been offered an escort cabriolet turbo 1.8 zvh decent spec g reg but engine is needing attention its worth 600 quid eh the guy was after 1k but was told to ram it as i know hes desperado so he got back to me today to confirm 600 is fine
what you guys think

 

if your buying it to break, yeah fine. but if its a project you might aswell keep looking. it'll cost you more than three times that just to get it running reliably. trust me.

 

The cabby shells are usually reasonable compared to Roofed Escorts as such should the shell be OK, the rest of the question is regarding the spec.
When you say decent spec, has this got the bills to back it up or is the 'decent spec' stated by the owners mouth?

Has its been taxed and tested? - If its genuine and reasonable I would buy it myself

 

Sounds like a gift for that!

 

snap it up mate

 

he fell for my trap lol 600 quid he txt me last night to say yeah and im a robbing bastard ha ha

 

ha if you get it home and its too much work for you just rip it to bits n sell it.

 

its my mates car so i know whats been done to it etc its clean with no tinworm just needs the engine looking at but i have a cammed cvh turbo engine sitting in my garage so i could just slot that in and punt it on

 

id wanna know why hes willing to drop 400 just like that sounds seriously dodgy if u ask me.depends whats wrong tho to be honest

 

he knows nothing about cars and he is skint so he needs a new motor for getting to work hence the desperado attitude when it comes to cash lol

 

rs cabs are never worth much but worth that i sposer, only ever bought 2 rs's for over 500 tho, has some goodunds too

sold a very nice rst cabbie for 300 once, was sick of the sight of it, £300 profit too lol

 

if thats the case then it sounds like a bargain dependant on whats up with the engine mind but ur looking round a k for a standard cab with a turbo engine fitted so the 1.8 zetec sounds good

 

ill break his arm off and then brake the whole car
