Look at prices on ebay 1 just went on ebay for 7664.21

Here's the link on ebay if you need to look yourself 191179730859

And another on there for even more money went for 8.449
231242372474

So let's not be silly with the offers

Its on ebay for 6500

Swaps or cash what you got?
Ideally classic ford escort or 3 door sierra cosworth
Cash either way

 

Will try upload pics but can't do it for some reason

 

The bigger money ones your quoting were standard cars which is what most people are looking for , what you have is a 16i with all the 16i bits removed
It will sell but at a more realistic price IMO

 

So buy a standard 1 for 8500 not this 1 at 6500 then

 

Just screen shot your pics from eBay for you









I've got to agree with the above comment tho. Looks a really nice car but it's missing too much of it's original parts to be worth the asking price when you compare what other old school cars are out there at the same sort of money. My 2p and glwts

 

Let's see how long it takes to sell then , two failed attempts on eBay already

Worth about 4k I would say

 

That was about the figure I was thinking but still going to have to be the right person even at that price but best of luck all the same
