Was just wondering as I walked home from the chippy, how much were the 3 doors, the saffs and the Escos when they were brand new and in the show rooms?

 

3drs were approx £16k new.

Sapphire 2wds ended up at £20ish.

4x4s were £24k (and briefly £28k)

Escorts ended up being £28k...

 

i thought escort cossies were 22k new i have 1992 mag and says they were (ill just check in the mag)

£23,450 exactly

????????????? where does 28k come from??

 

My 1991 Saphire 4x4 still has its original bill of sale, including its extras the original owner paid a whopping

£28,400. !!!!

And I've got it advertised in the for sale section on this forum for only £4,500

 

alot of money considering the age top stuff

 

what kind of extras that the 'normal' 4x4 cos didnt have

 

Hmm interesting.... 3drs and Escos's seem to go for around half their brand new retail price but Saffs can be picked up for a quarter of their value easily. Why is that then? Did they make a huge number more Saffs than they did the other Cossie's?

Was there a price difference between small turbo Escos and Big turbo, and was their a difference between the regular 3dr and the RS500?

 

Read my post, I said they ENDED up being £28k when they announced production was ending . My car was bought for £28k SECOND HAND with 9k on the clock .

Sapphire 4x4s went from £24k to £28k, then back to £24k .

 

So what did they start at then Mike? BTW have you ever considered teaching with your love of correcting folks?

 

back then you could buy a house for that!

 

£28k for a glorified Beantin??!!

 

Jay,
Can't you read? Carl has already posted up the price they started at in 1992...

Consider yourself having received a "red cross, must try harder " !

 

LOL sorry I was distracted by your little green man making his 10000th appearance in a Mike Rainbird post!

 

LOL

 

Blimey, they were proper expensive!

 

 

YEAH they were expensive but they were and still are a very good car!!!!

 

You can buy a brand new Evo for 20K now

 

and how many do they sell...

i bet not as many as the cosworths did for their higher price back in the day!!!!

an evo looks like darf vader

 

3dr cosworth prices were as follows:-

max retail price.....................£16,556.10
Optional paint finish-black......£105.41
Optional paint finish-metalic...£148.59
delivery charge....................£136.17

thats everything included


How sad am i

 

 

Most expensive Cosworth out the show room was the Rouse sport sapps 30 to 33k

Could see why they never sold 100 models 33k for a saff

 

NOW

Compair the prices of,lets take the 3DR, To a 3 bedroom house back in 1986

3DR=£16,000

3 Bedroom house in VERY nice area=£20,000


Look even more expensive now

That would be like buying a £200,000 car nowadays

 

tickford modifidy 497 3dr's for touring car racing t4 turbo 8 injectors pectel p6 mang and rear suspention don't no the price difference

 

The RS500's were just under £20k.

 

Quite expensive in their day then.

I know this was for uk ones, but for some comparison here goes.

Escorts are priced at around 20k +
