arnie.
I am in OZ and i have a big turbo escos as well, where do you get your spare parts, do you import them or is there somewhere over this side of the globe i can get them?
I PAID $36,000 FOR MINE THATS ABOUT 14,000 POUNDS, WITH 8777 MILES FROM NEW one owner B4 me.

 

Paid £9000 for mine in December 2006

84000 miles loads of paperwork ect but the car neede some work Detailed Thread to follow

 

I've paid £11k for mine (december 2006)

(I'm 3th owner, 100.000 Miles, complete original => never tuned, with all the paperwork and history, no damage)

 

there aren't that many left here, a lot of them had been exported to UK. Maintenance is always a problem, parts are difficult to source, I get mine from UK and the postage is outrageous! If you find an import from Japan then you are in luck, them Japs are nuts about cars! One of my mate is shipping his escos from HK to Oz, he has a buyer lined up already. The car has shorted the engine loom and doesn't move (bonnet+battery terminal=bad combination), he's selling it for 7k, but it is rust free.

 

You get what you pay for
You got yours at Jack's right?

Where did the black one go?

 

You're right Debbie

And, I know Jack very well that helps also...

The black one is sold to denmark. It getting a new life there

Now i've start from zero...but the first mod's are already done!

Magnex exhaust, DV, White repeaters (front/side), smoked rearlights, and Clifford alarm

In stock i've got some other parts, the most important thing is getting lowerd and a bit faster

 

I paid 15 thousand €uro (10 grand-ish) for mine with about
60 thousand miles on the clock 4 & 1/2 years ago here in Germany. (& yes it is LHD).

Seems to be worth roughly the same now.

 

18 and half grand. 12 months ago. Stage 1 with rondells. Konis. Ap 4 pots. And all original stuff inc wheels etc. Dont know if i over paid or not. But i certainly dont regret spendin that amount on the car.

 

£12,600 for mine in Jan 2003 - needed paint on the front but had some bits on her. Since then though she's been fully restored from top to bottom with new everything and i've spunked another £30k on her

I don't regret it though as I think there aint another car like them.

 

massive range in prices

 

A massive range in quality too i would have thought though mate.

I think people should post how much their cars stand them at now. Or maybe not.

 

a lot more than 18k

 

ive never actually added it all up BUT

now i have : car purachsed 4 years ago, plus parts and fluids (not including tax, insurance and fuel) stands me at just a smidge over £20K

and its gone at just over half that FFS wish i'd not bothered adding it all up now

 

I have spent over 10 grand in 5 years on the car, although this does include all servicing, wheels and tyres, brakes and the MAD engine conversion (and new hybrid turbo), if I hadn't spent anything on it it would probably be worth more standard
But we all do it, I dont regret it for a second

 

I was doing alright regards running costs............ till I melted a piston and spent £9k in 3 months

from date of purchase till today (not including fuel insurance tax etc)

she stands me in at circa £27-28k.........

 

I paid £13600 fo this one in 2002.



Sold it in 2004 for a tad less but with more stuff done than when I bought it, a clean and tidy motor I thought.
If I did it again I'd go for a Monte and use it at weekends only.

 

i payed 15k for mine about 4 months ago,45k 19"racing harts 378mm hi spec brakes,330 rear average boby condition stage 3,lux im well happy with mine like?

 

Can i just say that this looks absolutely.....................
