Hi all, I'm new to this forum as you can see from my post count!

I have a couple of questions.....I'm at the time of my life where I can afford to buy a car that I have always wanted ie. a little spare money and able to afford the insurance (due to aging).
I'm looking at a MK2 RS as I've always loved fords (my 1st cars was a 1976 Mk2 Escort, My current one is a black Focus zetec S..sporty looking and a great family car)
Do you all think its a good buy as an investment and to use as my daily?....I will be keeping it a long time and keep it standard.
The mk 1 RS is picking up in value steadily and I can't see it dropping down in value again......the MK2 RS in my veiw is the last of a kind in a few ways, let me explain.
The mk2 is probbaly going to be the last FWD RS,
Probably the last with a great sounding engine (the exhaust sounds great on the mk3, but the 5 cyl engine on the mk 2 is what gets my juices flowing,
Possibly the last wild/imposing looking one (Ford have taken the RS to the USA, and they like them a little more subdued),
and for the same reason as the last point, the mk2 is possibly going to be the last 3 door.
I think they may drop a little in price over the next couple of years but then head upwards........What do you all think?
I would really appreciate honest opinions from you lads and lasses that have been around the scene for a while.


Thanks in advance
John
