people think because its a classic the parts are worth classic prices as well. Scrapyards don't get in older cars now as most have either been scrapped or stored away so the supply is drying up. Its a shame, some of the best fords i've had cost me absolute peanuts or been given to me but I know i'll never have another escort/sapphire due to the cost and parts supply problems. Ruined it for me unfortunately.
