1993 Volkswagen Corrado SLC – REVISIT

Time to look at another Corrado SLC that’s crossed these pages before; back in July, I wrote up this very clean looking 1993 example with some stellar BBS RSs. Unfortunately, the car is an automatic and the big stereo was a turn off; I guessed this car would likely trade hands in the high single digits. Well, it’s back up for sale with a different seller, a pretty extensive gallery of photos showing the very good detailing job they did and a new higher price. It also inexplicably now has 26 miles less than it did last time. Now for offer at $10,900, I don’t see any reason that it’s worth more than it was the first time around. I’d still peg the value between $8,000 and $9,000; for nearly $11,000, I’d much prefer to offer a bit more and try to nab the pristine 1992 5-speed we featured with 100,000 miles less. What do you think is top dollar for this car?

For many enthusiasts, the Corrado SLC VR6 is still the ultimate Volkswagen – but even if it’s not, you can respect what a solid piece of engineering it was. The Corrado was really a Halo car for Volkswagen in many ways, and while the G60 motor was a bit underwhelming for the weight of the Corrado, the VR6 provided the right soundtrack and power output to rightly place the coupe amongst one of the best front wheel drive cars ever produced. These superb 2-doors have never really gotten very cheap, but that’s generally been good for enthusiasts now – by being a premium product, the Corrado has in general been kept out of hands that were incapable of keeping them in good condition. What we get, then, are occasionally a great example of a coupe that really performed on the level of many sports cars, but still offers Volkswagen practicality and enough room for 4:

In my mind, black suits these cars the best – they just look sinister and so clean. The BBS RS wheels are a nice edition from a show standpoint, but I still think the original 5-spoke Speedline wheels or BBS RZ wheels fit the style of the car a bit better. Inside, the black leather appears to be in good shape and the car overall presents well. It was obviously enthusiast owned, as the giant stereo, Neuspeed bits, RS wheels and clean condition will attest to. The major downside is the automatic transmission; not the worst thing in the world if you want a show car, but if you’re looking to drive the 90s VW automatics were pretty dim-witted. Bidding has yet to start despite the rarity and clean presentation; that’s likely due to the high $10,000 starting point. As the miles aren’t lower and the car is an automatic, I think it will be hard for it to overcome this initial bid; I’d venture that it’s more likely a high single-digit car than one that exceeds $10,000. Despite this, it’s certainly nice to look at and I’m sure there’s many a Corrado fan that wishes their car looked like this one!
