How can you say they are holding their money?

It hasn't sold at that price yet!

That Escos is a one-off with that spec, so you can't possibly compare it to your average Escos' which are now selling at anything from £9.5k. The higher priced ones aren't selling, just look how long they have been on PH.

Looks nice, but is it worth 25k?


Only what someone is willing to pay for it... People put high prices, so they can get a decent offer..

Looks at Kev's MK2

Agreed Lynne, look at Nick's car (Mad RST), for sale at 20k+ for over a year!

i spoke to the bloke about a month ago, and he said he had 2-3 proper buyer, as i was seriously interested in it. (but not at 25k), but it does have quite a bit more spec wise than advertised in the advert, bloke was really nice to chat too.

This car was for sale through Duncan @ automotive unlimited a few months ago.

When I sold my monte six months ago, it was only for sale for three weeks, and I got exactly what I wanted for it, which was top money

You better get to Ford Fair with me and see it run for the last time in Kev's hands then!

like said cars are worth what folk are willing to pay, mine is on there at the moment ( http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/191775.htm ) and i priced it to what i think it would cost to replace it(if possible) every one thinks there car is mint and only the honest straight examples are worth good money. the way i look at it is:

IF THE GUY SELLING THIS CAR GETS £25k FOR IT, TURN ROUND TO HIM AND SAY GO AND BUY ANOTHER EXACTLY THE SAME AS IT. EVEN WITH 25K IN HIS POCKET HE WILL FIND IT HARD TO REPLACE.

I've just bought it and offerd him £500 over the asking price as I knew even still I was getting a real bargain.
