Hello chaps, I'll be selling my RS Turbo in January and was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of guidance. I'll be completely honest with you, I'm not really car savvy and have basically copied this list from the previous owner, if anyone wants to come and have a look and a prod they're more than welcome. I'd also be grateful for any guidance on pricing (I'm hoping you'll forgive me for my lack of knowledge).

The car was rolling road setup about 8 months ago and the engine was producing 217.7HP at the flywheel with printout to prove results with torque of 216lbs ft @ 18psi max boost.

The car has also just had a new head done and will be going back on the rolling road for a final tune up in January.

There are a few paint chips on the front bumper and the drivers door has faded slightly, I'll try and get some better pics up in due course.

I've owned the car for around 3 years and am selling due to the fact I'm moving to Australia in about 7 months time, and as you can imagine, using an RS Turbo as your daily driver doesn't help you save money! Thanks in advance.

 

Hi mate, i would look for 1200-1500. try flea bay

 

Cheers mate, I was thinking around the £1500 mark. Thanks.

 

£2-3k? Very hard to say without seeing the car

 

yeah id say more then £1500 to be honest mate 2k+ what did you pay?

 

I paid about 3K mate, that was about 3 years ago.

 

£1200-£1500

You looking to buy it


Its probably still cheap at £2k if the chassis is tidy enough

 

I would say £2.5-3.5 its got a lot of stuff on it and looks tidy.
Some people would be interested in how many owners and service history and paper work ect.
Looks good

 

Thanks for the feedback fellas, much appreciated, I'll have a dig through all the paperwork and get some more info up when I finish work.

 

Put it on ebay , start it at £1500 any more is a bonus if you was thinking £1500 in the first place .

gl with the sale , looks a nice car .

 

You clearly know what you are talking about NOT..........

 

Looking at the mods and if the shell is a reasonably clean tidy one then between £2500-3000 as it looks tidy but depends what the sills, chassis, floors, arches etc are like for rust and rot but certainly worth more than 1500 mate

 

i wouldnt sell it for a penny less than 2k mate....

as above i would put it on ebay with a £1500 start price and a 2k reserve and im sure it will go over that

 

Bargain at £2k,should fly out,looks really nice.

 

i will easily give you £1500 for it at the end of january

 

Looks nice dont sell it.

 

nice

 

1200-1500 are you having a laugh!
Looks very nice and well maintained.
Without looking at it if its pritty solid around 2.5 - 3k i would say!

 

thats £2500 - £3000 all day long

£1500 i WAY too cheap, tidy rst's have been around the £2500 mark for years now

 

im intrested in this car. im currently breaking my car and should be able to come and view mid jan. are u in a hurry to sell?

 

id take it aus with me lol, cant be many out there

 

id give you £1500 for it now!!!

 

If its solid with no rot i'd say a minimum of £2.5k but more like £3.5 to the right buyer

 

worth more than 1500

 

id say 2500 mate.
rotten escorts are making a tad more than 1k
if yours is solid then its the better side of 2500 to me.
also if its solid then i wouldnt part with it.
beautiful car
