right gutted to do this but ive got to sell my rs2k before ive even really had time to enjoy as i need to buy a van for work

not sure what to ask for it, but it needs to go A.S.A.P to free up some cash!

i dont want to go overboard on trying to sell it...i wont say its mint....cos it aint... at the end of the day its a 15 year old Escort!!!!

but by no means it aint a pig...it still has original arches and i would say minimal rust that a mk6 escort can have!! TBH i havent seen many escorts as clean!!

the interior is very tidy (dont like to use this word but near mint) and obviously recaro's, bodywork is pretty much spot on, only minor blemish here and there not noticed anything that is eye-catching!!

the car is completely standard, as in the right wheels, exhaust, air filter etc....

it had all new oil in the gearbox, transfer box, engine, diff, new plugs and filter 3 weeks ago!!

i would say if your interested, please come and view and then you can make up your mind yourself!!!

i will try to add pics tomorrow as cant get them on at the minute!!

cheers Dan

 

oh forgot to say its a N reg 96...

 

Really need pics!

 

Pics !!!! how about a price ?

 

these are from when i bought it its got new No plates on it now as them ones look scabby!!

 

^^^^^^^^^

anyone interested??

 

you haven't posted a price

 

thats cos i havent got a price mate....im looking for anyone with sensible offers!!! being as there is fuck all 4x4's left on the road might be wanted by someone after a rare 'classic'!!!
but im looking for over the 1500 mark!!

 

Nice car and very underated (btw you have to state a price incase the mods see it fella)

 

oh ok cheers Less..... well £1600 for the car but flexible on price

 

i remember watching this one sell on ebay. wasnt it like £1k within the last few months??

 

yeah about 3 months ago i bought it, and i paid £1380 for it!!

 

would you fancy a swap for a white escort cabby? its in the for sale bit and titled...cosworth managed escort cabby?

 

You paid £1380 for it and now want offers around £1600 cos you've changed the oil and 3 plugs?!

Fair enough mate but cant see many people offering anything over what you paid for it & why only change 3 plugs?!

 

where does it say i changed three plugs??

totally irrelevant what i paid for it anyway...

and it actually stands me in more than that because ive had another engine in it aswell...

so adding up what i paid for the car £1380 + £100 quid for oils and service bits + £200 for another engine + £250 to fit it + tax etc... so i make that closer to 2 grand!

also being a car that i assume should only go up in value because of it being rare now and not many left in a roadworthy condition.... dont see what the problem is with me asking whatever i want for it...doesnt necessarily mean that will be the actual price it sells for...

and if you would like to take the time to do a full HPi check as i did before i bought it insurers and book price sits at £2800...

sorry to sound shitty but if you aint interested and watched it go before for however much why take the time to put a negative comment about it on here??

 

that does sound far worse than what it is supposed to, apologies!!

 

hello mate i do like that but i havent long got rid of my escort cabby...tbh i dont really want to sell the 4x4 but i am desperate for a van!!!

GLWTS tho fella!!

 

thanks mate i would buy your car if someone with money would buy mine lol

GLWTS!

 

I nearly Bought this car. did you buy it from manchester? i was going to go snipe it before you came for it but i think you use same insurance company as me, need 2 insure and they rang you to tell you

 

Who cares what he paid for it?
How do you think garages make a living?
Anyway,I think looking at the numberplates they say towy ford or something?it gets a bit pixelated on my phone by then but if so their the original plates from Towy Ford in Carmarthen as EP on the plate is a Swansea registered car but a lot of west Wales cars got DE or EP dependant on which dealership registered it.
Just proves it's not been really badly mangled over the years.

 

i remember this i went to and look at it with a mate

need some new pics to show what condition its in???
what you done to it??

 

Nice car m8 at a very good price as these are extremly rare now glwts

 

haha so your the man lol.....

yeah it is the one fella, i thought it was decent of paul at need to insure to let me know cos at the end of the day i was only going by the sellers word thast it was mine... anyway you still want it?

 

yeah they are the original plates i think?!?! ive kept them but have put new ones on now!! thats what i liked about it the fact its all totally original and standard!!

 

just to let everyone know it is still for sale, its not been messed around with and is still standard....

some twat has put a hole in the back bumper...no structural damage just looks as if its had pressure on the plastic and cracked and made a hole..maybe brittle...looking out for a new bumper!!

noticed it hunts for about 20 seconds when started up from cold after that settles to constant idle, been told possibly the idle speed control valve... can be cleaned or bought for peanuts!!

also will be replacing brakes in the next 2 weeks and also lower arms, track rod ends etc and will be tracked as inner bush one side has started to go so car can decide to float a little if goes near a big pothole!!

finally will probably put another tyre on it to match the other three avon zv-3's!! nothing wrong with the other tyre just want them all matching!!

so if anyones interested please get in touch

Cheers

 

I sold my 4x4 last week and it went for good money, over £3K in fact so its worth putting some effort in as the rewards will be greater, GLWS

 

alright steve... i see it on ebay mate, was wondering how it got on! yours was really nice though and being the moondust silver!!

i was meant to ask you, how do i find out the build number of mine?

cheers, Dan

 

hiya dan, pm me the chassis number geez as I have the build list here , as the number plate on that is not the one it was made with originally

 

oh yeah i remember that now...when i done the HPi check it said it had a different reg no it did have on there the original but i never printed it off!!

sent you the chassis number fella!

 

haha no chance now. just bought a ST 24 and pick it up in the morning.

good luck with the sale mate. i was gutted when paul told me he had just insured it in the morning.

 

all information pmd back mate

 

your a star steve cheers for that!!

ive seen a few numbers flying about as to how many were built.... so far i think ive seen 500, 600, 350 and 648??? as your the main man in the know what is the right amount ever built??

 

the most reliable source from ford and on rs2000-16v.com match and both say is 600 with 3 possible extras

 

Seems a nice car from outside... 4x4 are very rare.. good luck to the seller. i had a p reg in red 4x4 (extra rare) it was concourse near enough low milegage etc.. i got £4,900 and she was mint that was 2010 thuo... the more longer u keep the car like rs/rs2000 4x4 etc will go up in value ... am sure the seller will get good money for it !
