You might have something there Lee. I paid less than most of them are selling for now for both of my Escort Cossies, and they were both minters. I think the market has narrowed a lot for them now though with the price of fuel etc. And of course the new cars are just more usable, like my Mondeo, okay it's no Cossie but it's totally reliable, quick, loaded with kit and easy to live with, you can use it every day and stack loads of miles on it without it costing any more than any other normal car.
