hate to burst your bubble but onluess the car is modded it does not make 190hp not even to the flywheel. as kor karman hehe they all say that but its okai. it is sad i know so much for a guy that has never owned one. BUT I WILL. 116 isnt too bad but id say try to drop the price if you can. ps they all have the wing as well. i would love to see some pix of it was well. just makin sure you dont get jipped.

Of course the car is modded...

And I'll try to do my best to ask the guy to lower the price because 116 000 miles is too many miles to me...

Hey guys. I really like the vr6 engine and the Corrado is by far the best looking VW for the engine. I also found a 92 SLC 5spd for 7500 I really only want to pay around 5500, so its right up there with ur price. The car reads 10900, its Red with Black leather. The guy emailed me back and it looks like he doesnt speak english to well but i was able to find out that the car is currently insured under his uncle. So either he couldnt afford it because hes to young(and raced it) or he just couldnt afford it because he was new to the country. Car also has new "clear" tail lights, new fog lights, NEU Intake, NEU strut tie bar, Custom made 2.5" CAT Back ehaust. So im pretty sure the dude was driving the car hard... maybe time for a rebuild/swap.. probably just tune up basic maintance and take the shit he put on off cause its probably junk and doing more bad than good.

But with 92's you have to watch out for leakey head gaskets on the vr6. Major issue.. recall #93V102000 to correct the wiring harness on the engine. The 2nd gear looses its syncro's and becomes junk sometimes.
