Anyone know any Info about this RS500

silky16v · 12-09-2008, 05:12 PM

http://www.rscosworthbreakers.co.uk/home.html

I have been sent some addition pictures but looking at the engine bay ones i'd say its done 70,000+ and the fact the odometer reads exactly 32000 and the numbers don't seem to line up has got a lal bit worried

i appricate that the car could have been stood and it just needs a dam good clean but any info anyone has on it would be great

Is that a 'Turbosystems' sticker on the rear, right side of boot?

Looks a bit shabby, Nice rims though

Wayne Ash · 12-09-2008, 05:27 PM

do you remember anything about it though

Munch · 12-09-2008, 05:40 PM

you thinking of buying it then?

fordrs2005 · 12-09-2008, 05:42 PM

i have seen genuine miles cars do that before with the numbers not lining up correctly and definatly havent been tampered with but the engine bay certainly does,nt look 32000 miles more like 132000 but saying that with a car that age its the same as any it just depends who was looking after it , but as said above ad give paul a ring thats ure best bet for 500 info

Spiky · 12-09-2008, 06:39 PM

to me, its a bit sus being smack on 32000 ????

indycos · 12-09-2008, 06:58 PM

how much is it up for? could just need a good clean

p.s. spotted fast ford stickers on the strut brace

RS LOZWORTH · 12-09-2008, 07:00 PM

that is very strange that its bang on 32000, def looks like its done 132000 but who knows

polly_x · 12-09-2008, 07:07 PM

The focus 4x4 Cossie they have looks good too for £7K

My godson has them on his bedroom door, doesnt make it any better though

bigpower · 12-09-2008, 07:10 PM

That engine looks terrible! Like people said 132K looks more like it!

Whats with all the oil around the heatshield? the STELLA can near the injectors?

Id check the history and maybe try and speak with previous owners?

Lot of money to outlay if dodgy

Munch · 12-09-2008, 07:14 PM

acorrding to the site, its had 2 owners & has FSH

jameswrx · 12-09-2008, 07:14 PM

Pictures do lie though and for all be know the car could have been raped for 32000 miles then stood on a driveway by the seaside for 15 years!

LHD220Turbo · 12-09-2008, 07:23 PM

something sint quite right about that car - if it was a genuine 32,000 miles car with only 2 owners, i'm pretty sure they would have kept it in better nick than that

always go with gut instincts!

also; where are all the engine bay stickers; surely the would be still in tact after 32k? -
ask for a pic of the seat bolster, pedals and carpet - another tell tale sign

also contact paul off here - rs500 registrar

paceo · 12-09-2008, 07:32 PM

from what i can see it looks like its on 132k any mot certs to back this up if it is on 32k ?

3i_gaz · 12-09-2008, 07:32 PM

dosent look a high miler to me, dosent look stone chipped to death with faded clocks, lights etc...

looks like its been somebodys pride and joy back in the day then jsut layed up for a good few years

kiddie · 12-09-2008, 07:32 PM

has he sent you any pictures of the drivers seat?

indycos · 12-09-2008, 07:50 PM

is the front grille cable tied on?

the youth · 12-09-2008, 08:03 PM

the speedo never lines up exactly as it turns to the next full "thousand" it takes a few k to line up, so that explains that!
also that could well be low mileage as certain parts under the bonnet seems in better condition than you would have expected of a high miler/ unloved engine bay the actuater is better than expected (easy changed tho before you all shout lol)

I tend to believe what the seller says, my gut instinct on cars is very good and so far I have never got it wrong and bought a lemon

as said paul is the man to speak to..

steve

Stavros · 12-09-2008, 08:08 PM

looks like its been standing for a LONG time rather than done a lot of miles to me

costina · 12-09-2008, 08:29 PM

They always seem to have 500's and a lot of spares for them aswell

I find that a little strange when theres a lot of RS breakers about

Cragrat · 12-09-2008, 08:36 PM

surely a car like a 500 previous owners would have kept mileage related

docs mots,service history etc,i`ve got every mot and road tax and its just

a 3dr

IT'S says, VIN number 38628 (in picture)is build no 26 ,engine should be YBD. 0080
IMHO. the milage don't look right.

silky16v · 13-09-2008, 12:06 PM

Bump!

Magnex20011 · 13-09-2008, 12:12 PM

as I have already said they are very rarely exactly spot on as it turns to the next full thousand, take one apart like I have and you will see why

steve

col cos1 · 14-09-2008, 01:34 PM

they seem to have alot of well priced cars

that focus
mk1 escort cosworth £6500

and that other 500 thats sold for £13,000 looked very good value for money

Crowder · 14-09-2008, 01:38 PM

well the mots wont lie! unless they all look new and are done at the same garage

v man · 14-09-2008, 01:45 PM

if you get it cheap enough just break it up for spairs i will have the turbo and inlet straight away in fact i will even come take it off for ya the moment you get it lol
