82-83k and MINT. Well, STD apart from chip and actuator, and uprated suspension, and SS exhaust.?????

 

3k-4k.

 

I'll give ya a fiver

 

When can ya come to collect it Stevie

 

I'm on me way, make sure it's got a full tank though

 

tanks not fitted

 

Owners? History? T&T? etc etc etc blah blah blah

 

5 or 6 owners. No tax, about 7 months test.(would full mot tho).

Erm..... dunno what else?
looking like this:

 

Looks pink there mate! nice one, must be my shite monitor

 

Must be Adam cos its GLEAMING red

 

 

i recon with that info then 3kmax as they fetch around 2k max these days with that spec

4 k for a normal spec erst, nothing special just a normal modded erst, i know nothing abiut ya car but what i do know is ya can buy a decent saphy for 4500k, why buy a erst thats not that quick for 4k

where do people get there prices from i dont know

 

I wish i hadn't sold my turbo sometimes , fancy a 3dr?

 

thing is its hard to find to find a really good series 2 these days so its worth what the buyer is prepared to pay, maybe youll get Ł3-4k as ive seen the pics and it does look very nice!!

If i had the choice between an ok sapph and a mint series 2 i would choose the escort all day long

good luck lee

 

The problem is and will allways be that you put in pretty much money to get it in nice standard shape.. at the end everything you'll get for a it (sapph or rst), it's not what you expected

 

yeah but a mint standard s2 for 4k , what was tims old s2 sold for ?????

think about it adyescos is trying to sell his 2.1zvh cossie managed s2 for 4k and he couldnt get that and that had loads of monry spent on it

if ya prepared to look about ya can get a decent s2 for 2500 in standard form, BUT ive just read the resto on his car and that could help it abit , im more of a performance person rather than a spray engine bay

but ya right, i never thought lewis's car was worth 6ktbh but he got it

good luck , sorry to sound negative

 

I would rather buy a mint car rather than a spec list as you can build round a mint car , if the engine blows up on a high spec car , what are left with?? a dog with no engine

at least if the engine fails on a mint car you can still polish it

 

change the header tank...

theres nothing worse than a minging brown header tank....

just replace with nice new ford item....lush

 

I agree with all comments. Saphsyep can pick em up for 4500....and i could have had one if i wanted one...but i dont like saphs! Id rather have an escort RST.

I got the RST to play with as they are cheap and easy! If i got a 3 door i would be in same situ, keep in garage and use a tank for work!!

Wouldnt let it go for less than 3k now way. If someone wants to buy a shitter and spend loads on it then let em be!!!

Andys must not be selling for some reason....maybe its not that good condition??? With all that spec it should have sold right away!! But i not seen it so dont know!

Id P/X the car rather than let someone have it for less than 3k

 

that is nice, its standard enuf id say bout 3 and a half would a bin more but theirs quite few owners, but its mint and its true its very hard 2 get a mint s2 these days so many rusty shitters about

 

lee what did it cost ya though ????, dont say if ya dont wanna

i payed 600 quid for a mint escort tennis cabrio, full hsitory( 2 folders, mostly showing and indicating its had problems though ), came with half leathers, kit bonnet ect

i bought that on ebay JUST for the seats too

ive still got it and i wanna rebuild it too when i get time(money) , the main thing about the erst is there a stepping stone for the car ya really want but cant afford, then after buy the car some people decided they dont like em ect and go back, thats the customer ya gonna be selling it too

i wouldnt spend 4k on a standard basic spec erst, thats me and i do actually prefer ERST's imo to my saph but its not practical for me though

good luck with what ya decide and , to all the good work ya have done on it too

 

Ginge its noe secret what i paid. 3.5k in august! Then ive done the under bonnet work, removd abs and fitted the new tanks etc, head gasket and all other gaskets. I know ill not get me meoney back...like i say i bought it to play with.....as long as i get a good amount for it...as its worth it!

Cant compare it to a tenis cabrio Otherwise ill compare urs to my 2litre sierra gls which i will bet you the RSTon is minter than your safff No joke!! And i paid 400 for that

Dont know what ya mean about stepping stone to a car you can afford????? Thats not why i bought it...i can afford many cars mate....its the point of having em that dont intrest me now. I could buy an escos, but ive said before ive had one, and glad i did, but wouldnt have another stuck in garage doing nowt!!! Im buying a 3 series BMW next at around 15k...not everyones taste but i love em....and ill use that come rain or shine!!!!

 

Ps its got full SH and folder receipts etc

 

this is what am after



I like so thats all that matter

 

gotta agree wiv lee ere dnt fink the rst is a stepping stone at all, i payed 4k for mine and i also have a 735is and a TT, i have more fun drivin the rs and fink it looks better then the other 2

 

Exactly Mate! Reason i bought the RS was just something to pass time on whilst the wife is at work etc.....but i just fancy a total change

 

read the post, most people buy a erst as a stepping stone not all, my example of the tennis cabrio is its worth for the good example i got between 1200 and 1500 quid and i got it on ebay for 600 quid

i know ya have owned a escos, read my reply again, i said you car will appeal more to people who decide a erst is a car for them after a cossie more than a guy looking for a erst as a first quick car

my saph is actually quite clean, the floor is solid but has had a repair done to it and the 2 doors have rust forming ( its a white car so ya can see the brown stains more) on the 2 passenger side doors but then my cars had 2 new rear quarters in the last 2 years

oh and my saph was a cheap saph bought so i can get the feel of a cossie and not loose any money if i dont like it , hence why i never finished my 1.6 steel rodded cvh on omex/blitz boost controler ect as i wasnt sure if i was gonna like it and for the 5 grand i stuck into it i was very lucky to get the 4k i was given for my engine , so i sold it

 

so thats 3 out of 3 ppl that dnt fink the s2 is a stepping stone (so far)

 

ok ask ALL the cossie owners if tey had a erst before there erst and see what they say

one of the 3 replied owns his erst as the owner he bought it off bought a saph cossie

rudey's opinion dont count as he dont have a licence, so what ever car he has is pointless

and as for lee im sure hes had a erst before he had hes cossie and then went back which proves my point

and i still prefer my cabrio idea to the cossie BUT the cossie is more practical and aint gonna loose money like the cabrio would have , i still have a cabrio as a run about as i prefer em

 

I get ya ginge Yes i had a s2 before the cossie....but wasnt a 'stepping stone' as such....as id never thought id own an escos...i just bought the s2 as i liked em so much...i didnt think'' ill have this for now, and get a cossie later''
At the time i hated saffs(still not keen) and wait for it.......thought 3 doors were disgusting too Really like em now bud didnt at the time!!!!

Anyways.....i reckon if i sell it as i bought it ill be looking around 3500 ono....i reckon thats fair ????????

 

anyone else

 

hey when i first posted i never knew about the reso on ya car, depends on the people who want it, rememeber DOO sold his xr3i for 3k and everyone said it wasnt worth it ect ( though i wanted the shell )

lewis got 6k for his car, never thought someone would pay that but some people have bigger pockets i supose

i payed 4500 for my saffy and everyone thinks i payed too much for it , they all recon its worth 3500k

i think i payed "normal" money for it, im happy though and tbh i know i can get 4500 for it all day long for the spec, when the engines rebuild and i get a full resto respray, fit greys ect then i recon ill get 5k for it easy, would have to pe paitent to get more but im not a paitent kind of person

 

LOL been doing the engine bay since October Ginge . I like a clean engine bay. Im just wishing id never started the underside now lol....mind you, i now know its good and solid under there, and all the stuff ive taken off will be clean before i put it back on so not totally wasted effort!!!

I reckon its a damn good car for what ill be asking

 

put it up for 10k mate so nobody buys it
It's looks absolutely stunning I can't imagine how you can be parting with it!

 

It is a good one Katie, and if i had garage space id keep it just for the odd blast....but i just aint got the room for 3 cars...so it has to go. Why dot ya get Phil to buy it for u???

 

, i almost fell of me chair, hes tighter than you and me and apples put together

theres more chance of thrush buying a round in a pub

 

Lol because if I had the space to store it I'd get it myself.
Same as you mind, no garage space!
We have a double garage, but have mums softtop mx-5 in one side and some 25odd yr old triumph stag in the other....hardly as if you could leave it outside lol.....

if I can erect myself some form of garage on the drive, I'll be banging down your front door. lol

 

LOL
