I've seen prices jump recently, which is why I decided to buy one fast.

I remember 18 months ago escos proces jumped up, there didn't seem to be as much whoha on social media about it.


But I've seen some right bitching on social media about the 3dr peice rize.

On eBay they're now between 30 and 40K lol

What's your thoughts?

 

some of the prices that are been banded about are a bit ambitious to say the least kev

 

The 50K one last week thats now dropped to 40K on eBay

 

i rest my case

 

This was mine I sold a few years ago I couldn't move it took ages to sell. I only sold it because I bought a house and at the time me and my pals felt out of love with cars. Makes me feel sick thinking about, spoke to the bloke who nows owns it and he's been offered 25k over the phone.

Looks better now has a decent set of rims on her.

Link don't work pal.

 

I viewed a 3dr about 6-7 years ago, made an offer that was excepted at 4k, was really nice condition but when I did a hpi it was cat d, turned out it was owned by a lad who was involved with a few other people I new and had a " smash for cash rear end damage done",
Put me off so I didn't buy,
Wish I had now even with the cat d

here you go kev

 

Looks better now the car is mint

£9600 I got for it. I should of sold a kidney instead

 

Thanks bud.

Can see its a nice car, no way you'd get that for 9K now lol

 

i think i would have sold 2 kidneys to hold onto it at the time mate lol

 

Make him feel better why don't ya

 

Just going to my car and putting a hose pipe on to the exhaust. BRB or not.

 

Prices for cosworths in general are nonsense at the moment, especially when so many people seem to be referencing eBay as some kind of market indicator. I've been looking for an escort cossie for a while, eBay has been full of the same 18-20k cars (and other even more daft ones) for months that don't sell, and there seems to be very little advertised elsewhere

Prices will only go up, no one can dispute that, but there's a lot of opportunists out there.

 

, i never thought that reply through


rememeber all the bad times you had with the cossie and how much cash you have saved since mate

 

We'll all blame it on James

 

That's the thing tho, if eBay is the only referance its because theres none for sale else where, they are getting thin in the ground now.

 

thanks kev

 

i dont go with the ebay pricing either roger ,but its the largest market place now and i suppose the odd big sale distorts the market

 

Eulogy reads bloke was wounded about selling a car cheap...

Seeks comfort on car forum...

James Kiely finished him off

 

the thing is kev £9600 was probably the going rate for a 3 door 6 years ago ,so i cant be fully to blame .

this is the reason i am a hoarder lol

 

It's true, I'm one of those bloke you here about that scrapped MK1's and 2's...

Even a rotten x-pack once, wounded!

 

I bought my 3 Door 12 years ago for £5700 it was about double that at the time for a RS500 wish I'd stretched to the 500 now

Rich

 

ive heard of a couple of mk2 rs200,s sold for £250/300 quid when the xr3s first came out .


PROPER WOUNDER

 

So everyone agrees... they're worth shit loads

 

Supply and demand comes to mind, there is hardly any for sale so really it is a sellers market to pick the price, whether it sells or not is a different story! The classic car market is like the painting market! Collect-able and invest-able. You won't lose money and in some cases money better in the bank!

 

no bad times mate, car never skipped a beat

 

i was hoping that wold have made you feel better ,now i have put my foot in it again lol

 

i was gonna sell my 3dr in 2007 with the 500 bits still on it for 5500

glad i stripped it in the end ...not

 

More like the cossie tax has gone up lol.

It's the same as the parts they go for daft money too.

 

There's a nice escos local to me. The garage wants 28k for it lol.

 

You tried your best lol

I have a saff now so that has taken some of the pain away

 

saffs are better cars anyways mate

 

All of you are correct, prices are madness at times.
If only we had bought loads and stored them for now, oh well.
The only problem is collectors buy the cars and prices rise, forcing enthusiasts to lose out as they cannot afford them anymore

 

I wonder if there will be a similar discussion in several years about saphs? When I was first looking for one about 5 years ago they were about half of what they are now...

 

I may be the only one but I do hope the cosworth market crashes. I think too many are in it just for the money rather than the actual car. Glad I have my saph now before they go astronomical, my only concern is parts prices as I like to use my cars as they where intended and break them in the mean time lol.

 

The saff is the unloved cossie which get broken for parts and mainly engines.

But this will make them a rare beast esp the 2wd.
Just look at prices for lancia integrales and the e30 M3. Lancias being a basic pile of rusty poo but now rare in decent condition and trust me when i say the build quality on them is horrific. Makes a saff look like a bentley....
And they can change hands for upto 70k.

 

Bought this 8 years ago for £5500 , mint , 62,000 miles stage 3 , not a spec of rust and is solid as a rock , is a cat D but no idea why never managed to find out the history of why it's a cat D but it's never had any welding anywhere , fuk knows what it's worth now but doesn't matter as I'll never sell it , my wee boy wouldn't forgive me

 

Looks lovely mate in the best colour for a 3dr 😎

 

that was a bit of a bargain wattie


your paying that kind of money for a decent xr3i now lol
