dunno, but going by his other bin add @ 8250, hes after 8k for it.
This one was for sale for 9k on here a few weeks ago and sold, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-SIERR...-/151594329394
the new owner, seems to change the price on ebay daily, its also on BIN for 12k now! , not bad for a reshelled car!

SIERRA RS 4X4 COSWORTH
I would say ;
10k budget for a Sapphire you dont have to touch and should be in A1 condition.
Under 10k for a all year round usable car that will swallow cash .... 24/7
Over 10k for a summer use show queen in standard spec

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
8-9 would get a good useable tidy saph IMO I think it's worth spending more in the first place and get a better base as a cheaper car will only want more spending on sorting out niggles straight away and you've spent the same but one you've spent more time fixing than driving lol

Agree with above, that white one is a mess. Description isn't much better.
I've been looking for a Saff as well and not too fussy on colour, or what wheel drive, just want a tidy and useable car for nice days and shows. Got a couple in mind but owners are reluctant to sell!

With good quality cosworth's getting very rare these days with alot of them being broken up etc etc and with numbers falling.Does anyone reckon that LHD versions will command good or strong money now or in coming years?

I buy on condition not miles or history. Bills from years ago stating its had 30 types of dump valve or 4 sets of springs makes no odds.

imo from i'v seen 8k will get you tidy saph.
im old enough to remember when the floor fell out of them value not floor lol. Brian Ashley of ASHLEY EXHAUSTS offered my dad his white E reg saph for £3.5k it was mint but no one would insure them.

The best cosworth by far was the RWD sapph, not the best looking or the dearest or most sort after but still the best.
Don't care for the escort, never interested me nor the 4x4 sapph, owned an RS500 which was very disappointing in standard trim after having a stage 3 sapph.
However because of the numbers made so many good cars have been broken and are still being broken, not as many left now as you'd think, most are scrap, polished turds that are a minefield of problems but still command good money, I'm sure a good one should be found for under 10k though.
Building mine back up from scratch so I know everything is as it should be and as many new parts as I can find, hopefully on the road by summer.
Reckon including buying the car it will have cost me 10k by the time I'm done.

I'd love an escort and that's what ill be going for next as I've already got a saff. As much as I love 3drs, they are commanding big money now, so I'd opt for an escort.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Have you seen how much Escort Cosworths are selling for now? No longer much different to a 3 door price. By the way love your Sapphire, you must have put a lot of time and money into it to get it up to that standard.

The 35k+ ones don't seem to be selling at all from what I've seen, 16-25k seems to be what they actually go for.

If, and its a big 'if'.............. but if that car ^^ is as described then that seems to be a sensible price. Probably my least favourite colour for a Saph, but realistic money if it isn't a shitter.
