Couple of spelling mistakes pal.....

but reads ok.....

Ford Escort Cabriolet Ghia 1.8 zetec

It's had 4 previous owners and the one before was me..(current owner is my mother)

It's an all round nice clean car.. Everything electric works including the power hood, all 4 windows as well as the mirrors..Nice little runner all the gears are smooth with no knocks,bangs or any smoke under load..

Overall the body is in very good condition with all the arches being absolutely fine everything is colour coded bumpers and wing mirrors it does have a couple of stone chips on the bonnet but again nothing outrageous but a stone did smash one of the fog light lens in the bumper and I've never replaced it.. (actually I only found out today when I took the pictures)

Being the Ghia it has heated front and rear screen as well as a wood effect dash..

The roof has no tears as far as I can see and is in quite good condition but could do with a proper valet to make mint..

Also included in the sale will be the head unit which is an Alpine 9855r which you should look up on the net.. plays mp3's as well as controlling your ipod if you get the accessory for it..

It does have a couple of faults that are minor but I have reflected this in the price the faults are.. ISCV is a bit sticky which is very very common on the zetec engines which causes a poor idle when cold, Front windscreen is cracked but not in an obtrusive way and it could do with some new wheels as the ones on it are a bit scuffed and look it too. (if I have no luck selling I will fix the bits and then the price will obviously be raised accordingly) I've listed these faults as I want to be completely honest about the car and you know exactly what needs doing to it but you can drive it now and not fix anything as the idle problem is only when cold.

I've set the reserve at £1350 as I think that’s a fair price reflecting the faults.. If I get everything fixed I will be re-listing for a minimum of £1850

Your more than welcome to come and view the car before auction end but the winning bidder has bought the car not to come and try and get it cheaper..

Corrected for you.... cos i'm dead bored......
