First post on this forum, so go easy on me!

Ive been to look at an immaculate 1990 4x4 Sapphire cosworth. Totally standard apart from 17" RS 7 spokes. Fully leather interior and only 34,600 miles on the clock.

Any ideas what this car would be worth realistically ? Also, how would it fair as a daily driver ?

Cheers

I would have thought 7-8 k roughly depends on colour and history .they are a good everday drive as long as you keep on top of them good luck!

How much is it going for? Make sure it has plenty history m8.

Its going for 10K, its flint grey, had all old MOT's to verfy mileage and all old tax discs.

Only two previous owners, ast owner for 14 years, however he has lost the handbook.

Will be serivced as part of the sale.

I like the car but dont want to pay over the odds.

10k is ropey escos money.

garyc

Yeah I know its strong money, but i'd rather have a mint sapphire than a ropey Escort.

£8k maximum IMO.

For £10k you could get a nice 3 door for £8k and still have £2k to buy a daily driver with!!

Just my opinion of course

garyc

Ok, cheers for all the input guys. The guy doesnt seem keen to budge on the price, maybe ill just need to haggle harder!

Yeah its going to be a daily driver, well kind of, although I dont do a massive mileage and in crap weather it prob wont be out much!

Anybody know of any other tidy ones for sale ?

That is a £10k Saph

As per my comment above about a nice 3 door for £8k, here's an example

Then use the £2k to buy a nice Escort TD or something

At the end of the day it is only worth what someone will pay for it. Low mileage does not necessarily make it a good buy, the service history will tell you the real story. Make sure that you check the usual spots for rust and if unhappy walk away, there will always be another as it is buyers market at the moment.
