There has been a grey Rs turbo on piston head since i first starting looking for an rs turbo, so maybe nearly a year, and its alway been tere, its dropped nearly £2000. So wanting to know why, as it does look a good one.

Hmmm. To me, there's quite a few things on that car that make me wonder -

1. The wheels are in questionable taste
2. 6x9's appear to be sagging on the parcel shelf
3. Scuffs on the front bumper, both sides.
4. The clear lights on the rear
5. The crap tyres fitted to the wheels
6. The harness cushions on the seatbelts!?!?!?!

It doesn't give me a good first impression. I bet there's more to that car than meets the eye, and not for the good.

Well the car looks like it should be valued under £2k - only immaculate cars hold good money and just going off the pics it needs repairs and paint and thats what you can see so maybe a lot more hidden.

No way a £2k+ car at all guy is dreaming £1500 is much more realistic and probably what is about right for that.

the lights and wheels do look utterly horrific but doesnt look like a bad car if you can see past those things. Still sub £2k in my opinion

Private trader selling polished turds.

No mention of the CLEARLY visable paint damage, so on arrival and finding much much worse, you'll get "it's 20 years old mate, what do you expect"

Well, I expect "UPERB GOOD COND IN/OUT" as mentioned

Shitty mods so looks like the car has been in the hands of someone with little money maintaining on a budget - nice.

Good car sell, shite cars stick around because they are shote - if they were any good they would have got snapped up.

i think the way it is badly modified puts people off.

probably has a realy hard life getting thrashed everywhere, as most rsts do but, they are maintained which this doesnt seem to be

i do agree, the price is far too high for cond etc. he genereally is very good with prices, is very passionate about fords so prob took it in px. he has a couple of very very nice 500's and more genuine new spares than i care to think
