Default Problems with Escos I looked at today

Hi guys, as some of you will now, I went and looked at an aubergine Escort Cosworth today. I mainly went because it was close to me, and I knew before I got there that there were a couple of faults with it. It's up for £10995, and the seller paid £13999 for it this time last year, It's done 90,000 miles, and looked okay in the pictures. The guy who owns it was very honest and an all-round top bloke who didn't try to hide anything

Here is a list of the problems:

Rust on both arches and bottom of the boot lid.
Not boosting correctly (only goes half way up the boost gauge, even though it's meant to be stage one chipped - my near standard Focus would eat it).
Bulb out on the dash clocks (is this bad? Someone told me they need new clocks if this is the case)
Leather worn quite badly on the passenger seat base.
No service history (but almost all old MOTs).
No clue as to when the cambelt was last done.
No stereo (either of them)
Noisey power-steering pump
MOT & tax up next month.


The point of this is what sort of money do you guys think this is worth?
