Looks decent in the photos, just goes to show you can never judge a car by a few photos, especially when it's an RS that's the large part of twenty years old!

have you ever thought mayb because there a recessionn on there was no money left to spend on it hence the sale i told you everything you wanted to know even with you ringing me at 7 in the morning and about 5times a day asking questions that you could have asked on the day,
i thought you were a decent bloke but spose you can never go on first impressions,

This is y there is loads of ford's sitting on people's drives rottin away because people cant afford to keep them going and people like you slag them to the ground, and they dont sell so they sit on the drive rotting.

or you just neglect em ya didnt tell me anywhere near any of the stuff that was fount when i got there, reason i kept asking is cuz i had to travel a very long way and i was going be without a car so if the car was as u said it was then i was going have it, but it wasnt at all

anyway if i was u id change ur advert on pistonheads to something more honest as its not good condition its nowhere near and list everything thats needed then people wont have a wasted journey like me and people might not be as nice as i was as well
