    Searching for a Corrado, how does this one look?

    Hey all,

    Can anyone give me any idea at all why this car would be "worth" more than $11,000 over its book value?

    I've been looking for a Corrado for a while now, obviously this one in such incredible condition caught my eye but I can't believe the asking price on it...

    Are they really getting marked up this much now?

    It's clean and stock but I don't think worth that much. They are hard to find in that condition.

    It's clean and worth what someone is willing to pay. That being said I personally don't think he'll get his asking price of $15k. For a clean STORM edition maybe. For the über rare CAMPAIGN edition in that condition $15k is a steal.

    That car may be "worth" the seller's asking price to an individual who is looking to have a pristine factory spec Corrado for their collection. Finding a buyer for that car at that price will be a challenge though.

    I agree with everyone so far, being that the car is in excellent shape, but worth no where near 15k. Even though the car has low miles.. the car is still 20 years old, Id say in that condition its work $8-10K tops

    good luck

    I bought my C two years ago for 8500 in very close condition to that. It had 58k on it and plenty of extras. LSD, Non abs, full suspension and tie and sway bars. $15k is a lot for that car, but good luck finding another one like it. I knew of "my" Corrado for years before I finally persuaded it outta the PO's hands.

    There is no Corrado with this mileage, non molested and in the condition anywhere in the world!
    This is quite an assumption, and would be the #2 reason why I would steer clear. #1 would be... it's green


    Jokes aside, if you have the dough and want it... do it! Eff what anonymous people on a forum think
