'Cor' is the Romany term for stealing. To go choring vehicles is in their vocabulary.

Maybe they were offering to lift it for you?

As above: I don't know under what circumstances you heard this but if you were trying to barter with someone & offered them less than they were willing to accept they could say 'are you trying to cor us?' i.e. are you trying to rob me.

Asking them to repeat themselves in English is surely the best course of action?
