Default Ford Fiesta RS Turbo £12,000 on ebay?

I found this today:

ebay item number:370811959820

or

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIEST...item56561d7a0c

Now I like ford MK3 Fiesta turbo's but £12K strikes me as a bit steep!
one of the best no doubt, but...

what do you think?

Overpriced

But where else would you find a mint low miler in black

I would say more like 8k on a really good day

Yeah, agreed. I looked at the car before reading you post, and I thought it was an 8K car at best. Still, nice though.

that car is a waiting death trap.
still got the factory tyres fitted so soon thay will fall apart and kill someone.
plus i bet all the bushes on the suspension are on there way out.
i would only give 5k for it.

It wont be driven its a collectors investment. It probably wont even stand on the orginal tyres let alone drive on them . This was in the Bonkers collection so all is bushes would be protected & lubricated as i said before its an investment not a rwyb pod racer.

Some people don't understand this Rod.

The people that really dont understand is the people who have rotter fiesta rs turbos that they now think is worth 12k LOL.

It's a 10k car in the current market in my eyes.

I'd say it's not far off the money. If Bonkers did want a low mile Fiesta RS Turbo in black (again!) and there weren't any others about what do you reckon he would pay? Or what do you reckon he sold it for? I'd bet it was five figures, or near enough.

Really. You find me a Series 1, or Saph with 12K on the clock in that condition for £8K

These are both £7K over your budget, and both have too high a mileage...

original tyres.... but with weights attached to the outside of the wheel????

surely a brand new wheel wouldn't have this from factory?

I was all excited picking up my r5 gt turbo that was sitting on original tyres and 28k miles until I pulled it off the trailer when I got home and sssssssssssssss is all I heard from one of the front tyres lol just a big crack in the sidewall! I wouldn't be keen driving something with original tyres! 12k is mad for a fiesta! Fordy prices are just going silly
