Capri will be worth more in the end......Providing it's a nice one.

If you maintain/restore it, it'll be worth even more.

if it was a every day car i would choose the xr but if it's something for a
bit of fun then it would be the capri dont forget the xr4i

Capris are great but go for the XR4x4. Easy to mod as anything that fits a saph will fit an XR.

Depends what you want it for.

As said a good capri will hold its money.

Good 4is are nice, arse out fun etc + more comfort than a capri. You get the best of both worlds with the 4i, RWD and a XR which you want

capris look bad ass but are too old and rusty,xr4is are ok but the seats are crap and are mostly ragged,xr4x4scan be converted to rwd if ya take out the front shafts aswell.
