up up up and away... Escorts are in the "dip" at the moment, same as 3 doors went through a few years ago, and saffs went through as well. Now you cannot get a clean 3 door for anywhere under 7-8k really, and saffs are 4-5k for a half decent one, both models a few years ago were making 20-30% less than that.....
Escorts will drop (as they have been doing), then come back at very strong money as they are a true classic, much like the 3 doors, and saffs will get much rarer and hence more ££.
