we will probably sell one of the cars this year to fund an escos, not sure which one to sell, the 3 door is a great car car & looks awesome on the road, but the saff is so a reliable & nice to drive. we have 2 kids so i thought it would be better to sell the 3 door as the saff is still a good family car, or do i sell the saff & get a cheap focus to smoke around in till i find an escos?? i will give you details of both cars & see what you think.

the 3 door, white, 7 owners, 59k (with history) near mint trim, 330mm AP brakes, 18 comp mo's,coilovers, rebuilt 1500 miles ago, 200 block, new genuine lifters, T34, pro alloy 500 spec cooler & oil breather, all pipes are silicone, under bonnet is very clean, no cracks or splits around struts, the only thing that lets it down is the fact it had rear quarter damage in 2001, & being that the insurance company could not get a new quater panel they wrote it off (category D) it has since had a new quater & rear panel, although the quater looks rippley so i have a new one to be fitted.






the saff, ebony black, 2 owners, 94k (with history) very clean leather, electric roof, air con, 17" rondells (just refurbed & 4 new F1's) coilovers, just had major service including all belts, tensioners, genuine rad & both lower arms, stage 1 & graham goode k&n, mongoose pipe, origonal panels, only ever had the bumpers painted, the car is very clean & has never missed abeat since i've had it. (nearly 2 years)






your views people

 

I know both cars so its hard to make a decision



as there both lovely cars, but personal choice would be to sell the 4x4 saff

 

Both look fantastic.

 

Sell the 3door. You don't really want two 3doors, an Esc and a Sierra do you? Yep of course you do but it's not as practical as a Esc 3door and a Saff.

 

Get shot of the shonky taxi

 

Im not bothered either way there both great cars and i'd be sad to see either one go but.......................................

I'll be happy with an escos

plus i still have my fiesta

 

Keep the saff ,
Better history , better condition , better for the wife and kids

3 door looks mint but not as practical with a family

 

Would you miss having a rear wheel drive car? if no keep the saff for practical
reason's

 

hello Matt!let me know how muchus u wantus for the 3door!
regards
bob

 

so you might have decided on a car at last Bob lol

 

 

I'd put the MO's on the saff & keep that!

 

I want that 3dr You should sell it to me

Both 2 lovely cars

Good luck with what ever you both decide.

 

It's so hard to choose they are both beautiful cars, but you don't really want two 3door cars with the family?? Good luck with your choice

 

sell the sapph!

 

Both very nice moters The saph is a rare colour and a good family car but for me the 3dr it would be.

 

i love both cars but for practicality with the kids i wud sell the 3door

 

Both very nice moters The saph is a rare colour and a good family car but for me the 3dr it would be.

 

sell the 3dr...would be easier with the kids!

 

yeah thats the sensible thing to do but...........



I love my car..... real tears> <LOL

 

you must be crazy if you wanna part with that 3 door

 

and fair enough you got kids but its still got back seats so keep the 3 door

 

keep the 3dr but im being biased.

the saff would be more practicle.

Matt - did u manage to get them clips for the indicator?

 

if its the black one above the indicator (about 2.5") then i have one.

 

lets be fair if practicality was a key issue here u wouldnt even consider running two cossies and a family............

Keep the 3 door all day long

 

matt - no idea which one it is as i dont have one but i do need it

u going to reading meet tonight?

 

I understand the practicality bit because of the front seats, but the 3dr has loads more room in the boot doesn't it ?

Sell us the three door on a 10 year loan we can forget about in six months

 

The only problem with having the 3 dr is pulling the seats forward to get the kids in and out, the bolsters on the seats will eventually get ruined in time , whereas theres no worry with the sapp

 

still debating........................................

 

looks like we'll keep the 3 door for now, not really had much use out of it yet, but we've had the saff a while. got an escos to view the weekend so it looks like the saff will be up for sale soon!

 

matt - get rid of the 3dr (and let me know how much yes i am like a volture )

 

we're gonna keep the 3 door for a little while yet, we've not used it much ( & it owes us nearly 10k )
i have a few people that want the saff, just have to see if any of them put their money where their mouth is.

 

i think you would be much happier keeping the saff matt, honestly and i know lorraine really wants to get rid of the 3dr

 

Nice try tracey

 

if someone offered her silly money she may sell it, the fiesta's should be back home this week! she will more interested in that then

 

Shame you've made a decision mate, before i looked at the pics I thought sell the Saph every time but...............

OMG, Defo keep the Saph, its better condition, rare in that colour and does actually look better than the 3dr IMO!

 

I get the feeling we may sell both, my fiesta came home today so im all excited about that LOL

 

most people who know the 2 cars think the saff is the better all out car, but we feel the need to get more use out of the 3 door before we sell it.
