3 reason why i wouldnt buy this car.

1. its not grey in colour.... its blue (aurilis blue)


2. check them side repeaters out. ( i know it would be a simple change, but who ever would put side repeaters like on an escort cossy, needs shooting) and to think its looks even cooler putting a different way.


3. Wrong seats. I know ford can fook things up, but ive only seen red escort cossies with the red blockbuster interior... n ive seen aurilis blue with either grey or i think a light blue interior. am i right??


4 actually
says its only got 53k miles, so why is the dealer book stamp on the 130k mile space..

It's on the 130,000 box as it's been regularly serviced and run out of spaces-mines done 34,000 and I am on my 2nd book-I just put the correct mileage above the mileage that was on the book
Just noticed he's put mileage in too if you look closely you can see it on the 90,000 mile box

There isnt a stamp in the 130k box, its where the ink from the previous page has been transfered, you know like them butterfly things you used to do at nursery.... pretty werent they !!!

Besides as above, still needs annual service..

Plus, the trim colour was an option from factory (agreed though it is a strange combination)

ok, i stand corrected on the mileage. But to someone who wouldnt realise this (like me) would think from the picture that it has clearly done 130k miles. and maybe missed off a 1 on the description... but still, looks like too many bodges for and escort cossy. I would rather leave a big crack in my bumber than have it looking like that.
