Default saff cossy value-help please

right mr x has got a neauvue? red k-reg 4x4 cosworth.

good points-

nice leather interior.
stacks of history.
near standard.
dump valve
full stainless
38k from new apparently however this is doubtful in my mind.

bad points-

rust scabs on back arches
rust scab on front nearside wing
lacuquer peeling on back quarter and near bonnet vents.
peppered with stone chips on the front
engine is louder than mine and mines done 98k
brakes seized on
been sat for 2years i think never been run.
needs a cambelt and oil leak from the rocker sorting because thats leaking on to the cambelt.
no tax or mot.

judging by the bodywork and how dirty the engine is i cant see it having done 38k from new,and it seems to have a loud tap from top end which could be tired followers? doesnt seem to be as quiet as mine anyway,he reckons the car has always been outside but cant see how the wing and arches and lacquer has peeled on 38k,i think its more 138k.

him and a couple of his mates think its a 4k plus car all day,i dont so want to see what the rest of the ford boys think.

he paid just over 5k for it but thats too low for a genuine 38k car isnt it?

he seems to think the bloke didnt know what he had or was so rich he wasnt bothered.

so opinions welcomed
