Default selling escorts?

what are peoples experiances selling up lately as we are thinking of putting ours on the market next year but still havnt decided

are they selling for what they are worth or the goods ones only fetching a few grand ?

probably wont sell but dont want it just sitting there

well mines been up for sale for about 3 months now and had sod all intrest. not sure why really, been told its abit of an over inflated market at the mo with loads of dogs going really cheap. so buyers wont spend the money. surly makes more sence to spend abit more on a good solid car??? go figure

it'll take a long time for that to happen, every year they ALL get rustier

gotat be said would you really wanna pay more than a couple of grand for a 20 year old escort?

i couldnt unless i had it apart to make sure it wernt a rotter vehind teh kit etc etc, even then i could never spend that much on a old rs cos ive been thru too many cheap 1's to enjoy a polished up 1

i prefer dogs that can be abused then broken tho

I had someone come and look at mine, even his dad told him that she's solid but he went and bought one that was mint outside but rotten underneath all cos he was worried about the violet flake and wanted to spend les money he said...he hadn't even seen it in light so how would he know what it looked like DOH!

lot of mugs out there, i looked at quite a few before getting mine and i couldnt beleive the amount of dogs out there.

i wish people realised how much hard work it takes to maintain an old car and not just lash it up for a sale!!
