2k tops in my mind.

they are good cars but probably have the worst rep in the RS scene. cars arent easy to sell at the best of times - stick with the frst as it looks a gooden!

they got a bad rep cause a lot of people think only good rs cars have turbos which is bollocks,they are a good little car and rare.just as fast as a standard turbo fezza.

So to be fair i will be looking around the 1800 mark. Say 2200 for a minter, 1500 for average and anything below that a bit of a rat. just a rought guide but does that sound about right

not neccesarily mate. I know of one that was bought at the lower end of that range it it was way better than other more expensive ones. Like i say, its really down to the seller as to what they wanna let it go for. you could if you are good at haggling, get yourself a cheap pukka little car..... and then sell it to me for the same money

If you got it at the lower(ish) end of the scale then i would be interested, providing the car is all good. We're not looking for an expensive car, it will only be a 2nd car for us to put the dogs in and use as daily driver

I have had.....

S2 RST, Saff Cossie, S1 RST and a 3dr Cossie...... now a RS1800 track car...

Yes its small (i'm 6'1" and 20 stone) but its also a lot of fun, the reason I bought it was to strip and track it and imo it will be much more reliable than any Ford RS with a turbo attached.

At least with this RS I knw I can thrash it within an inch of its life and havren't gotta worry about this blowing up
