Hi

I need to value a Black Escort RS Turbo right hand drive with only 19000 miles from new. Its a 89 G plate in absolutely immaculate condition. I have no idea what this is worth and would love some good advice. Look forward to hearing from anyone.
car based in the UK

The car is completely immaculate and original.
Many Thanks

if its only done 19000 miles it should be worth a mint mate as i always tell peeps never buy any rs unless you take some one who nows loads about them and what to look for ? ther was a guy on here who bought a show car ..or he thought he did , and took it for a mot.. it was a rust bucket and failed on all sorts

It belongs to my mate and i need to sell it for him and know nothing about RS Turbo's.
Its lived in a garage and the guy is so fussy you would not believe. I need to advertise it but how do you price a car like this. A friend of a friend said how good this site was and thought it would be a good start.

Robin

Done

i've seen a few that look straight out of the showroom priced at 6-7k but its all down to what someone is willing to pay for it at the ned of the day.

Get some pics up

i agree, real mint rs can fetch top money i got this frst off a guy who lives down our street for my wife, he never hardly drove it and would never take it out in the rain, im selling it now and this is what you call mint



all standard never been chipped are even driven hard

I'll get some photos, then you can all get a better idea of the condition and will find out more about the spec and history. Hopefully will have this by tomorrow.

hi, i had an rs turbo, very standard and immaculate that i sold for my asking price of 5k no problem. i would think there was at least another grand in one with only 19k on the clock, if you could eat your dinner off of it!
hope that helps.

Hello Matt,

Have you seen your car on the RSOC BB ? The guy has took it right back to standard now!

Ginge !

ok what its worth and what people will pay within a year is the question i belive


for a start parts are not available as much anymore meaning that the cars value from a honest point of view is gonna drop,,,,, couple that with the fact a 130bhp erst is shote slow these days not to mention shote on fuel,,,,,,,,,,,,, i gotta be honest as say everyone on here who said its worth 6 to 7k aint even bought a performance car for that price and that age


toyota starlet,,,, 2k, newer and faster,,,,,, says it all really


6k and where talking RX7 type cash,,,,,, not to mention cossie and scooby cash


who would buy a 130bhp car with 19k on the clock unless they wanted a car to sit in a garage,,,,,,,,,, not saying he wont get it but hes gonna waste more than that in time wasters to get it if he does

hi adam, i've not been over there in ages, i spoke to the new owner recently and he said he had took it back to complete standard as he wants to enter concourse with it. i'll be off for a look at it now... haven't seen any pics for ages!

I remember a black ERST for sale a couple of years back with only about 8k on it in Autotrader. Had been used for some promotional work and was also mint and based in south England. It was being advertised for about 9k I think. Could be the same car though?

swerv

If I was in the market for another one then I would pay between £4-6k depending on how good it was

Please remember people who buy these types of cars are not necessarily looking for a performance car neither are they looking for an alternative, they are looking for an rs turbo with this kind of mileage.

Ask the MK1/2 boys why they buy 25-30 year old cars out-dated by everything and pay over 10k for some examples!!

All standard? looks like a non standard exhaust to me?

Never the less,nice looking car.

adamS2RST

I'd say put it on the RSOC BB too, there is always fine low milage examples advertised on there, reckon it'll do well

DanRSturbo

If it's as good as you say, somewhere within the region of 5 - 6k, but, it will only appeal to certain parts of the market. Someone who know's about them will warrant paying that for a 15 year old car.

Some Paxo owner won't

I reckon it could fetch £6K plus, but it may take time to find the right buyer.
