Default 20k saff

Do you think its worth the asking price?

Ok its got some good parts on it but the car just looks a bit tatty in places.

Could buy a pair of posh under pants for quarter of the price.

I don't think so and certainly not 25K. Notice how the numbers change as well in the advert, it's claimed 418 HP then changes to 468 HP! The only thing setting it apart is the low mileage (and that isn't always a good thing anyway).

Wow ÂŁ20k, I think people are starting to take the piss with their asking prices. It's funny as when a genuinely mint one comes up for sale with a genuine seller I've seen them at very sensible money but people seem to want more money for the bangers than the minters. Must make mine worth about ÂŁ25

In my opinion that would need to have a near perfect interior, completely rust free shell, matching numbers and everything present. As someone has said there is no mention of upgrades to the transmission and I know at that power it's problematic! With all that i think it's still a punt at 20k.

Looks very odd with the normal sierra grill I wonder if he fitted that as he likes it or he broke the original and could not replace it

If thats a Ł20k Saff mine must be worth Ł30k!! The engine bay is very tatty and dirty. Why has it got the wrong grille in it? If the correct one is in the boot put it on!

It should be up for half that amount!

But the original grille is included in the sale.

had a good read of the advert and I'm not one to slag an advert off normally but thats a load of bollocks!
race spec I assume theve been told it has ACL bearings in
also it has a 2 wd head fitted and the general under bonnet condition and lay out is poor, dump valve cold side conversion is bodged for example creating leak paths and so on
the turbo isn't brand new either themounting bolts have't been touched in some time!

Surprised no pics of the resto to support the value then?

Mind you, with 561 three doors on the road and only 367 Saffs the values could rise eventually. 971 Saffs are SORN though

I know my saff has had a bit of welding but that one seems to have had a lot.
