[@VW4life100]

you won my subscription over that corrado, dont do it!! that car is pure joy u will regrett it

[@dbrinzo]

Agreed. Sold my mk4 r32 a few months back and I miss it more than ever. Turns out the person who bought it from me crashed her too. :(

[@mrodriguez2007]

The Corrado is such a great car. I had a 1990 that I had during high school. Drove it for four years before I had to sell due to college. Biggest regret in my life was selling that car.

[@jacklee7104]

Had my black 3.0 VR6 17 years & really regret selling it, drove it HARD apart from uprating the brakes & suspension never had any real issues.

[@ImolaM5]

Actually, SLC is an acronym for Sport Luxury Coupe

[@MaxDephyantz]

You are correct!

[@Daver-2000]

Don't do it!!!! I sold my "rare as fuck" 1995 corrado (Canada) back in 2005 when we had our first child. I have been regretting it ever since. It was this car that brought me to your channel as I lust after corrados regularly.

[@briandasilva1132]

I subscribed because of this corrado.. selling it is a bad idea

[@mezalong]

ive never come across a pertol head that dislikes the corrado. brilliant classic.

[@BluequesT]

Kick ass build! I always wanted one. Missed out on getting a 95 but I did get a 95 Golf Vr6 but didn't have it long. I still miss it till today.

[@walterbdixon]

I identified the Corrado as my all time favourite car back in my early years. Absolutely beautiful example you have here.

[@1D0N]

You can sell it once, but finding one again...

[@roberlini]

To wife: "I guess I'll have to sell the 'rado. I'm a grown up now and need to get rid of childish things like a purple VW." To self: "I'll list it at $24k so it won't ever sell hehe."

[@WheelieCool]

Bro, this made us both laugh so hard hahah! But, yeah, you nailed it man!! Thanks for the great comment! My wife wanted me to tell you thanks for calling me out! Cheers bro!

[@roberlini]

Sorry didn't mean to out you like that haha. You're a good husband for putting it up for sale! GLWS, keep making wheelie cool stuff and congrats on the house!

[@TheDarthSoldier]

If only you held out 6 more years... they're selling for 40k now

[@CypherC300]

Came here after listening to you on the GOG show. Really impressed at how well you capture the sound of the car. Better than any automotive show I can think of.

[@ThirdEyeScribe]

This video makes me miss my Corrado soooo f’n much. Got it for $5k from a dude in San Francisco who’d basically kept it in a garage for years and it only had about 50k miles on it. But it was my first car and unfortunately I totaled it being a dumb teenager. If only I could get one again...sigh. So many great times and that VR6 was just amazing. Great video bro!

[@YouTubeHandlesAreStupid]

I've begun to appreciate these far too late in my life.

[@dpunusaf]

Excellent videos man! Nobody on KZbin has captured how cool these cars are like you have! Great audio (exhaust note), interesting commentary, and I feel like you are a friend talking to me about your rides and family! Great job, keep it up man! Earned my subscription!

[@TheNardDog77]

Saw you on GOG, dope videos man. Keep it up

[@richardlovrich4357]

I test drove one and did not purchase it and have regretted that decision every time it has come to mind. A spectacular ride.

[@WheelieCool]

The one that got away, I feel ya! MK3 GTI or Jetta with a VR6 feel very similar but are much more affordable. I now have both to fill the void of my Corrado haha

[@ElReySupr3me]

The way you have modified the corrado is perfect. Suttle yet only a trained eye to see the details can spot everything you have done. GLWS!

[@QS-si3cq]

*Subtle 🤣

[@nedaCFilms]

Always liked these cars ❤ …my buddy had a G60 version back in the mid ‘90s. Have some great memories in it.

[@WheelieCool]

Very cool! Nostalgia is everything!

[@th3awsom3]

Kinda funny sent me! Subscription earned!

[@whiskeyactual.]

Love your VR6 Corrado man!

[@tnetroP]

I've owned a 1994 Corrado VR6 for almost seven years. I'm in the UK so we have the 190bhp version. I love this car and I can't ever imagine selling it. I always wanted one and finally bought it to scratch an itch. Then I fell in love with it so much. I've had some nice cars but it is, without a doubt, the best, most fun, most characterful car, I've ever owned, despite being one of the cheapest. It sounds fantastic (the VR6 was one of the best sounding six cylinder engines in my opinion) and is just the right balance between an older raw car and reasonably modern build quality. There are no drivers aids. There is no electronic steering. Your foot it literally connected to the amount of fuel and air that is injected into the engine. It's really weird watching videos like this with people loving the car. The enthusiasm is infectious and makes me want to go and buy one... until I remember I have one sat in my garage and could go out there right now and drive it. Mine doesn't have a leather interior and has a few bumps and marks. It's not as good condition as yours. But it does have the (genuinely rare) black cloth recaro interior. The car in this video is in superb condition and arguably the best colour (we call it blackberry in the UK). I know this is a couple of years late and it will be sold now. But it's such a shame to see you sell it. I was the opposite; my wife didn't want me to buy one but I just brought one home one day. I've had more attention in my Corrado VR6 than some exotic cars. I've had people wave at me on the motorway, people cross over the street to talk to me, and others stop me at the petrol station. There is a genuine love for this car. A few Storms were sold in the UK in early 1996 too. If you sold it then you dun goofed :)

[@turbointegra82]

Have been on the edge my whole life weather or not to like the Corrado and you just convinced me that I Do!

[@SKELETORBADMON]

I always loved the corrado. My shop teacher in high school had one. Super cool car.

[@irvonovisuals]

I have an S2 Scirocco as a project right now and of course I love the Corrado. Definitely see more Corrados then i see Sciroccos in town and on the internet in general. Hope everything works out at the end!

[@GrimmOutlook626]

Just watched your GOG episode, and you earned yourself a sub! Super nice ride! I've always loved these cars. Sadly, there are never any for sale in my area :(

[@taidokazu]

Just joined because Kinda Funny insisted. Looking great so far.

[@emanuelguerrero3634]

Came here from Kinda Funny! Now im subscribed

[@kelniktech1014]

Looove this car and definitely sold me to subscribing too. Corrado SLC and MKIV R32 hands-down best 2 VW's ever made. Daily my low-mileage R32 and could never sell her...I'd love to have a Rado this clean too though. If you haven't sold her yet and can afford to...KEEP IT! Looks like a REALLY nice example

[@pkstrategy]

Don't do it man! You will miss it! I know I would. Sounds great, looks awesome and I really love all the originality retained. Love your videos and Steve's images are so damn rad! We should touch base sometime about shooting mine? :)

[@prakashravi5279]

Love your videos dude! If you ever come over to the UK i have some rare cars for you to see!!

[@turboxide]

I'm in love with this car. Now I gotta own one someday!

[@weirdsquidmariomovies985]

beautiful car man....unbelievably mint. subscribed!

[@wazmanths]

My Dad a VR6 Hatch back, loved that car. The engine was a masterpiece.

[@AMomcilo1]

Gorgeous car, still remember my first Corrado I drove 17 years ago. My C55 is kind of the same color.

[@Jsanch23]

review people's feelings​ after they sell their Corrado

[@jiggy7928]

Nice looking corrado. A relative just picked up his g60 corrado out of state from Texas to California after sitting over a decade collecting dust. Its too bad you have to sell it, this is a classic car.

[@hectorcossyleon5220]

WOW, video quality does not match subscriber count! Feels like it should be hundreds of thousands of them. Awesome job with all of the shots. Kinda Funny sent me!

[@taforth]

Great car! Had a '94 from new. Sold it 12 years later for just over half of what I originally paid to the owner of two VW dealerships. With a few basic mods, it also made for a great track car. Embarrassed many other more expensive/'faster' cars at the track 😉

[@monica93304]

I've wanted this Corrado for the last 20 years. I will have one within a year.

[@304Hollywood]

This thing sounds excellent!!!!!

[@wizardmix]

I'd seriously consider it but I'm one of these guys that doesn't like a bombing loud exhaust, it just draws too much un-wanted attention. Whoever gets it is going to be stoked. I think it's one of the best looking cars VW ever made.

[@tnetroP]

I own one and have owned several VR6 engined cars in the past. It's not that loud at all, until you press hard on the pedal. It's actually failry quiet and civilised until you hit the upper rev range. Then it sounds like a swarm of bees arguing with chewbacca. It's a delight to hear.

[@luciangabriel5251]

Beautifull machine dude!

[@user-ju9vs2ek2t]

Nice car man, I actually saw your add on Craigslist like 4 days ago and thought damn nice car and stumbled on your videos yesterday but I hadn't figured out that it was the same car haha, well glws and the house is more important, I had always wanted a red Corrado VR6 since high school and I finally picked up one last weekend I'm so happy

[@Freedom-ik2ij]

Bryan Cabrera congrats on your new purchase man, what are the specs on the Rado? Motor?exhaust? Etc...was it molested or stock?

[@Freedom-ik2ij]

Guess u specified the motor already, haha

[@user-ju9vs2ek2t]

Patrick Zabron thanks Patrick yeah it's a VR6, it's stock except the interior but I'm looking to buy all the door cards to make it stock

[@deftones2684]

Hey nice intro music, digging the Camron.

[@quiksr20]

Totally Trippin hahha all bs aside gotta do what you gotta do sometimes... Ive had to let go a really cool project in the past.. Buying a house is awesome, Finally got to do that myself 2 years ago. So nice to finally have a garage to work on the rides in..

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

Great vid man

[@OlliL]

Subbed, cause this makes me miss my '92 16V in the same color Hahaha

[@SmokedRubber]

Damn it sounds good!

[@GregLopes]

Damn dude! Hard to let go of a car like this, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Hopefully it goes to someone who will really appreciate it.

[@ForTheLoveOfDriving]

fuuuuui need money now. I want a corrado soooo bad this car is perfect. good luck on the sale and congrats on the new house

[@ThirdEyeScribe]

My first car ever was this exact model except it was more of an aqua pine green...found it on Craigslist back in 2004 from a rich tech guy in San Francisco who hardly used it anymore and just wanted it gone FAST. He bought it new back in ‘94 and hardly put any miles on it before giving it to his mother who baby’d tf out of it for a few years then passed away and he had been storing it in his garage since like 1999 with the mileage at around 50k if I remember correctly. I only paid $5000 cash!!! Best car I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, like I said it was my first car so I didn’t treat it as well as I should’ve and got in an accident a few years after buying it... had to sell it banged up and it was one of the biggest regrets I’ve ever had that I didn’t keep it and restore it back to its former glory (I scraped a retaining wall so the entire driver’s side had a huge long dent). From reading the comments it seems everybody else feels the same 🤦🏻‍♂️. Sigh.

[@Speedyglx1993]

I almost bought this car for $12K back in the days when it was a turbo VR. Good luck with your sale.

[@mj4lyfe2009]

Love the choice of music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DANDYLOVE100]

Thank you for beautiful video ! Very clean car ! Legends csr! Best 90x years

[@urko7177]

That car is soo right for you

[@samflores4788]

I love the way it sound👍

[@justinb954]

DITTO

[@tnetroP]

God, that lovely VR6 sound

[@g60adam]

I'm speechless!!!! Boy you be trippin!!! lol, Stu..... we need to talk!!!

[@djkenny1202]

I love these cars. 25k is very very high. Maybe 10-15k, MAX. I will admit to seeing some insanely nice examples for 15 grand. Back when these were for sale, VW was discounting them down to 18 grand range. I have a 92 VW GTI 16v that was recently called a Unicorn by a guy when i got new Serpentine belts done. Heh. Love my car (I will never sell it, and it is nearly as nice condition as your Rado)

[@GoldenSolutionPlating]

well done as always i own a corrode G60 jet vey rare

[@Luckywrench]

what a beauty... I fell in love.

[@REALflat1]

I miss my 93 SLC, black on black. Soo fun to drive ....yeah i miss it.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

That is a cool ass car!

[@redlinexi]

Wish I could afford this. Such a beautiful car. GLWS

[@deejaycerebral]

Tears... I traded my 92 G60 Corrado with only 46k back in 98 for a freaking SUV!!!!!!! I'm going to play in traffic now! :(

[@superfast30]

I miss my MK3 GLX VR6!

[@rosseaton89]

Me too! 1995 flash red GLX

[@Charvel86]

What size tyres on the speedlines are these?

[@Jonvr6]

Car looks and sounds amazing mate, good luck with the sale but i dont think youll need any luck as its stunning.

[@WheelieCool]

+Jonvr6 Thanks Jon!!! Always need some luck when selling a car, so I really appreciate it! Thanks for the comment, cheers bro! 🍻

[@nelobrunomusico-consultant4628]

Pretty cool 😎 😍 🤩

[@hea5843]

This is one of many reasons why I'd NEVER get married or engage in a long term relationship. No person will ever over-prioritize my 1992 MK3 Golf VR6! I'm 40 years old and happily single. :-) What a loss man..... what a horrible loss.... But I honestly wish you all the best! :-)

[@kenalfred7242]

I know how you feel I sold my 91 one owned lady driven G60 and I missed it so bad. But good luck on the home.

[@alexfernandez7529]

I remember the G60 when I was in H.S. And then the VR6 SLC’s came out. I really wanted one and got sticker shock when I saw how much they cost at the time. North of $30K. I have had a 83’ Gti, 86’ Gti 16V, 86’ Scirroco 8v when I was in H.S. and bought a brand new 97’ Jetta GLX VR6 when I was in my early 20’s. I had a few friends that ended up with other performance cars instead of Corrado’s because they were easier to find and Corrado’s were expensive, you could buy Mustang GT’s and Camaro Z28’s and some BMW’s for less than what these cost. I remember someone who paid almost $40K for a Corrado SLC VR6 with all the bells and whistles. I sold my Jetta VR6 in the late 90’s and bought a used 98’ GTI MK3 VR6 with all the goodies like this Corrado. Absolutely loved the MK3 GTI. I ended up hanging on to the GTI for 12 years. What I likes about the Golf/GTI’s that I have owned was that there were soo many parts and aftermarket support for them. I hated my scirocco because it was so hard finding parts for that car. I remember the fuel injection system, air box and interior components were not shared with any other VW and it was so hard finding those parts when they required replacement. It’s always been expensive and a real pain getting parts for the VW Corrado as well. I pity a fool that buys a Corrado in bad shape. I’ve seen several G60’s that nobody wants to buy and a few VR6 Corrado’s that require too much work and Money. My brother in-law bought a Corrado VR6 with a Automatic trans. to fix and flip it. He had a hard time selling it. All the car enthusiasts wanted a manual transmission model and everyone else said it was too small! Anyways, big props on having a really nice Corrado SLC VR6.

[@incognito8219]

what a gem!

[@eatthisvr6]

glorious colour

[@leehulme9775]

What a beautiful vr6

[@raygeorge5809]

Bro, I regretted selling my red 93 vr6 unfortunately for me I moved back to London but enjoyed highway cruising and racing bimmers on the Long Island highways. I also took it to H20 once and many times to Waterfest. Currently looking for one here in London, hopefully I find a decent purchase.

[@drwisdom1]

Not that it matters since you are selling your Corrado, but my seat broke on my 88 GTI and I got Recaros to replace it. Then when I got my 92 Corrado I ordered brackets so that I could install my Recaros in the Corrado. Those brackets allowed me to set the seat height to much lower than stock so that I have a lot more headroom.

[@02jettagl]

I had a 92' Corrado SLC same color, but mine had the tan leather interior...I miss it so much...

[@johnyostler553]

if i was local would bought it all ready rare cool car best sounding moor!

[@Mk3Smith]

Love the Corrado and all the Volkswagen/Porsche Content man! One day ill get myself a Corrado lol my channel is Volkswagen based mainly with MK3s. I have two mk3s and a mk5 and my brother has two mk3s and a tdi beetle so its a full volkswagen house lol If you're over on the east coast we should try and meet up!

[@Mk3Smith]

Also I subbed to the channel haha

[@DavidToback]

Sad day to see that beaut go. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes. You know there will be more in the future! Tell the wife you get hang one of those badass pictures up in the house after the renovation wherever you want!

[@RGARDL]

top 3 best looking vw of all time are : golf mk1 coupe , corrado , new sirocco .

[@kdaly1]

U def trippin, but you gotta do what you gotta do bud. I would have bought it if I didnt just buy the Golf R. Hope you get to keep it! It will always be cool and cool cars are very expensive these days if you buy new. All the best!

[@gerdhollerwitz4911]

It is sad that you have to sell the Corrado, but your own house is a great thing and probably for eternity. I wish I could get the Corrado back to Germany

[@acorea44]

"She's making me do it. It's her fault. She's making me do it. I don't wanna do it, but she's making me do it." I laughed for 15 mins straight! Dope Corrado

[@Freedom-ik2ij]

Ariel Correa I love my wife too and she wouldn't even dare mention selling my Corrado. I'd sell her SUV and make her walk before I sold mine.

[@TheCbj79]

Nice car wood buy it... I got 3 of them but those are all G60. but still a amazing cars!

[@Tonigr]

Why is everyone so obsessed with cup holders???

[@DoogieLabs]

The cup holders that come in a B3 passat work in a Corrado perfectly. With that being said, anyone who is riding in any of mine are too busy holding onto whatever they can grab to brace themselves.. Drinking anything isn't even in the cards.

[@8eege]

Stay hydrated bro.

[@Freedom-ik2ij]

Doogie Rick fricken love your statement. I own a 93 Rado and I must say there has been quite a few times I wished it had a cup holder but i get over it quickly 😀

[@chadj77]

Tonito well where would i put my Yeti? lol

[@Si1983h]

They allow you to have a drink at hand on a long drive, pretty useful really.

[@Ivanskis]

I wish I had to cash!!!! This car has all the right upgrades!

[@blakeandert7974]

yup i subscribed also just because of the corrado keep it and turbo it!!!

[@blakeandert7974]

did you sell it? i have a better chip for it and 9lb flywheel will make it rev soo much faster. what flywheel is in the car now?

[@themisvespucci9894]

Sounds like a nissan I love that

[@fasterthanasupercar846]

Hope you kept it.

[@SoliiD]

just a question , i'm new to volkswagen. i own a mk7 gti now. without the performance pack.. if i put my mode to sport instead of comfort will it stiffen the suspension? i can't really tell the difference, the only thing i notice is the car makes a more sporty sound.. thanks..

[@burqueboy07]

If you're unable to enjoy it, sell it to someone who can and pass the torch

[@bryontriglianos6508]

Dude, you love that car...what are you doing?!? You just dialed it in, too. I wish you wouldn't sell it but as a homeowner I can certainly understand. It's gotta be a last resort because money will come...that car may not ever again

[@Blueoptimus12]

Beautiful Rado. Curious to know if it passes CA smog.

[@WheelieCool]

Haha, good question! I don't think kit would have in its current state because it was de-catted. I never had to smog it though, because it was purchased and sold out of state.

[@williamshelton3774]

Dude as a car guy you will totally regret that decision to sell and maybe even harbor a bit of resentment because of it.

[@RocketJohn]

I wonder why VW didn't just model this the Scirocco? Awesome car. Nice video!

[@WheelieCool]

+RocketJohn I agree, branding maybe. Lots of people thought it was a Scirocco when saying it around town. Such cool cars!

[@lexburen5932]

because those 2 where totally different. especially in europe where we got the 2.9 vr6 corrado with 296 HP

[@bkretschmann90]

This was actually the replacement or successor to the scriocco.

[@GAMING_BBK]

Mk3 Golf got a similar AC controls, are not the same :)

[@MrCsluggo]

No, don't sell it, it is beautiful! I had I Jetta glx vr6 that I traded for a Bmw 325ci and though the Bmw was great all I remember is that glx, that vr6 was so strong n smooth. Years later I traded a Bmw 330ci for a Bmw 545i which too was another car that I regret trading in for. Those two cars still linger in my mind!

[@andymitchell5882]

Damn, what a car. If I didn't owe 20k on my Golf R it would be mine :)

[@oldshield]

I cant believe you are selling this. I am never selling mine

[@WheelieCool]

I know bro! Lots of good cars out there, this one is the "coolest" tho!
