am looking into gettin a sierra saph with a budget of around 5k whats to look out on these as it my first time goin sierra saph way cheers ash.

 

Cosworth??

Hpi it, look for rust, be super critical because once you've driven it, it hard to say no

 

Check for rust around the rear arches and on the chassis legs.They start to go on the front inner wings too.

Cossies are adictive.Ok there are better cars out there but if you get a good cossie it will go forever.

 

Yea sorry cosworth mate.

 

Well was gonna get a st3 focus but loads flyin about, I've got a 5 dr Scort and the sierra cosworth I've been looking at is 400 quid cheaper than my escort insurance and this is only way il get a cosworth lol.

 

Well don't wanna rush into buying one as will be spending a lot of money.

 

Go and see a few.There will be a lot out there that will be in so called good condition.

 

I know goin lookin at one at weekend

 

Any saff for 5k ain't gonna be perfect, as said check for rust, and Buy on condition and condition alone....don't be put off by owners or mileage (within reason)

See several, they will vary massively

 

If I have to il pay an extra 1k for one but I will go on conditions

 

brave man to go saph route on a budget as these cars like to kick you in the hollyhocks whenever they can, focus may be more common but a better reliable car

 

i would buy one with good interior and bodywork and worry less about the mechanicals as they can always be sorted/ upgraded anyway

 

I like em mate I know they can hit ya in ya balls lol but I should get a decent one for 6k

 

I know last past couple of cars I've bought have bee. Pants so not bothered about mechanicals defo body work interior and underneath more important
