Admitedly i have not payed for any of the work done to my rs,i managed to save a nice bit of cash this week,but as usual i save up a bit of money for something else and then something needs doing on the car
just had to get 2 new tyres for the rs which came to £120,not something you want to spend when your trying to sell it.but these things have to be done,doing a bit of overtime this week to buy some new clothes,you can bet your life im gonna have to get something else for it

rs turbos must be the worst car to make your money back when you sell it,mines had over £10,000 spent on it but theres no way your even gonna get half of that back cos a lot of people still think its nothing more than a d reg escort

Agree Paul. I wouldnt sped no where near that on a RST. Even if i thought id get the money back i just cant see what 10k would do for it!!!! You cant include running costs into the money spent on a car as thats normal. But if 10k is just mods then it would be one of the best RSTs available!
And if ranj spent 14k on mods then it would be THE best imo. Never saw owt of it tho ranj??????

I have spent one or two quid on mine...
Someone has mentioned a figure pretty close to what I have spent so far in this thread. I haven't finished it either as am just running in the engine and waiting for a few bits.
I should have spent it on a Cossie but wanted to do a Series 1 first.

about £15K including buying it. I've had the car over 3 years and spent 15K over that time so it isn't that bad. I will never sell it because I know i'd fuck all and its fast enough to keep me entertained anyway.
