Very tempting.

 

Ive been ringing that all day and nobody answers

 

Mat, for sure mate, if it is what it says i think that'll be gone by the end of the week...


Get up there pal as i know you fancy one..

 

Paul, a steal me thinks this pal...

 

Now that looks nice, would be interesting to see some up to date pics ....

 

This is the second RS500 listed on that website ,both stupidly cheap and both no answer and no voicemail

Scam for sure

 

I tried ringing all day yesterday too

 

Hmm, very dodgy then fellas by the sound of it....

The other black one is a guy who stays about 40 miles from me.Saw him down at Kendal Show.He did say he was going to Knockhill back then,so you may see the car there if he has not sold it if you are keen on it.I have just bought a White one for £18500,and that is what the cars are worth.30K+ RS500's are not selling,and as another member said on another thread,the vendors who are looking for this kind of money have had their cars for sale for months now,most of them fat greedy traders looking to make a quick buck.Ask them how much they paid for them......

 

Not sure that's the case I've spoken to him.

 

Yep I've also tried mate.....

 

thats gonna be snatched up pretty soon

 

bet you all paul gets there first fair play mate

 

Anyone know of the whereabouts of the other RS500 in the picture,E999 RSD? It was supplied new by Ford RS Dealer Dalblair Of Ayr,and was owned from new by its then Managing Director John Gould.Used to see it often in the mid 1990's going round the track at Knockhill,which is where i think the second picture was taken.According to the DVLA Database it has not been taxed since 1997.

 

[quote=RS500nob;5513820]I think this is a wind up merchant

There are a LOT of rs500"s that are selling for 50k plus , the best cars dont get advertised and sell within hours

I would love to see this white 500 you paid 18k for

Probable the ringer white one that was for sale in cumbria

 

Is that the one that used to be the black one Paul? Around 22K if i remember right? Sorry to dissapoint you,but it is not that one,like yourself i know these cars inside out and know what to look for.Sounds to me you are a bit annoyed that you did not get there first.As i have already said much as i love these cars they are glorified Ford Sierras which were cheaper than a basic Granada new,and as such are not worth 30K.I gather you own a collection of them,and seem to be a bit pissed off at them not being worth what you think they are worth.Wake up,no RS500 will,and probably never will be worth 50K in todays money,and anyone who pays that for one now needs sectioned.To me you sound like a businessman who wheels and deals in these cars/parts,and is getting a bit worried in a collapse in the values of them like they did in 1989-91.Most expensive commodities devalue in a recession,so succumb yourself to the fact that the days of 30-40 and 50K RS500's are probably a thing of the past.It could be that in a year or two £17K for an RS500 might be expensive! Personally i don't give a flying f... if they drop to £500 as i have 2 of them because i am an enthusiast,and rest assured they will hopefully still be with me when i am getting carted off in a coffin!

 

Im quite happy that my investment is VERY VERY safe in my rs500"s

Congratts with finding a cheap white 500 ,

Sorry to disapoint you but im not anoyed you found a cheap 500 ,infact im quite happy for you, I got one of mine at a bargain price also so know how nice it is to get a bargain

 

Thank you Paul,although £18500 was a bit expensive compared to the £8500 i payed for my black one back in 1994!

 

any pics of these bargain 500's?

 

Not at all , altho you probs wont agree , £18500 for a gen white 500 is the bargain of the year ,

I would advise anyone looking for a gen white 500 to expect to pay a min of 25k for a car that needs work

All you need now is a cheap moonstone and you have the full collection

 

congrats on finding a white one for that price

were you actively looking for a white one ,or did you buy this one cause it was such value ?

 

Ha! Just dug out a "Top Marques" circa 1994,and there is a Moonstone Blue one in it for £8495! Wonder if he still has it?

 

Well with your luck with rs500"s i would ring and ask

 

Paul, who bought your 8000miler White one?? now that was something else, it was 8k wasn't it iirc??

 

I get it on Monday,so i will get some up then. Photos of the other "cheap" ones can be seen on Car and Classic.

 

6,900 to be exact

I sold it to a bloke for the isle of man , then bought it back and sold it to a collector from the souther region

 

man, i would have killed for that car Paul, how is it now mate still clean and low milage??

 

to think an rs500 cost the same as a 2wd saph new eh.....crazy

 

Real fucking tears here paul........

 

I remember selling E320 0VG (MOonstone 500) in the early 90's for £6500

 

We have all done it Martin

but £6500 would have been a good price then

 

Paul what ever happened to stuart whyte's one you got did you do anything with it ?

 

It was considering I'd bought it for £6k, removed the T4, plenum and loads of other stuff and fitted std 3dr parts in their place, sad thing is it actually drove better on the T3

 

Loved the drive on a t3 but t34 better
T4 is the motorway i think

And well Still not the cheapest RS500 i know !

 

Speaking as someone who trades commodities for a living, rest assured that in a recession, most high value rare commodities in a small marketplace actually hold or appreciate in relative value.

 

Lol,

Martin, i used to be into E30 M3s heavily and i had a 2.5 Sport Evo with only 13k miles on it and sold that for 13k, now the same car is 45-50k too.. but it's all relative..

 

I was going to say somthing to the same effect but thought i was waisting my time as im still quite posotive this fella is just trying to get a reaction

Hey Alistair

 

So the RS500 registra for the RSOC doesn't know the values of the cars or what they are currently exchanging hands for? lol, all 500 owners a fucked then.

 

im only posting so i can see pics of these 500's when they appear.
i recently looked at a 3 door which should have been in a museum if it was as good as what it should have been,original paint,panels,never been out in the rain or wintertime,56k,2 owners,420 bhp,ended up being a complete shed,i personally wouldnt get too excited about a cheap rs500 as its prob just as rusty as any other badly cared for d reg sierra which is sadly true for most cosworths,its the owners who see proper mint cars going for 50k and want some of that wedge for their below avg car.
