Bigjobbo 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 A Corrado VR6 '94, with 18,352 miles, garaged overnight from new, one owner, serviced by my dealership for it's entire life. I couldn't buy it, it's against the law once it's been registered as scrap, believe me i tried. Sorry if the pic doesn't work.The icing on the cake is "what i could have bought it for"...... £1500 Heads up, i spoke in depth to the scrap fella who turned up, when i asked if it would be cubed, he said not a chance, they'll break it. Skemsdale if any one is interested. As you can imagine the car was mint. Link to post Share on other sites

Greg VR6 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 That will be going to Hills Motors then, a real shame to see such a car taken off the road, some people just dont have any foresight as to the asset or the physical value of a vehicle.I have seen some excellent cars going to be scrapped. A1 condition Mk3 16v's with 17k on the clock, as well as a whole host of other classic vehicles and useable vehicles. all lined up around the country to be destroyed. I have heard of garages buying the car off the owner rather than it entering the scheme, shame the garage didnt do this. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 what a shame that looks lovely ! I suppose you could always offer to give the guy what he would get from the scrappage scheme for the car ?? or there is obviously a less legal way of doing it !!! :^) :-* Link to post Share on other sites
BADOIR 2 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Its all wrong when a classic piece like that ends up in a thousand pieces, surely there must be a loophole to get em back on the road, wot a pi$$er Link to post Share on other sites

kerrly 0 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 come on people. One less Corrado VR and no doubt one brand new Kia on the road to replace it. Its for the good of the earth because everyone knows that a 15year old car capable of 25mpg is going to kill the planet where as building a new car taht can do 30mpg using raw materials, shipping it all around the world and delivering it to a forecourt has NO environmental impact whatsoever.
