My search for an Imperial Blue Small Turbo Escort Cosworth has been going on for a fair while now and the prices for low mileage standard cars just seem to keep going up and up. Prices of the Focus RS have now come down a bit and are looking more attractive to me.

What should I do? Hold out for the Escort I desperately long for or give in and get a Focus RS which is only a year old with 10000 on the clock. I don't love Focus RS's to be honest, but I don't know how much longer I can go on searching.

Thanks

 

keep looking for the cossie mate the focus rs is bloody horrible, keep looking you will find one,

 

Cossie mate ... 1000000000 %

 

got to agree wait for the cossie

 

cossy all day

 

Get a escos. You can get them for cheaper than that anyway.

p.s. go for the large turbo model

 

Thanks for all the replies guys.

My faith is restored, Escort Cosworth it is!

 

 

Large turbo?

 

esco without doubt mate, killer looks

 

live for the day, you could get run over by a buss tomorrow.

get a Focus and have some fun - you can always sell it easily if a EsCos does come up

 

Escort all the way mate.

The Focus performance is IMO

 

Escort m8
u know imperial blue is the best

 

Escort.

 

By the one you really want!

Lifes to short to settle for second best

 

cosworth all the way mate

unless you can't find yourself a decent one; then go for a Focus RS

 

cossie

all the focus rs up my way are driven by women!!

ps there is a focus rs up here for £19500

 

Got to be an escort!!!!

 

buy what you wana and dont justr settle for second best

are you really gunna be happy driving a 20k focus when you know that if you hold out for a bit longer then you can have the car that you really want.

did you see that post about the v reg cossy i know its not imperial but mmmmm

500 bhp v plate cossy 15000 gotta be worth a look.

good luck with the search

matt

 

so ?? what's wrong with that mate ?

 

I drived both...

Cossie all the way m8!

 

focus is scrabble... FWD = Baaaad...

go for the 4x4..

RWD is best but hey... you cant all drive saph cossies

 

escos all the way

 

depends if u want something u can use and leave somewhere or just a show car... i love escort cossies but the age and attention they attract puts me off thus I shall be treating myself next year to a Focus RS but im waiting till the next generation normal focus come out to see if it drops prices further

 

My thoughts exactly..

If you have this as a show/second car then go for the Cossie. But if you want something realiable for everyday use then go for a FRS with its warranty etc etc. However don't opt for second best, its alot of dosh not to be happy with your choice. Try and get a test drive of an FRS then make your mind up

 

Thought about selling my escort cos to buy a focus, could not decide so i put a post up and had the same tesponce, i am keeping the cossie.

Keep looking mate you will find the one you want..

cossie hands down mate, mite as well get a cossie cos they're 10 years old now and not getting any younger where as the focus is new so will be round for ages

Although you WILL get more aggro if you got the Cossie, but then thats part of the fun of having one
