 
away from corrados. However, the guy I am buying it from took very good 
care of it and all the big, scary, expensive junk on it (timing 
chains/rollers/tensioners) was done very recently. The car is clean and 
everything works on it. I may be getting myself into something big and 
bad and I appreciate your advice, but where there is a will there is a 
way and I'm twenty... I'm allowed to not know any better :).

respectfully,
Lyman
