Default Fiesta rs 1800

What's peoples general opinion on them as I am looking at one for sale just now.
Any common down falls etc and what kind of money should I pay for it
It's done about 78k with lots of service and mots etc. owner said its got no rust on body work had sills done plus a few other bits underneath but says its very solid.

It's a 16v XR2i with an extra 15bhp. Not a bad car but nowhere near quick. Would do better buying a 2i then dropping a 2l silvertop in it

Loved mine. , had Rose jointed lower arms and avo coilovers. Chipped ecu with rev limiter moved to 8k. And a s2 LSD in a short ratio box ( Orion 1.4 )

And she flew. Spanked my 200bhp Rs turbo. Best car I've had, wish inever sold it but a brake caliper come loose at 130 and never trusted it after that
