It's worth more with an NCT on it also, so if you could get one on it, that'll help. I'd only be leading you astray to give you a value on it. There's others here that can be more useful to you than I in that regard. Edit: There's a 1996 8v one here asking €5,500. https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/vw-corrado-8v/24559173

Sounds like it needs a fair bit of rust repair, and if some is visible it’s a certainty that there is more hidden, then there’s painting on top of that. A running driving one sold a couple of weeks ago for around the €2k mark. Post up some pics of the interior, the recaro seats would be worth something....but not the prices you see on eBay. If they were selling at those prices they wouldn’t be on eBay forever. What colour is it and what county is it registered in?
farmer2018 wrote: » Yes it will need thousands of work possibly you are correct. Ideal project for a mechanic/panel beater. Where did the one sell for 2k? because I don't see any for that kind of money. I am not going to throw away the car either as I know they are becoming rare. The car is a nugget rado! I bet there is very few of them if any in Ireland.
