Me and the missis have been talking and were thinking of buying the new rs focus but this meens the escos will have to go and the st-2 whats your opinion guys n gals

 

stick with what you got mate! you will cry once they start depreciating if you give up your cossie for one! its in a different league

 

I agree. In 3 years they will be 12k

 

i would chop in the st2 but not the escos mate

 

No way!

 

Not a chance IMO!

If you want your mind made up for you j6kyt just take one for a test drive

 

sure everyone will think 'wow'great car(and it is)but it might not be good enuf for you,then you might wish you had kept your escoss.........
still i wish that was the only decision i had to make......lol

 

perhaps ill keep the escos and just chop in the st-2. But were pretty sure were going to get one.

 

mate go and drive one, no questions from me but i would sell both your cars to buy one

 

i reckon we should all make a note of this then...

at the end of 2012.

 

drive one first, see what you think

 

As said get rid of the ST but not the Escort.

 

why do people care so much if its worth alot less in 3 years i thought you bought a car to drive and enjoy it not for an investment? or maybe im just different

 

Deal! If they go down to that level I'll give you Ł5!

 

Not a prayer mate, not a fuckin chance.you live in a very idealistic world if you realy think that

 

Performance is not great apparently with them weighing nearly 2 ton.

Wonder what tuning options are gonna come out for them, and what the weak link will be ..

 

Performance is ample mate! A very swift car!

As for tuning options, best you check out next month's Fast Ford - Six tuned Focus RSs go head to head!

 

They WILL be worth 12k to 15k in 3 years, its how they go down in value after that!

They might hold 15K for 10 years or so, but they will go to that price in 3 years !!!

 

from the times ive seen i would say performance is pretty good

 

Ł15 possibly, but not Ł12.

 

Keep the Escos.

 

i think they will bounce around in price for a couple of years then settle to a price people will pay,and when the tuners have their head around them what a car they will be ,not that their slow at the minute ,
chop in the s2 and you wont look back imho

cheers james

 

if you sell any cosworth to get the new rs then more fool you the escort looks better is better and is a real pedigree rs

 

Our local ford dealer is getting on in soon so i will test drive one and compare it against the st as it can't be compared to the escos because its old and technoligy has come so far, but i think were going to get one as the look the nuts.The escos will stay in the garage where it belongs.

 

This statement sums up just about everything about the modern day Cosworth owner and is what I detest about Cosworth ownership and is exactly why I will probably never own a Cosworth. If I did, believe me, like fuck would it sit in a garage for 9 months of the year and come out for 3.

 

dont do it mate stick to escort cossie there is loads of new rs's already

 

do it , its a better car than any cosworth and youll enjoy it more

 

You have a nice couple of cars as it is but I'd sell up for one

 

Because by then he might want to sell it and buy an Escos

 

i'd keep the ecos and as for the comment about using it everyday bet you wouldn't lol

 

Cars are designed to be driven mate, not to fucking sit in the garage because the nasty weather man said there might be a light shower later on. Fair dos might have a daily driver to pop to the shops but seriously, I'd drive it more or less everyday regardless and drive it like it should be driven.
