Default Escort Cosworth lux### price drop### £12595

For sale is my ash black escort cosworth it is M reg and is a large turbo

I have owned her for two and a half years now but it is now time to sell as i would like to have the focus rs.

I bought it standard looking and with the mods for 330 bhp but the chip was letting it down and holding it back on boost so i changed the chip and now is running 332bhp with graph last year i also had it rr and it was 338bhp so pretty much the same.

Mods:-

18" comps
quad lights
koni suspension with cobra springs
dark greens
3 map bar sensor
uprated fuel pump
mongoose exhaust
EA chip
pipercross air filter
A pillar pod with boost gauge

Earlier this year the head gasket went so it now has a cometic head gasket set put on along with new tappets, stem seals, cam belt etc what ever it needed i got it done.

The rear spoilers have been re painted from bubbling paint work and also the front bumper is painted it also did have rust on the drivers and passengers doors but that is also now gone, this has all been painted to a high standard and matches brilliantly. Bodywork is in great condition, it has mainly been used as a weekend car.

It has an alarm and tracker monitor fitted.

It has had an oil and filter changed every 4k using silkolene pros 10-50, i bought the car with 59k on the clock and it now has 76k so only 17k in 2.5 years. Recently changed both front track control arms as they were worn.
It has lots of history all bills from what i have done and lots from previous owners. Old mot's from 25k, it currently has 9 months mot and 5 months tax.

Contact me via e mail or phone as i do not come on here much as i dont have a computer at my new home but can check e mails from my mobile.

Why is it that escorts are up for sale for months and months?????????????

Is it the final realisation that there actually not worth what the owners are asking and that in order to shift them the prices get reduced???????????

I went to look at a k reg motorsport for 8k and there was nothing wrong with it, just had 4k pent on a full egine rebuild and turbo, 1k spent o respray a year ago, even the milage wasnt high at 70k

The used car market is always quiet this time of year. 90% of cars of this type struggle to sell. That doesnt mean there not worth it mate, as im pretty sure most good ones will no doubt sell in a few months time. People who are desperate to sell will always price them lower than its true worth, to get rid quickly, but people with these cars tend to persevere and wont let a good car go for peanuts, just because of the time of year, and rightly so imo.

Forgot to mention it hasd loads of history with it, everythibg i have done plus lots from previous owners. It also has old mot's from 25k.

It has 9 months mot and 5 months tax.


Alps, if you went to look at one which was 8k with nothing wrong with it why didnt you buy it????? Mine is worth the price its up at ok i am open to offers as i would like to sell it quite quickly, but its not say a 12 grand car no way.

i have had peeps ring me asking what it is like and then saying well it doent have big brakes mate and i really wanted one with them on well in that case go pay £14+ grand for a esc cos with them on people want a mint cos, low miliage, all the spec for 12k it pisses me off.

I wasnt insinuating your car wasn't worth the money bud cause it probably is.

I might have the 8k motorsport on sunday if the lad who put the deposit down fucks him about, i have the 8k sat next to me on me bed.

Anyway good luck with the sale bud it looks a nice 1

Stunning car mate

Just hold out and do not drop your price.

You just need the right person to see the add.

Best of luck with the sale

Thanks lads, i was beginning to think i was over pricing it. Its hard to price it up when you look at others which look nice and have the same sort of bits for less money. I do think mine is clean and worth the money so i will hold out then. Cheers

you have been banging on about this for ages now, where's your mint low milage lux car for 9k? Oh, there isn't such a thing - If you want one, you buy one, simple , hence why prices remain high, as more people want one than are for sale, and if people DON'T sell them for the cash they want they keep them...... hardy a degree in economics is it?

A good escort cosworth will ALWAYS be worth top money, just look at 3 doors, a few years ago they were 4-5k for a rough one, hardy ANY for sale now, good ones are fetching9-10k+ easy. Also, remember a LOT of good quality cars never go up for sale, as they are sold before they are even for sale, RSOC cars tend to get sold to other members quite a lot......

Ian, nice car, I recon that will go for 13k in the spring easy

Just a quick one to any potential buyers, i know the car very well and its a excellent example of an esccos, and priced very reasonable for the spec/condition, the first person to see this car in the flesh will definatley be the buyer. Good luck with the sale Ian

Hi mate, beautiful car. If i sell my flat in time and get stuff sorted out i'll be in touch.

Just one thing though, on one of the pics it looks like it has big brakes, but on one of the others it looks to have standard ones, did i miss anything or is it the way it looks in the photos?

Free bump for a beautiful car.

Very best of luck to you.
