Default Sapphire cosworth prices

Looking at trading against my focus rs,
This is the ad

Here is my sierra sapphire cosworth spent all in all over 12k on this car so its a good 1

Its motd no tax in use most days when the weather is good

Dark green injectors

3 bar map sensor

31 actuator

Uprated fuel lines

Stainless steel exhaust

Group a coil

Swirl pot

Group a ht leads

Fuel pressure regulator

Samco hoses

New fan belts and timing belts

New alternator

Poly bushed all round

Uprated anti roll bars

Coilover suspension

Boost gauges

Drilled and grooved brakes

Ebc yellowstuff pads

Active tracker fitted

Clifford alarm

Under sealed so no rust

Fully chrome under the bonnet

Boost controller

Motorsport development chip

Recent new t4 Turbo upgrade

Bonnet raisers with cosworth signed into them

Few bits to mention
Clutch release bearing noisy
Handbrake not the best needs adjusting
Speedo doesn't work
Alloys aren't anything special got 2 or 3 sets to go with the car at right price

So many parts on this car and its is in mint condition is a real looked after clean example

Would be a value of £6500, what do you guys think?
Go for it or leave it, I'm a little bored of fwd but will still have my frst anyway. Always wanted a cossie but couldn't afford to insure one, thinking its a good idea before I get a mortgage ect because I doubt I'd get he chance then
Cheers for reading, let me know what you think

My first opinion is it cant be that well looked after if the speedo don't even work. Just my thoughts but don't rush and buy the first one you see - its easy to ler your heart rule your head.

Good luck with your search

That's the aparantly big spec Saph isn't it,
As said the it's not that looked after if the bits to do list is to go by ,as it's not even a days work or 100 quid to fix that list
Plus a t4 on 4 green injectors sounds like it's been modded by some one with little idea of what he's doin pal

Your all saying the things that I thought, for someone who's spent 12k you'd think they'd do the bearing and speedo really. I'm also a little concerned that in the pics the wheels are always changing.
Ginner- yes that's the one on swapz?

I will when I have time.
To sort the confusion about it I saw in the for sale thread, yes it HAD a T4 (12psi) fitted which is way too big for the injectors so it's now running a T3 again around 20psi thank god. Yes the clutch bearing ia noisy but not too bad I don't really mind. Speedo doesn't work 99% of the time because the cable has been melted by the manifold, causing it to stick and damaging the speedo drive. That's something I'm still investigating. If I have to get a GPS speedo it's not the end of the world.

Fair play mate, like I said it just seemed a little strange for me, being a 2 and a half hour drive to get there was a little too much
Glad your happy though, nice to know it's gone to a good home

Exactly - I got mine from London and drove back through Wales, got the ferry to Dublin and drove back to Belfast from there.

These English boys don't appreciate how easy they have it!
