Default 9Is it just me or are escos prices falling???????

just been on the trader there and there seem to be good examples with low miles and full history for £13,000-£14,000. I am thinking that there is obviously more of a market for a newer better equiped jap cars nowerdays for the same money, so are the prices falling cause thats the only way to sell them. After all an escos imo is nicer than the jap equivelants but thats because i am a ford enthusiast, and imo an escos will only be sold to a ford enthusiast, thuis limiting the market considerably.

Prices are going up for the decent ones I think. Look at the number of people who have been out there looking for over a year for the right one!

i agree that the minty mint ones will always hold there value as everyone wants the best, but i mean the cars that are in GOOD condition i mean spotless interior but might have a couple of scratches or slight dings good examples not perfect. They must be a hard car to sell cause they aint exactly ground breaking anymore are they, infact i would go as far as to say they are oldhat outdated overpriced status symbols. Where is the extra 10k worth of car to a k plate lux saph 4x4 cos. O and before i get shot down for slagging them i myself would like to own 1 but would prefere to put my money in a rs500

I wasn't talking about minty mint ones, just fairly clean examples, un-crashed and with all original panels!! Getting harder and harder to find it would seem!
