I'd have rather seen/read/heard how the car preformed at a few trackdays to get better idea off how well it performs.Looks well on paper though.Regards,Micky

Suckers

Pete is a mate of Stu's and is winding him up.


Car is worth every penny of the 8.5k he's asking but is worth more in bits.

Problem is that buying an ERST at 8.5k is far too rich unless it was a proven time and time again car.


Stu knows this and it will be in bits soon I am sure.

I can see it happening.... No one in my eyes will buy it at 8.5k, One its not an RS, If it was then maybe some supernerd concourse guy may have had it

but its just a Mk4 with a bloody good engine



Get it broke Stu

I know what your saying and 5 years ago I'd have agreed but quite frankly now it matters not a bit.. RS is a load of shite.... its just about fast fords...

However - it does require breaking.

What a waste to break it ... People will quite happily throw 20k at an RST/ Cossie, but they all end up getting broken for people to do it thier way .... Stu, keep it dude get the PS3 flogged

I understand hes spent quite a lot on the engine at NMS, but when you modify a car you rarely get it back. When this car was originally for sale it was 4k,,, which complete is worth that,, or maybe a touch more now.

Not been an RS does effect its value imo,,, should definetely brake the car to get the best return

I don't see where the cash is in breaking a car like this though?

Ok i can see a few k, but not 8500, plus the hassle etc.

The downpipe is a mess, a 13 quid 2.5" mandrell bend would gain a couple of ponies and look a lot better IMO.

Nice car, not keen on the wheels.

I agree. I dont see 8.5k in bits? I see about 5k max.

I like the car (not the wheels) but its worth about 5k and if advertised for that would probably sell straight away.

Very nice car

I do believe it cracked and Stu had to have it all re-done?

I also believe it was the previous owners attempt anyway

Must say the car looks awesome, lovely and mint and a wicked spec, interior is gorgeous! Just read the feature on it yesterday

No offence, maybe it's me, but I can't even see it breaking for 8.5k! I hope i'm wrong for Stu's sake!

Keep it mate, it's a wicked car!

Edited because I can't spell

Having driven the car I can confirm that the car is a beast!

But I also think it's going to be difficult to get what he wants for it as it is so I suggested to him that he takes the engine etc out & puts the car back to standard then sells the car cheaper & sells the engine etc seperate.

That might be a better way for him to recoup some of the money spent on the car.

no disrespect meant here but.....

end of tyhe day its not a genuine RS, which in some peoples eyes, will totally put people off. There is absolutely no chance of getting 8.5k for that car.. yes it looks tidy, yes its probably quick, but all it is, is an xr3i with a quick engine in it..

No dig intended here its a lovely car, and I for one would like to see it sold in one piece rather than bits... If the price was reduced to 4k maybe 4.5k tops, I'd have it...

no way would you get close to 8.5k in bits or as a whole.
it was probably worth more in bits before the decent managment was raped off it and old cossie managment was put on.

fact he dont even mention its a turbo in the title wont exactly attract buyers either.

downpipe isnt bad, not pretty, but would work just as well as if it was one piece. its a smooth bend still. function over form.
