Hi

A mate has an rs2000 mk6 that's been stood a while on his garden no tax or mot. as far as I know the car has high mileage but the interior is mint it starts and runs original alloys in good nick and new tyres and the bodywork needs some tlc. I can buy it for cheap money but would like to know what you lot reckon its worth.

Any help to get me in the ball park would be great

Steve

 

Without seeing the car its hard to say as the chassis legs on the back etc may be dead. But a fair bid would be around Ł500

 

when you say the bodywork needs TLC, can you be a little more specific? A good T cut or new panels and loads of welding? I would say 800ish, unless it needs a lot of welding

 

one arch has rust bubbling and maybe lacquer peeling on door handles I think its pretty solid I would need to have a closer look underneath!?

 

pull the kick plates off in the foot wells and then you can peel the carpet back a fair bit to see the floor in the front foot wells. Look under the sound deadening.
look in the boot and behind the carpets etc. look at the rear chassis legs and give the tow eye a good wiggle. Check everywhere even under the rubber seals on the door shuts etc. Battery tray is also very common.

 

ok then nice one il have a butchers at it and bang some pics up and see what you think

cheers

 

Have a look at some of the restoration threads on the mk/6 escorts also. This may help you further as some escorts are quite bad.

 

reckon you guys are overpricing it, no tax or mot and been standing a while with rust issues, more like Ł250-Ł300

 

what steve said, i only paid 600 for my rs2k 4x4 doner car and that has only done 90k

 

If it was a mk5 then id say 8-900 but as its a mk6 id go 4-500 personally

 

christ I wish some of you were my buyers when I used to deal in rs2000s I would have been rich

 

Haha you will have to start buying them again Steve

 

Mk6 with that description 250 mk5 a fraction more because of the bonnet. Would only pay 900 for a full runner with tax and test.
