Default J28's 1 owner imperial Escos..................

I'd just thought i'd share my findings to save some people a wasted journey!

The first thing you notice when you walk upto the car is the chrome neon washer jets LOL

The car has had both sides painted and the paint edges inside the doors is terrible, real rough job! The top of the passenger front wing has a dry edge towards the bonnet.

Holes in the console where previous handsfree kits have been.

There are no rear badges although i think the paintwork on tailgate was original.

ALL wheels were kurbed

The sills wernt nice, the car looked like it had been out in ALL weather!

It IS a 1 owner tho and does have FULL Ford service stamps.

After speaking with the owner of J28, he said he was disapointed at how they'd done it ( think he was embarrassed TBH ) and that they the would refurb all wheels, repaint rear quarter and front wing ( again ) and also do the edges inside the doors. He said they had some paintwork done as the rear arch had a rust scab and the front wing had a slight mark???He also stated that the car would be sent to ford for a service, so it kept up the history.but the price would stay at £18500

The car isnt the worst ive seen, but at the same time for the £18500, its certainly not the best! I valued the car £16000 tops

I dont know why they dont present them right 1st time?? They may have done some of the bits by now, but i thought i'd mention it for those that are interested?

My mate bought a black 3dr off them for 8k...when the sun hit it every panel near enuff was a different shade, and it was rotten underneith. He sold it on ebay for just over 4k about 2yr ago now, after about 2yr of ownership. Ive never been impressed with their stock, always looked like over tarted up for pitch stuff at top book money and then some. Wouldnt recommend them to a friend anyhows lol
