Got out of the Ford scene about 6 months ago when I broke my Series 2...I've bought the 106 Rallye in my sig [which I plan do do a few track days in this year and general B road blasts etc...] and as much fun as it is I can't stop thinking about selling and spunking some cash on a well specced saff [I've never had a Cossie and always said I would have one at some point].

I like these two:

What do you think? Yay or Nay

 

DO IT

 

Both are very nice cars IMO

 

Go for it, you`ll always be wondering else oh, did i mension you`ll always be broke though if you get one

 

both them saphs are well nice

do it m8 you only here once you could look back and think i wish i did

 

Of course you should. Everyone who gives serious thought of owning should do it. If you dont like it 6 months down the line and providing you havent crashed it, you will get your money back

 

id look about though as theres cheeper cars out there with decent specs,,,, 7k for a saph is MENTAL imo,,,,, 5k tops imo

seen a few decent ones about for 4k this time of year too

 

Should you not add on the end of that, blown the engine

Do it mate..

It would be a second car....

The only things putting me of are the fact I like doing track days and I think the Pug would be more competant round a track and also my favorite type of driving is B-Road blasts which the Saff again probably won't be as competant at.

But they look so cool and a QUICK in a straight line

 

See what you're saying but my theory nowadays is buy the best top spec car you can afford and it'll pay off in the long run [less bills during ownership, better re-sale value and the fact you get to enjoy a MINT car!]

 

Saff's can be made to handle with the right bits put on them.

 

You WILL NOT find better mate!

 

john as much as i kind of agree with you,,,,, there are good cars for the money about

them cars are being sold for almost the same cash as Rhys,,,, but hes was a FAR bigger spec imo

dont rush,,,, if you want resale DONT BUY A FUCKING WHITE ONE !!!!

buy a flint grey one with a metal spec,,,,, for 7k id want a 450bhp saph

i payed 4500 for my saph that had all alloy tanks, rl7's, stage 3 t34, quaife diff, big wing sump, bd10 cams ect ect ect ect

for 7k,,,,,, id want a BETTER engine spec
as for them handling,,, they aint that bad tbh,,,,, but they ARE a 20 year old family 4 door saloon built to talk daddy to work in the morning,,,,,, then a big engine slapped into it,,,,,,,,,,,, so dont expect scooby owners to give way at the ring

 

sign in the window saying

"part ex for scooby wanted"

 

the top one looks good mate, that would be my choice

 

In this field you get what you pay for.

for a really tidy saff with no rusty and no issues, you will pay upwards of 6k, unless you are lucky.

if i thought of selling mine i would ask for any less than 6.5k. and i have thought about it a few times.
