***SOLD***
Vehicle Details
Year : 1990
Make and Model : VW Corrado
Exterior Color : White
Interior Color : Black
Auto or Manual? : Manual
Odometer Reading : 174,XXX kms
Location of Vehicle : Calgary
Description : I've had this car for two years but have barely driven it in that time. I used it for about two or three months before I decided to park it for the winter and then decided I didn't need to drive a car. Since then I've changed my mind and bought another car rendering this one useless to me. I wanted to sell it but couldn't find the time to fix it and it's just been sitting for over a year now. The registration ran out sept. 1 and it was towed sept. 5th. I've let this sit too long and don't have the time or motivation to fix the problems so I'm letting it go for a deal. The problems are
1 - battery drain, not sure where from but after doing some research I believe it's the ignition switch.
2 - headlights aren't working quite properly (high beams messed up). Some kind of wiring issue.
3 - Runs a bit rich, I believe this is the battery drain - when these cars don't get their full 12V or more from the battery problems start to show up. This is an intermittent problem, I think it will be fixed with a new ignition switch.
Used to be euro_trash's (name on beyond) car, if that makes any difference. All mods done by him, none by me (other than new wheels/tires).

- Autotech camshaft

PM me, do not lowball as this is going to be a fairly cheap fix for a low km car worth much much more than the asking price.
