I have a rather large stash of cash burning a hole in my pocket waiting to be spent on the right car. I am after one preferably in either of the blacks (Ebony or Ash). Must have leather, the more standard the better and the ideal mileage I would've thought to fit my budget would be between 50 and 70k. I genuinley am in a position to buy as from now (cash at home) so if you know anybody or if you yourself want a quick hassle free sale then please don't hesitate to contact me as I'm currently car-less after selling my Clio Williams last week! Any info will be gratefully received, Cheers!

 

Come on surely someone wants a nice wad to stash deep in their pocket?! Would I get any more response if I was to broaden my search colour-wise and say I'll seriously consider either Imperial, Pacifica or Petrol Blue then I wonder??

 

stunning white low mileage one in the cars for sale section,you wont get better for the money theres cars out there with double the mileage for this price

 

Sorry Pete I have spotted your white one & yeah I totally agree with what your saying about the mileage thing but my heart is set on either Black or Blue unfortunately! Cheers anyway!

 

you tried auto trader mate a few in there

 

Keep on having a scan through what the Trader has to offer mate yeah but there isn't anything that perfectly fits the bill to be honest! I know there's that Black one at 'Trident Performance' but it's got 74k on and I'd like to stick to my guns and say not more than 70k tops!

 

i am sure there was one for sale around the woking area where i am i will try to get some inffo for ya if i can find where it was again.

 

If you could mate yeah I would be most grateful, getting more and more desperate every day! I WANT AN ESCORT COSWORTH!!!

 

i know how you feel mate, i had to sell mine when i got back to uk last time no one would insure me on it

it was 1 owner white small turbo left hooker mint and only 35k i was gutted, then got a mk2 rs2000 turbo and now the 3dr but not the same they are the daddies the esc cos and i off back to germany soon so will be on the look out for another one

 

Yeah I've been saving my money for the past year and every week I'd tease myself by having a look what was on offer even though I couldn't yet afford one, now I've got the money sat here waiting to be spent they've all disappeared off the face of the earth! Bummer!!

 

whats your limit mate i know of 2 4 sale

 

14k tops mate, does that qualify for any of them?

 

What, black ones?

 

theres an ash black one on the autotrader, i viewed it a couple of weeks ago, its owned by a chinese family, they've had it from new, its jap import, but i hpi'd it & it came back clean, they imported it brand new, & because its a jap spec one it has aircon aswell. it was stage 1, standard wheels, leather, nice stereo etc....
the worse bits were they had put M3 style mirrirs & a dimma style fuel cap on it but that could be easily sorted. bodywork was not mint but not hidious,
it had the normal parking dents & a scabby bit on the bottom of the drivers wing.
it was a genuine looking car, i belive the guys dropped the pricr to Ł10,250 now aswell, so if you could bid him down under 10k it makes a cheap car, leaving some money for a bit of bodywork & a set of wheels. it also had a magnex pipe & koni's.

 

Yeah I spotted that one myself but it's got a few more miles on than I'd like and to be honest I'd rather spend that bit more to get a completely unmessed with example! Thanks for the info though Guzzler, much appreciated Mate

 

No worries, its a long drive for you aswell..
just hold tight, one will show up soon

 

Never mind this money burning a hole in my pocket, it's setting my leg on fire now!!! Well I didn't think it would take this long to get my hands on an EsCos I must admit, none of you wanting to part with your black or blue Beasts obviously???

 

Mint black one on the RSOC but I'd imagine Ł19000 is a too much for you.

 

Unfortunately about 4.5k too much for my budget mate yeah Sounds an extremely nice car for somebody though!

 

This one looks alright:

FORD Escort Cosworth Big Turbo,
L reg. tax & tested, 20 inch Grooved discs, 365 BHP, 50,000 miles with FSH, full electric pack, Pacifica blue, superb cond throughout, all Cosworth refinements, not the usual rubbish, first to view will buy. Ł12,000. no offers.

Distance: 245 miles from Essex

20 Inch Brakes??? Hmmm!!!

 

20" brake discs under 16" rims?- yeah very interesting!! I've spotted this one myself M7 COS, it's on the Trader website isn't it?!
Yeah it looks OK but to be honest the horsepower figure was putting me off it a little as I was ideally after one as standard as possible! It doesn't actually say that it's got Leather either and you'd think if it did then they'd include it in the advert wouldn't you?! To me it looks to be missing it's front splitter aswell and aren't they meant to be extremely difficult to get hold of these days??

Don't think so, you could easily get an original one when someone breaks one.

 

my mallard green one is for sale but it need a gerabox

 

I'd rather spend that bit more and get a completely straight one to be honest Stevie, sorry!! It's looking more and more like I'm gonna be relying quite heavily on finding my next car at the National Day at this rate, WHERE HAVE YOU ALL HIDDEN YOUR BLACK & BLUE ESCOSSIE'S?? Is there generally quite a good selection up for grabs there and which day would everyone recommend going (can only really go one day out of the two) from a car buyers point of view?? Is it a case of having first pickings on the Saturday, but on the other hand is there more to choose from on a Sunday??

 

Sunday is the day to go mate.

I doubt they'll be any cars for sale on the Saturday as it's primarily a track day.

 

Excellent cheers for that M7 COS, I'll be taking your advice

 

No problem...I want first dibs on any Imperial ones though!

 

Fair play, although I think you'll have a bit more to spend than me anyway?!!

 

I keep having to up what I am prepared to spend as the prices keep getting stronger and stronger.

 

Yep I know what you mean, when I originally set out on my mission to buy one I set myself a budget of about 12k How wrong could I be!!!

 

I think this one's worth a look.

This one looks okay too. You'd have to give them a call about colour and mileage though. It's definitely a dark colour, but not necessarily black.

Phoned up about both cars! Second one is Aubergine with 90k on the clock, it did almost look black in the pic though didn't it I must admit?! The Ash Black one I am hopefully going to have a look at tonight so I'll keep you posted! Fingers Crossed

 

Good on you mate!

Hope it works out for you.

 

DAMN!!! Rang up about the Ash Black one earlier to confirm if it was still there or not, bloke say's "yes it's still here" so I said to him would it be OK for us to come over and see it tonight? He say's "that should be fine yes but just give me a ring back as your about to set off at 5:30 to double check that I'm available"-fair enough! Ring back at 5:30 to find out that in the mean time his business partner has taken a small deposit on it!! We obviously let him know that we was all set to come and take it off his hands and pay cash tonight but to be fair to the bloke he did feel bad about it himself! He did stress that it was only a small deposit that they'd received so as the situation stands he's giving me a ring back tomorrow to let me know either way if it's sold or not?! Let's just hope now that the "Deposit Leaver" is relying on getting a loan or something and he/she can't get one!! I didn't at all imagine that it was going to be this impossible to get my hands on a standard-ish black or blue Cossie

 

You dont want a black or blue one, RED ones are faster!!!

Buy mine!!!

Ł13,000 and its yours... GG 305 Conversion!
