Default Escort cossie for sale - standard

Sad day...

my cossie has to go. It is time to buy a house and i cant do that and have my dream car.

Its up on pistonheads at the mo (http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1236087.htm) and think it may be a bit of a bargain.

Petrol blue, Lux, (leather,electrics, sunroof etc), 88500, FSH mainly Ford, as standard except stage 1 exhaust and chip, bailey dump valve (can be taken out if not needed).

Group A head gasket done last year (was leaking, not blown), samco hoses, gearbox recently rebuilt with warranty - new clutch and balanced flywheel.

Looks and drives immaculately, looking for close to £12k, MOT July 2010 (no work needed last time), tax jan 2010. Cat1 autowatch alarm and immobiliser.

Sad to see it go!

House move getting close so i need the dough...

I'm dropping price to £11k, therefore effectively giving it away!

I will try and get some better pics on here but anyone interested, pm me or 07715 117843.

Pretty sure it is a Lux - the previous owner said at some point the leather was retrimmed?

Says Lux on the log book and has all the electrics and sunroof?

Still a bargain though, someone must want this car!?!?

And huge thanks to craig for posting the pics. Out of interest, how long ago were they taken?
Apart from headlights, the cars exactly the same - pictures do it justice

Yes, that leather is definitely a retrim because it's not got dimples in it and it's still got the cloth trim door cards.

my house move has been brought forward - starting to get desperate for the money!

What do traders generally pay for these cars? Been offered £9500 trade for it - is this about right?

I would say that is a decent trade offer, especially at this time of the year, i.e. when cars will sell even less well than they have been doing anyway.

I'd give you that for it mate. Now that would be a bargain. That sort of place depend on you being desperate. The thing is they advertise saying that if you sell your car to them you can get a better cash deal when you buy another car but at that sort of deal there's no way you would recoup the difference.
