Im thinking of selling the 3dr and getting a escort cossie, i will prop have around £14.5k to spend, will that buy me a decent spec one with decent bodywork?

cheers

 

So far 35 peeps have looked with no replies so i will give my opinion.....yes £14.5K should get a very reasonable example,even a tidy Monte

 

Yes with that budget you'll get a 50Kmiles + car in good used condition.

 

i know of a couple in your price range

what colour?
Big turbo or Small?
modded or standard?

 

I do like mallard green, moondust silver and imperial blue, would prefer big turbo and modded

 

Try www.pistonheads.com and www.escortrscoswoth.com and you will then get a feel for what they go for.

 

14.5k will get you a nice 1, Wenny has his pacifica blue 1 up for 15k over on www.escortrscosworth.com its a lot of car for the money he is asking.

 

ok thanks alot guys

 

Ginge thats the car i was thinking defo a BARGAIN

 

buy wennys

 

imo i think Wennys is a 20k'r its mint and well looked after and good spec

 

Its nice lads but im having second thoughts bout selling the 3dr now

Has anyone on here had both a 3dr and escort, if so wots the best in there opinion coz ive heard afew peeps selling there 3dr and getting a escort and then going back to a 3dr

lol i dunno wot to do

 

Yes i have, i had an Imperial Blue one about 4yrs ago and tbh i didn't like it, hence why i've had 2 more 3drs since it was only running 330bhp with similar torque but it didn't feel that strong tbh and the gearbox didn't fill me with much confidence either, felt as though abit more torque and it may not of survived tbh.

Having said that i think they're a stunning looking car and if i had LOTS of funds i'd have another but have it all built like Mike Rs etc....

 

I have had a 3dr for 5 years .lots of fun but after these years my dream was to buy a white escort cosworth.so i changed my black 3dr for a white escort light edition. i had the escort for 4 years with lots of traction but lots of proplems in transmission(shafts,diffs,gearbox,etc).my conclusion is that for fun the 3dr is more reliable(both cars 350hp)and you dont have in mind what the hell will brake now after a few launches...i didnt want to spend more money so i sell the escort and now i have two of them (3drs).a red colored and a white street legal.i couldnt live with the fear of braking something.also the lost of grip is something magic on a 3dr.you feel that you ride a wild horse .
think about the budget you have to spent on an escort to make it reliable....because you would love your escort to be near 450 hp .and here the problems begin.both cars are cossies engined but with totally driving feeling.for me the fast street use of a 3dr is the best ever......but listen your heart and not me .

 

totally different driving feeling....

 

Ive decided to keep the 3dr, thanks for the advice guys
