been thinking this for a while and now come into some money....

ok so we ve all been out in a bangy motor with a few jobs that need doing.... few parking dents etc......

so...

for something that feels quick and and has no jobs pending... what are we looking at?

something that on a sunny day you can get into and drive..... something that feels solid....

 

imo you need to be spending 15-18k for a good one.that maybe a big gap but it alll depends how much its modded and miles etc

 

Id agree, £15K upwards

 

Rob, i'd say 12-14k for one you could be proud of & drive, more for a minto or well specced one

 

cheers for the replies.... think i might start having a look round....

 

is it me or are escos dropping in value a little now? 3doors seem to be going up in value at the moment.. wonder if they will ever be worth the same..

 

go for steve the plumbers one looks a good motor

 

shitty ones ave dropped alot.but good ones are stll holding tbh.imo anyway

 

at least 15k imo if its to be mint and well specced

 

I think they have a bit. Look at steve the plumbers monte. its done 33k and is 16.5k, looks mint and isnt shifting. I sold my mint monte with 30k miles 18 months ago for over 18k in three weeks

 

This ones for sale......£14,795...

 

I think its more likley to be the credit crunch than anything else. Not much is selling, Houses, cars etc.

 

damn man,thats a good price for your car! someone will get a bargin

hello, sorry to crash your thread, theres an escoz sat in a garage near me n its been sat bieng used as a expensive shelf for the last 5 years. i dont know much about it apart from its red on an L plate. im saving for a project now n hope it hangs around a while, but what do you think a reasonable price would be to offer the guy, sorry to crash in but it seems relevant.

 

this one on autotrader

 

Looks nice but another £1500 you could get steve the plumbers with half the miles and it a Monte

 

Hard to value without seeing it, although 5 years of doing fook all will mean it will need the biggest service of its life, and all sorts of probs you could run into

This lad got an unused in years esc cos for 8k which if he hadnt of bought I would lol

i know, but some people might not have £1500 more, and an unmodded imperial blue small turbo escos seems far more desirable

+ you could probably get it even cheaper than advertised if you strike a deal with no warranty although i wouldnt recommend that as its a cossie and anything could happen saying that, you never know whats covered on the warranty anyway, being a cossie, probably nothing
