A bloke at my work is selling his Escort RS 2000.
N REG
96,000 miles,
Full service history.
In good condition
£2000.
Is it worth £2000?? I know its been looked after & hasnt had the nuts thrashed off it. I m tempted to get it, but dont want to be over charged. What you lot think??
Also, whatgroup insurance are they. I own an RS turbo & was wondering if its going to be much more or roughly the same.
Thanks in advance

 

£2000 sounds a bit low but they are under rated cars. This as well as your RST or instead of. If it's instead of you will find it feels sooo slow by comparison.

 

knock him down there nice cars but a bastard to try and sell on dont know why they just are but a great motor non the less

 

cracking cars. buy it and start reving. they rev like fook.

 

I have recently swapped my series II for a N reg RS2000. They are so much nicer to drive, comfy seats, powersteering, better brakes etc.

It is everything the series II should have been apart from the lack of a Turbo and beefier looks.

I paid £2000 and it has 126,000 miles on it, but i only wanted a cheap car for the misses as i use a van every day.

I do plan to get a proper turboed car again for weekends when i move in to my house in the next month (first time buyer).

They are not superbly quick but could get you ito a lot of trouble with out you realising

 

Thats like i might get it then. Its a nice looking motor. Metalicy kinda grey, what ever colour it is wiv tints, alloys, etc.
Its instead of the RST. Its on its last legs & will be stripped. So need another motor.
What BHP are they?? & also, what engines are in the escort gti, mk6??? 1.8 16v arent they?

p.s, i have a feeling im going to miss the turbo, specially the boost.

 

M8 at work got £2000 as a trade in for an N plate rs2000. Similar miles too.


He px'd it for a Range Rover!
