cheap looking steering wheel, set of wheels that are a bit of an old cliche now and not running the 4wd setup anymore, TBH for 11K I think you can find a far better investment escos wise.

Does look a clean shell, but the market for a rwd one is less than the 4wd ones IMHO

so like I say, to me it feels a bit overpriced, although if you agree with the 1500 quid valuation on the plate then I guess at sub 9k for the car after a big of haggling it looks better value but I tend to ignore things like plates as they are such a pain to sell.

agreed.

sub 9k without the plate seems better. so tempted with an escos but not having a garage is putting me off.

One of my best mates built this car and I spent a lot of time in it. He bought it as a rolling shell from Paul at NYRS and put all the bits from a crash damaged imp blue one on it. It's on level 6 and a saph engine.

It's a tidy shell but too many bitsa bits on it. It's a 9k car IMO which is exactly what he sold it for.

I think if your buying it for investment purposes there are nicer cars out there.

If anybody wants any more info on it pm me.

Well with this info id say Ł8.5-Ł9k is all its worth..

Being a 2wd conversion imo is a much better car as i hate the std 4x4 system in a cossie!! its choclate shit and drives horrid compared to 2wd..

If it was an investment then i fully agree with chip and the more std the better in that case but for just having a good looking cossie that is more fun than a 4x4 its the best combo than any other cossie hence why iv converted so many to 2wd!!

As for the plate its never worth that money and i dont see any value at all from that..my mate has C3 WTH and cant sell it for Ł500!!

I would have thought you would have remembered this car Danny as it was set up at Enhanced performance and you commented then how much you prefer 2wd.

He should have sold it to Danny, would have got far more for it by the sounds of it, lol


edit - actually have noticed he is backtracking now and agrees with me on it being overpriced now, lol

No back tracking mate..didnt realise its been built up from a shell and with all 2wd engine etc..

If it was a well done 2wd conversion on an otherwise well together road car then it would be worthŁ10 k all day long imo!!


And yes i now know what car it is mate but is now on the new number plate hence why i didnt remember it!!

Another well mapped and powerfull car!! very well put together and very clean!! i was actually going to buy it!!!!lol

Lol!! i think its easier to agree sometimes!! to argue over the price of a car we both cant see in the flesh would be pretty silly..

When i did see the car over a year ago though it was actually very nice but they seem to have dropped in value since too
