A friend of mine has just been offered a Sierra GT for £400.

now i've never heard of them and know nothing of them

basically what he wants to know is:

is this a fair price? its immaculate condition, but its done 120K miles.

cheers for your help.

 

if its imaculate dont sound bad price and 120k not too bad nowdays if propertly looked after,sorry dont know anything about that perticular model.

 

its just a twin cam sierra, nothing special but they are abit rare.... had improved / uprated suspension etc, look to pay about £50 more than a standard sierra. still only 125 bhp tho

HTH

 

cheers guys. i'll let my mate know. so £400 a good price then?

 

i dont see y not, just make sure it doesnt smoke (BLUE), if it does u might aswell get a new engine rather than get that one fixed..

HTH

 

cheers buddy.

 

Its just a LX with sports trim, painted mirrors, alloys etc. Was suppose to superseed the GLS but never caught on as it didn't have fogs, elec mirrors, h/lamp wash etc. But the GT was available in Estate but not Sapphire, Vice versa for GLS

 

in short its at XR4i with out the V6. but the 2,0L dohc are a greath engine. fore normal transport and light racing. i have had one since 17/6 99 and it´s done 272000 km . with out problems. and the last 102000km it have ben tuned til 140 bhp , with cams and janspeed manifold, and some other things. its not slow slow. i do a Qmile on 16:85 sec in it. so its at fine car. ofcourse it´s not fast compared to the cosworth. but it will keep on driving 100k km after the cosworth have given up.. i do know that its not a big tradition to tune the DOHC engine. but it works, it´s all in the intel manifold.. the max i approx 140bhp . so off its goes

 

What'd you mean by it's all in the inlet manifold?

 

I mean the problem are the intelmanifold. it cant flow enough air.

 

it was just an LX with a different badge on the back

no electric mirrors, no abs (or rear discs), that sort of stuff which makes the GLS more desirable

have a look at this one and laugh

the good thing about them was that they all came as last of the line models so had all the 92 spec stuff on them (colour coded mirrors, bumpers) and the swooopy dash

the limits to tuning them are K+N, a set of cams (if you can find them) and the janspeed 4 branch exhaust manifold

or find a turbo technics conversion for around the 185 bhp mark

 

a cosworth is just an LX with a difrent badge on the bag.

but with a diffrent engine and front seats..

 

Not really. at least not mine. I have '92 GT, It has got better suspension,LSD,thicker axels,sports seats,rear disc brakes,ABS.....I was suprised how its better handles than standard sierra.

 

 

My old gt didnt have a lsd or rear disc brakes or even abs.

 

As I have said in another thread about the Sierra GT its based on the 1992 Sierra LX and has the boot spoiler and alloys like fitted to the Azure and a black b post decal along with a different coloured seat coverings. Just a parts bin special to move some more sierras before the mondeo come out.

 

Oh and they didn't even have front fog lamps in the bumper FFS

 

Nope but the wiring is all therr cause i fitted a xr4x4 bumper to mine and wired the fog lights up.
