Default something is not right here

Was having a flick through the midland auto trader at work today, saw a car that i think might interest a few ppl,

Its advertised as a Ford sierra XR4x4, 3.2i twin turbo, full cosworth trim and body kit, 5 door hatch,

Now here is the real good bit, the car is advertised by a dealership, taken in px, and they are only asking £1750

Is it just me or does seem to good to be true

it's an XR4x4
they don't fetch as much money no matter what's been done to them compared to a cossie

you want to know what conversion it is and how it's running before even going to have a look though, if it's a bad un it's going to cost you to fix it
if it's a good un you'll have the time of your life hooning around in it

looks like it's an 89 car
the RS option side skirts as well as the white grille and the oversized tyres might put people off, get them sorted and i'd have a better look at it

Id like to see proof before id pay out though.

3.2 means long stroke crank etc.

Anyone can say they got a bigger engine, but without proof its not worth it as people all bullshit about stuf like that.
