Buying a Corrado

[MK1Scirocco16v at comcast.net (Dave Ewing)]

Didn't sound like he was buying from the mechanic, Al, just that he checked
it out for him.

As far as the car goes it depends on what you want it for.  If it is just to
run around in then you can't beat $1300 but I, myself, would part the sucker
out!!  Depends on what you think of the SC on those (I was never impressed
but that's a heavy car it's pulling around) but the motor is worth a chunk
of cash unless you end up using it yourself.  I know if the tranny is any
good they are worth something too!!  You could transplant everything into a
Scirocco and have 158hp without mods and you could even transplant the cable
shift tranny!

Corrado guys will probably buy all the little stuff from you and you'd pay
for the car and maybe have some cool parts left over!  Any go fast stuff on
it??
