Default Why is this Fiesta RS so cheap?

eBay Link

I have emailed him and spoke to him on the phone. He seems a genuine guy but i can't believe how cheap it is in compared to others on the market...

Does anyone know of it???

Seems a good one!

nothing seems to be selling at the moment so its a reasonable price,

and its not an original car so how much can it be worth, even though its had all that money spent on the engine, and no mention of service history.

I think i know of the car - if it's the right one then it's an XR2i with a turbo engine which would explain the pretty accurate price.

Fiesta's hide the rot well behind the kit, also in the rear arches next to the brake pipe mount they rot bad too, be carefull.
