A how much is it worth post
This is taken from a for sale post on another forum.. i've cut the price out that I want but I want to know whether im asking too much or not.
this is not a for sale post.
All bits I posted on here have now been fixed, its booked in a service on the 11th so will be done then whether or not it has been snapped up.
Good Points:
Samco hoses throughout the engine bay
Brand new battery
Sigma Cat 1 alarm and Immobiliser with proximity sensors and internal movement sensors
3.5 tailgate has been put on at some stage, no sign of any replaced panels so I dare say it was either for updating the look or cosmetic.
Heated front and rear screen
All lights, windows, etc. etc. are etched with the no. plate and are original.
Interior is the best I have ever seen, there is NO WEAR at all on either of the seats, no burns, rips, tears or wear. they are 100% clean and mint.
Old panels have been changed e.g petrol cap and sills.
Bad points: (being VERY harsh here)
Drivers door has dropped but I have the new pins for the door.
Slight dent in the bonnet where the charge carrier has jumped up and gave it a tickle.
Engine is a bit tappy, needs an oil change so will be carried out before the buyer buys the car along with the service.
Rear spoiler has a couple of slight paint blemishes, hardly noticeable.
Wheels are a bit kerbed but still look good.
Thats about it, there are no other problems with the car at all.
HPI clear, MOT until July of next year, tax runs out end of November. HPI valued at £3100. Loads of reciepts will be Serviced before collection to the buyer if price is met.
Its in radient red with full service history, last service it had new plugs, leads, air filter, oil filter, petrol filter, Mobil 1 oil, pollen filter, 2 new tyres and cambelt was changed.
Absolutey mint example with no rust WHATSOEVER on the vehicle. I have been praised many a time about the condition of the car and will be gutted when it gets driven away. I bought this as I have wanted one since I first got into fords, I love it, in every way possible it is the car I expected. Since I have had it, I have had a Magnex full system put on the car, and lowered it 30mm on springs. It handles pretty well and goes like stink. It did used to have a dump valve fitted but I removed it for the chatter which sounds absolutely spot on.
It comes with full service history bar 2 stamps which were missed before my time. Throughout the service book there are stamps with mobil 1 oil being used which is good to know.
The petrol cap has no rust at all, no bubbling, nothing what-so-ever as it has been changed.
Underneath is solid as a rock but has had the sills replaced, not that you would know but its better to beat the rust than fight it.
The engine runs sweet as a nut, no knocks, no rattles, no smoke, nothing. The only time it smokes is on a cold start for the 1st 30 seconds until it is warm, just because the stainless exhaust builds up condensation, it never did it before I had the magnex exhaust. The turbo is mint and spools and holds boost right through to 5k.
It has an autogauges boost gauge in a custom carbon fibre heater pod to the drivers side which lights up with the rest of the dash.
Reason for selling? What can I say, it costs me at my age a fucking fortune to run and I just can't keep on. I'll probably get another in due course. I've had my time in the car and love it but want something that I can hop in everyday and use without being worried about racking up mileage or damaging.
I don't really know what else to say, this is your chance to own a good example of an RS turbo and I will be gutted when it gets driven away because it just puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it.
More pics available just ask. :Q
