Good to hear it Dave!

Been to see mine today, shell was painted last weekend and doors,bonnet, skirts etc today.......WHAT A JOB, they all look like theyve been flatted and polished and its only the gun finish! Will have to get tissues out when all back together and polished!!!

 

I know exactly what you mean, I was going to do this about 3 years ago but the whole 500 'scene' at that time was ridiculous and I didn't want a part in it, so stayed with the Escort and made some good friends.
Now Paul is the new registrar things seem to be looking up and it's now or never, I have to take the chance that with mine sold I can find a nice 500 or I will just get another Escort anyway

 

My mate has a black one and I love the lag it makes it feel like a rocket when it takes off and his is only a stage one

 

paul we have the same thoughts there then!mine would be white too.i love them and would love one in the future.but if i had an escy it wouldnt be mallard it would be polaris or gloss black.

 

Hi mat i think that 20k might be a touch to high but you never know, if you look at daves for sale at the moment for 24k and not shifting. People dont seam to have the money (20k +) for a ten year old plus escort and i carnt say i blame them really as you can get some very nice cars for 20k new, would like to think that my car is worth 25k plus but to get strong money i would need to brake it as it worth far more in bits, your best bet would be to put it back to as near to standard as you can and sell the bits

Car standard about Ł15k
19" OZ RIMS Ł1.5k or a bit more
MO`s Ł1300
Front brakes Ł750 ?
Rear brakes Ł200 ?

Other bits ? that way your 20K is reached

 

I would say between 17 and 18k, I think if you put it up at 20k it will take a long while to sell.... imo...

Good luck though...

 

Was looking through the pics on www.rscarshows.co.uk today and realised what a mistake I may be about to make

Someone find me a moonstone 500 quickly

 

you either go 500 or stick to what you have bud.it may be hard to find an escy that will live up to the one you have once sold.at least the 500 is a different car and isnt the same to compare.

 

Intersested in the super legs if up for sale Mat?

 

I will post on here when they go on Ebay-I have had lots of interest on here already so Ebay seems the best bet

 

Hi,

I have never really posted on here before, so

Matcos,

I only just bought my EscCos and I paid as much as I could afford. I spent a long time looking, and found some good and some bad cars...
Your car is awesome. If I had not just bought one, and could have stretched my budget enough I would of had yours for Ł20k.

I think your car would be well worth this much - sure you are looking for a pretty select market (tuned and modified EscCos) but believe me someone will pay what it is worth in the end. Unfortunately there are not that many people who know what good escort Cossies are really worth!

I hope you get what you car deserves - she is a beauty, and up there with my 'very short list' of favourites.

Good luck.

 

Hello mate

With post's like this you will do fine on here



Thanks for your kind words-do you have any pics of yours for us all to see

Keep posting and you will soon find we are a very helpful bunch and will give you advice and tips when you need them, there are some VERY informative people in here

 

This is the best room of the forum imo, never a crossed word

 

i agree

 

I agree too

 

yep me too...even stu said so too

 

have to agree! and i own a taxi saff i tend to be in here or gd the most as the sierra room aint too flowing.

nice bunch of chaps(and the odd girlie)who are all cicil and very helpful and knowledgable

 

Thanks for making me feel welcome guys.

I am chuffed that I can come to here if I need any help or advice with my EscCos. There are clearly a lot of people here who know exactly what they are doing - and judging by the quality of the cars I am sure i would not want to go anywhere else for advice or help.

Matcos, I will get some pictures up on here as soon as i work out how to? I am a bit of a on a PC, and you need not thank me because I am genuinely inspired by a car as stunning as yours, and although it will take me a long time to do so, one day I hope mine will also look as accomplished and clean. Just, if you have to sell it, dont give it away!

Once again, cheers all for the welcome.

 

You need to go to the 'uploader' function at the very top of the page, open an account and it will tell you what you need to know-it's really easy.

And this makes it even easier

Thanks Matcos, will give it a try now and let you know if I get any joy.

I personally think your mad to sell it mate

 

Never say never (Mish Moneypenny) unless the right 500 comes up it's not going anywhere

 

matt we'd all like a 500 , but i wouldnt want you to sell your escos
regardless of price you got for it ,then a fortnight later regret it . then spend months looking for another one which wont be near the level yours was .
best of luck
