Default My RS2000 4x4 for sale on Pistonheads

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3040224.htm

Here is my ad on Pistonheads. Really going to miss this brilliant little car.

************************************************** ****************************

The time has come for me to sell by beloved RS2000 4x4. Only 600 of these models made, and I am very privileged to have owned an example in this excellent condition.

She has bright radiant red paintwork thanks to being regularly polished.

The arches are in perfect condition with no rust or signs of bubbles. They have also been rolled inwards for a smoother finish.

The underside is in very good condition too. Chassis rails are perfect, rust free and need not be touched. The drivers side sill is in perfect condition and has never been touched. The passenger side has had VERY minor weld repair aswell as a small patch to the front of the floor. The seat anchor points are perfect too.

The car is commented more at garages for the underneath of the vehicle!

She passed her MOT recently with NO ADVISORIES. None of the usual worn bushes, oil leaks, leaking shocks or wishbones.

This is one of those cars, that you can get in and drive anywhere.

Timing chain and tensioner replaced.
Transfer box replaced.
Alternator replaced.
Engine and transfer box oil changed 2000 miles ago.
New genuine Ford clutch 22,000 miles ago.

Stainless steel Magnex exhaust with decat pipe.

RS7 softline alloy wheels with very little kerbing and excellent tire tread. No bents, buckles or dents.

I have replaced the Recaro seats with a better set as their was a little sagging on the old ones. The new ones are in unmarked condition with no rips, tears or sagging.

Rear headrests.
Ford 6006E 6CD in-dash multi-changer.
Electric windows
Electric mirrors
Sunroof
Painted rocker cover
Strut brace
Panel filter
Roose Motorsport hoses (red)
Rear disk model
Grooved front discs
Green stuff pads
Braided brake hoses
Heat wrapped manifold
Stainless manifold cover
New 'Escort' & 'RS2000' badges
Cobra alarm

121k miles with full service history. Do not let this put you off at all. She drives faultlessly and I invite anyone to come and inspect her. She pulls very well when needed or cruises along without any hesitation whatsoever.

11 Months MOT
3 Months TAX

I love this car to bits and it really pains me to have to sell her. I am open to offers on the price but not in a rush to sell.

Only selling as I dont want to run 2 cars anymore. I am therefore selling both and looking to buy something different. If anyone wants to buy a Chevrolet Camaro either then let me know!

I have lots more pictures available on request.

Thank you for looking and don't hesitate to contact me.

Darren

£2,650 - Offers invited

Would my car and some cash from me to you be of interest mate as your car is just what I am looking for!

My car.....



Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec ESP Estate in sapphire blue

First registered in 04/01/01
MOT till February 22nd 2012
Tax till December 2011
Full Ford service history
1 previous owner (Chap in his late 60's)
In excellent condition inside and out, the back seats were never even sat in until I bought the car!

The service history is incredible with all the stamps in the service book....

As follows....

Godfrey Davis (Ford dealership) mileage, 3,962 on the 27/6/01
CD Bramall Ford....Milage 14,266 on the 18/07/02
CD Bramall Ford....Mileage 29,510 on the 29/4/03
CD Bramall Ford....Mileage 39,452 on the 12/4/04
CD Bramall Ford....Mileage 51,243 on the 5/1/05
Evans Halshaw Ford....Mileage 75,770 on the 4/10/06
Evans Halshaw Ford....Mileage 86,846 on the 4/12/07 (Cambelt replaced on this service using a genuine Ford belt)
Evans Halshaw Ford....Mileage 96,746 on the 3/1/09
Carserv UK.... Mileage 105,720 on the 22/1/10
Carserv UK....Mileage 113,577 on the 19/01/11

I have done the following with all receipts in the past 1,000 miles..... New HT leads, Bosch Super 4 plugs, OE Airfilter, OE oil filter, Oil being Castrol Magnatec fully synthetic 5/30. New discs and pads front and rear, Extreme Brilliance bulbs at £25.99 each, rocker cover gasket, TB cleaned as well as all breather pipes. Airbox modification with direct feed. My car made 133bhp on the rollers last month so a very nice and healthy engine considering they are 130bhp as standard.

Apart from the discreet airbox modification she is totally standard.
Her original Ford 16" alloys are all in fantastic condition with not scrapes or chunks taken out and are all on the same make of tyre being Yokohama. Both rears have 6mm tread and both fronts have 5mm tread.

Her creature comforts include....

Heated front and rear screens
Freezing cold aircon....(Re-gassed May 2010)
Anti locking brakes
ESP which is basically traction control. This really is fantastic but can be turned off by a touch of a button by the handbrake if for some reason you don't want it on!
Central locking off the key
Kenwood CD player with Ipod connection
Remote boot off the key or can be done from inside the car
Electric windows
Drivers and passenger airbags (Don't know if these would be classed as a creature comfort as its the only extra on the car I have really never wanted to try!)

As from her history above and having one owner from new you can tell she has been very well loved. I have all the original handbooks in their folder and also a folder full of receipts of all work that has been carried out over her years that total to over £5,000! This includes all the Ford service receipts, tyres, cv boots, bulbs.....The previous owner kept every receipt for my car....It has to be seen to be believed!

I can honestly say you really will be hard pushed by to find a 2001 Ford Focus 2.0 ESP Zetec in her condition as well as all her history with only 1 previous owner.

She drives like new, no unwanted noises, pulls well in all gears and stops in a straight line. Parkers guides quote my car doing 0-60 in 9.0 and onto a top speed of 125mph. I get 33-34mpg around town and 38-40mpg on a run.











Any questions, please ask.

Will try my best to raise the cash for your car bud as she is exactly what I am after!

I will put mine on Ebay..... What price do you think I will get for her then I can have a rough idea to how much I need to raise?

Thanks again

Thank you mate.

I spoke to a friend of mine who works at Ford today and an MOT tester I have known for years.....Looking between £1,450-1,500. I have had some interest so if all goes to plan I will be buying yours off you
