This is the 3rd time ive thought about selling it and im still in two minds whether to sell it or not still..

but if someone offers the right price for it then il let it go...

about the car...

first off im selling this as an unfinished project...

the tax/mot ran out a couple of months ago, but personally i dont think it would take much to pass the mot anyway...

going to be totally honest about the car..

the battery tray is rotten (only under neath the tray)

it has a few holes in the front floor pans and a small one in the boot..

and one arch lip will need a slight blow over (could do this with a can)

but end of the day its not concourse, its built to have fun round the track...

but could easily have a battery tray and two new floor pans welded in (could easily do it yourself if your half decent with a welder)

car spec..

engine:

1.6 cvh (told it had been rebuilt around 10k miles ago, i cannot prove this, but all i can say it runs very well, so easily to believe it has)

kent cvh 22 cam

heres some pics..













1400ono (only a base price)

realistically im looking for around the 1k mark...

pm me if you have any questions..

 

i like this,was better with standard lights tho.

did you get a hole saw for your christmas?

 

like i said above, i can put the standard lights with clear indicators on if the buyer wants...

and i just like holes lol...

 

hmm what kind of holes......

 

Not being funny, But you want £1400 for a G plate Mk4, with no tax/MOT?


Good luck with the sale

 

Like charlie says I doubt anyone would pay that for it, you could get a ropey rst with tax and mot for that

 

Proper mint car aint it

 

nice car. why do you want to sell it?

get it taxed & MOT'D then youll get more intrest

 

1400 is a base price...

only reason i need to sell it as my mums nagging me that ive got two cars on the drive so need it gone...

 

1400? didnt you buy it for 200 quid

 

you will see martoon sell his escort for 16 jiffy bags of half chewed peanut flavour mouse droppings before someone gives you 1400 for an 18 year old escort with no ticket

The ONLY 18 year old escort you'd get for 1400 quid is now on the run with Ronnie Wood of the rolling stones fame

 

£1400!

 

400

 

omg lmao.. do you know what a base price is, basically ive stuck 1400 up so people dont moan that i havnt put up a price...

realistically id be after more 1000...

 

give you 800, with tax and mot max mate,,

 

I've got £450 cash, you can have it tonight if you want

 

Shit Hot Car, Well Worth A Grand!

 

£1400.00 are you taking the fucking pi55?

Or does that come with 750 litres of fuel?

 

pmsl

 

If it isnt going to take much to get it MoT'd then why dont you do it yourself and stick 6months tax on it, surely you've then got more chance of getting somewhere near the price your after??

 

you bin smoking crack. wats it had done to warrant 1200 quid extra on it cut springs and some holes.

 

I was working on 60p a hole

 

Its worth £100... not a penny more.

 

some people... lol

may break it, get the money i want for it...

 

Some people??? Im a car trader. This is my full time business. Your the one with the rose tinted specs on...

£1400 but i really want £1000 but no mot or tax and it "probably" wont need much for its mot.... ok mate. Trot on.

 

here we go again the usual bullshit when some body is trying to sell there car, yep i agre the price is a bit steep, im sure he knows its over priced but he is trying to get some money back for what he has spent.

if your not going to by the car then whats the point in just leaving shitty replys about how over priced the car is and how crazy the fella is,

good looking project mate good luck

 

Well said. Goodluck with the sale mate

 

Well said! Leave the lad alone. Trot on yourself and take ya head out ya fucking arse big man!!!!!
Lets see what pieces of shit you sell in the future

 

I have no need to advertise on here.

 

so stop trying to ruin other peoples adds then mate we all here what your saying but if your not interested in the add other than to leave sitty replys dont bother mate

 

Imagine some other young daft lad came on here and though, oooh, Escort Bonus for only 1400 quid. The members of PF are just making sure that doesn't happen by stressing the point that THAT car is not worth 1400 quid. At all. Not even slightly.

It has NO tax, NO mot. While it is a clean little shell, it's worth 400 quid TOPS. With an MOT he could maybe be looking more towards a grand.

You never get your money back modifying a car, especially if the MOT has run out. What if the chassis legs are rotten underneath? I mean it's hardly uncommon in 18 year old ford escorts, and with no MOT? I doubt the parts he's bought are worth 1400 quid.

You say we shouldn't ruin his post by posting negative comments, but you shouldn't be glossing over the fact it's an old escort with no mot, if it's your mate thats selling it or not.

Reply of the year right here!

 

Get your mum to buy it.....

sorted then

 

i dont know the lad selling the car just simply saying why do we all slate other peoples adds, i agree its over priced and i agree its an 18 year old car with no mot or tax and could be rotten but thats why you go and look at cars that you are interested in bying an make up your own mind, but then if you go and pay £1400 for a car thats not worth anywhere near that with no mot,tax ect then isnt that your own fault.

im not slaging anybody off or looking for a war of words just saying anyway back to the add ay

 

a car is only worth what some 1 is willing to pay for it IMHO
