How much would you lot be willing to spend on an E regi rst, just had a full respray. Has 90spec interior and bumpers, it has been chipped and had a full exhaust system, and lowered suspension (unsure of make), it would have full years mot.

what would this be worth??

ta.

 

i swopped my fiesta rs turbo for a very similar car itsan 'e' res erst fully 90 speced, chipped exhaust etc and the guy was selling it for £2500 at the time it really does depend on a lot of things like mods, service histroy, engine condition, rust (floor pans, battery trey, under fuse box, sunroof etc) wteher its got tax / mot etc etc the list goes on!

 

This is one of the main factors? - Full blow over or Full bear metal (rust removed) type?

If the first then £2000-3000 depending on the other bits, if latter then £4000-4500 or more.

 

full bear metal respray/ rebuild apparently.i will hopefully go see it tommorrow. what are the main points to look at for the engine? i know the basics like blue smoke etc, but is there anything specific to the rst to look out for??

Take the oil cap off whilst the engines running and it should stall - i.e. its breathing ok (although idle may have been wound up a bit if its cam'ed, so it might not stall but should slow the engine speed). Check cap for head gasket signs of mayonise whilst its in your hands. Idle should be around 950-1000 rpm.

Might sound tappety - which is probably worn tappets (easy fix) but older engines it prob indicates worn cam. If uprated cam is in there then it could just be noiser in the head anyway, and particularly if theres uprated valve gears, double springs etc.

 

i think ill sell my rs if the prices that are getting batted around are actually fesable(sp)
g reg, few lil paint issues, all over a nice uprated car
do old turbos SELL for more than 2grand for a minter these days?????
espec when the paper is always full of nice £1000 - £1500 1's

 

M.o.t your car and put it up for sale nige easy get £2000 for it

 

f@~* it ill put it up for 4 grand!!!!!!!!!
its full 90 spec with all the nice bits too lol

 

Thats what the owners say - there mint - yeah right!

I could sell em all day long around here in dodgy condition for £1000-1500, so half tidy ones are well over £2k

 

im takin about 'real' nice 1's, most of my mates have real nice rs's and would want a grand ish for em (we buy and sell a lot so we know what we are lookin at)
crap 1's go for £500
had plenty of below 500 1's myself just to break up
i could find plenty of good non rusty rs turbo's for a grand

 

- Wish I had some spare £££, bring some down this way mate - could make a tidy profit on transporter load!

 

ppl do say cars are cheap up here
i sell most of my bits and whole cars to ppl a long trot away

 

Your right you can pick up a tidy 1 up for a grand easy any where else and they want thousands for em.dont think you can get 1 cheaper than your £200 one hey nige

 

yup my q plate was £170 and the red d reg was £180
the black 1 was a free bee but that another story
