Default TO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
I was browsing and found this 1995 Escort Cosworth on Auto Trader, it look's spotless and has 38,800 miles on the clock, but it's only £12,995!

6th picture down:

I was interested in this, but it seem's a bit too good to be true, what's your opinions?

That does seem a bit cheap for a car with just a small ding in the roof. If its for real, then its one hell of a car, and I'd be having it

It's been on the RSOC for a good few months.

Worth a view in my opinion, but I'm pretty sure it's had plenty of owners and seen a fair bit of paint.

I looks more like a stress crese from frontal impact than a dent caused by a falling box
