Cause it doesnt look that well looked after to me, looks like a shined up shitter to sell

Also if he has such a retarded advert where there is no actual detail and he cant string a proper sentence together it doesnt bode well for the car.

If it was closer then it may be worth a trip to see it, but clacton on sea for what is bound to be a 'pile' is not worth the time IMO

If your going to buy a Fes rst - you need to pay £3-4k to get one thats not going t give you grief will get a good spec one too.

Id look for a RS1800 get the last made then should be rot free and you can sling a Turbo on it.

Or keep what you got like Si says, far cooler,

why have cotton when you can have silk

Cheers mate appreciate your comments.

Thing you have to remember is once you get to a certain standard of car the shell i.d almost becomes irelevant its the goodies on it that makes a car worth the money.

If your building a track car then shells a shell.

If your building a road/ show car then perhaps the genuine rs i.d is a good idea.

The ebay one in the flesh looks shit (see it in clacton on monday).Only thing going for it is the rims

If you want a nice frst then you will have to spend 3k+ unless your lucky.

Avoid ebay as most cars are complete shitters and look on dedicated ford/fiesta forums.

The biggest problems with Fiestas is rot.

Without looking underneath and having a poke around its

very hard to say what its worth.

But if its on e-bay then not alot

Cheers
