I've been offered a 3 door as px for the escort, its concorse aparently with 53,000 miles and totally standard including exhaust etc etc. He's wanting 11,500 for it but tbh i was thinking its worth more around the 10k mark

If it is spotless, has good clean history, completely original, i recon 11.5k isn't far off the mark.
I sold my 3dr 12mths ago spotless/concourse, a few mechanical mods stg 1, 30k mls for around that.

Impossible to say really until you see it. If he wants Ł11.5k for it then he's obviously prepared to come down a bit. If it is as described, id be starting at Ł10k first. It also depends on how much discount you would have given for a cash sale on your car. If say you would take Ł11,500 cash for yours, then offer him Ł11k at most, and then in effect you have got the 3 door for Ł10k. Then you can sell the 3 door to me for Ł10,100.

Having said that, can you REALLY get a true concours 3 door for around that money?

Alps Pacino

I was going to say 2k and his car against mine, just for the fact thats what i'd personnaly be happy at cause tbh what the fuck do i want with a buffty 3 door. I want to be out doing dounuts not polishing my fueltank

Its up for 12,500 which is a good cheap price for it tbh, a lad cme round to look at it recently and agreed but cant decide if he is going to sell his scooby and buy it though

PT

yours looks to be worth 12.5k easy mate. Be firm with your price, it will sell

I've only had it up less than a week on pistonheads, i know its worth that cause its a nice straight honest car, fair do's there a few marks here and there but no rust on it and the underside is totally rot free. I hate px's as both people have to agree where as in a straight sale its easier imo

This car would be wasted on you then

Don't get it as many people would sell a arm or leg for a minty mint 3dr.

Good luck selling the Escort

No offence but if end up getting it and decide to fully strip it cage it and make a track moster out of it then its my money and my car, it wont be wasted on me at all i'd use it for what its designed for DRIVING not putting on axle stands for people to admire my shinny pipe lol

As you say if you bought it you could do what you like with it

Im not into this concours crap either to be honest but i do like to see a good clean unmessed car

I did try th other day to pay my gold membership but paypal wasnt working for some reason. If i wanted to advertise on here then i would advertise on here.

Believe it or not passionford isnt the be all and end all of the ford world

arkley

I know how much it's up for, how much did u pay for it is what I was asking Was it somewhere round the 10k mark?

Alps Pacino

arkley

In a word NO

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

So why ask the question Havent you answered the question yourself

Personaly i would say the 3 door was cheap if its as good as he says it is

Alps Pacino

Because thats just a pure guess on my part, other people could value this sort of car more accuratly than me, its been valued at 12k by the rsoc but all the past valuations on for sales adds have always been a couple of k more than the asking price

arkley

What it's worth to the RSOC and what it's worth to normal people are probably different though mate

Alps Pacino

arkley

Thats what i'm trying to get at, its only worth what people will pay at the end of the day, thats why my escort is up for 12,500 which i think is a realistic price

the car is ex concours 52k original everything...not even had stage one....its the muts nuts............i (imho) think u would be better off selling urs and buying a 7k 3 door,and spending the rest on mods

jacko

im with pete here alps you dont like the escort cos its not as fast as your old saph so why get a realy slow 3 door and pay alot of cash for it just cos its realy clean and then spend a shit load more geting it to go how you want it to

Stoo

But it's a good clean, straight car. I remember reading Alps say that if he got a 3dr, he would be keeping it for a long time.

Better to have a good car to start with, then slowly you can mod it to how you want over time?

pete mcrash

iTrader: (1)

....no mate....he's going to put a cage in it and fuck it......the car is toooooo goooood for that

jacko

yeh but for an ex concorse car your paying a premium becouse of how clean it is under neith where as you can still buy a clean car ie no rust for less

Stoo

Hmmm, yeah, true

Yeah thinking about it...it'd make sence to get a cheaper good one than a minty mint one..

jacko

i was at national day talking to neil callan on the carwise stand and the white 600 bhp 3 door was there and the bloke that used to use it for concorse noticed it was his old one and nearly cried and said whats he done this used to be a nice car to which i replied impruved it he walked off

Alps Pacino

pete mcrash

I aint goig to put a cage in it and fuck it, i love 3 doors and thats why i would love an absolute minter. If i did get a bufty 1 i would leave it standard but use it in the summer. I also have use of my integra and my golf will be my track weapon so i have no need to put a cage in it.

As stoo said i would be keeping a 3 door for many years cause it is THE car for me, so i wont be fucking it.

Ps i do sy things in jest and to wind people up you know and not mean them
