After much deliberation and feedback from various close friends saying "Sell the flaming thing as you never drive it" it is looking a very strong possibility that the RS500 will be sold. I already have a trader that has seen it and waving pound notes at me.

It also does not help when I know the car that looks to replace it (should I finally make the move) with will be nice and new, in WR Blue and have a 3yr warranty Still another play thing for the weekends, but with 4WD, can and will be used regardless of the weather....... oh yeah and all the panels are galvanised!

I have been lucky to own an RS500 that didnt cost me a fat lot (in reality), gave me the oppourtunity to spend another £8k on it (how nice that was) and end up with a shit shovelling 500bhp minx. Unfortunately i'm getting old and I need something that goes where ever I want it, in what ever weather and enables me to drive it more than 400 miles a year, without worrying about the wet, ice & salt etc attacking the mint bodywork.

I wonder if I will wake up tomorrow and come to my senses (In fact I think I probably have by coming to this decision). I don't mind having a car that has cost me £20k stuck in the garage (I mean the replacement will be £26k), but when I hardly ever drive it because of mullering the condition of it..... I think it's time to make a change.

It's been emotional

 

Well Shaun, i could see this coming a mile off mate

Why are you looking at going through a dealer to sell it, Surely you would get alot more by selling it privately (but saying that you will be inundated with twats wanting a go in it)

Its a shame that you never drove it a little more but thats one of those things of having a TRULEY MINT AND AWESOME RS500

At least you can say you have had one

 

Shame, but i understand the logic fully pal

 

What logic? ...he frequents Scoobynet more than PassionFord so is gonna buy a car that depreciates quicker than a pair of second hand Y-Fronts

 

Tiff,

Done the private sale thing and will NEVER go there again.

I am losing a shitload of money, but the money is not the problem. The fact that I can drive to him, throw him the car keys and pick my cheque up more than makes up for the stress of selling a car like this to people. I mean the guy looked AROUND it, we spoke about the money and firm offer was made..... end of story (I was there for about 15mins).

I may still change my mind..... but it's looking very unlikely tbh.

Stu,
Still never managed to bring it to you for you to have a fiddle.

 

IMA,

When all said and done at least I can say:

I have had a proper Ford Cosworth
I have had 500bhp
I have been on a rolling road
I have never had boost surge
I can afford to lose more money on this sale than you have ever spent in your life on engine mods and engine building

You TWAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Shaun, out of interest, just PM me a price please.

 

Fain...are you saying my 3dr in the sig aint real? ....You gonna upset alot of people you lord

 

Jesus christ......u ain't selling the 500 with that homo attracting pipe poking out the back are ya?????!

Sorry Shawn but it's gotta go!

P.S You shit yourself when you drive it that's the excitment in owning one!

 

Pussie

 

IMA,
No Cosworth you have owned has been real When I say real I mean it is a proper car and not some shed.

Smit,
I was so pissed off with the pipe the whole car has to go!

 

Maybe, Just maybe because he fucking runs it

Shaun

Fully understand about the private sale thing

 

Eh tiff i think i know that...he used to tell me off alot


Oh well be sad to see you go Fagin...i mean who else am i gonna wind up about not having a genuine 450bhp let alone your dream 500bhp

 

Please could you pm me a price for the car ,,I am looking for another 500 for myself to park next to my black one

Serious buyer

cheers Paul

 

Paul,

Unfortunately that is something I am not doing at present for reasons stated above. Thanks for the interest that I am sure is genuine. I will let you know if the situation changes.

 

Shaun
Please do as this is just what i am looking for ,,
I have just sent the engine from my black one to get the 500bhp treatment , so this would sister my car perfectly

Thanks
Paul

 

Shauns 500 is one of, if not THE best Road going, big HP RS500 i have ever seen, and many people who have seen it will agree

It wont be cheap but it will be worth EVERY penny

 

Paul,
No problemo.

Tiff,
For a no bullshit "yes heres the money" deal, it would be priced to sell (should it become available to the masses). That means > £14k <£18k lol..... now depending on whether you are selling privately for cash or selling as a trader denotes which end of the scale that would be.

 

IMHO that is a VERY resonable price range for your car

 

Ohhhhh ,,,how i want this car

 

Lick that ring Tiff,i am surprised you aint worn that tongue out

 

I will lick his ring if he will sell it to me

AND IM NOT KIDDING

 

I agree with Tiff as i said on MSN Shaun.

Shame to lose out on decent hard cash due to past messers, even though i know you can afford to write it off to save yourself trouble.

Even Tony Mannock calls it a "Proper Rs500" which means quite a lot since hes a cynical old bugger at best

 

The things people will do to get a Cosworth..

 

totally understand your move,, lovely motor

 

That's a bit of a shame.

Still, I've only seen the car once, and you said you were in a bit of a hurry to get it home before it rained, so maybe it's for the best

 

I understand as well... BUT I don't think its a shame

Enjoy your money, don't park it in a garage

 

 

Shit..... I had only had the car about a month then! lol

 

You could always get Uncle Tony to fit it with an umbarella attatchment for rainy days!

 

Tiff do you really put your fingers in your ears whilst licking butt?...

 

Sometimes Phillis

 

IMA,

You must be the biggest arse licker on this board.......... cause you speak enough shit!!!

 

Fagin i only lick one butt......and rainbirds always got a smile

 

fucking quality!

 

Thanks to the people who have emailed, pm'd and msn'd me, BUT THE CAR IS NOT UP FOR SALE PUBLICLY for the reasons I have stated above.

Should the car become available in that way, I will make a relevant post in the correct forum.
