Question Noob needs help, kinda a buyers guide.

Hello,


Ok so i know i dont post alot but i hope to change that as i need to ask alot of stuff and find me a cosworth of my own!

My first plan was to buy a rolling shell thats abit batted up and do everything slow but the shells are to much to buy when i can get a running one for about £4000-6000.

Can someone please tell me things to look out for as i have never brought an old car.

Sierra Sapphire 4wd is what i hope to look for

Some Questions:

Are they 4WD or AWD?
If they break are they a cheap quick fix?
Are they going up in price? if so i better find one quick.
Whats all this i hear about de-locking? Good idea?
Can the engines be rebuild easy so its like a fresh engine?
Do they drink ALOT? As in 15 MPG.
Can you get this on a classic insurance?

Sorry if i am dumb... cant help it

Many Thanks Eigdoog
