Wern't you recently trying to swop both your escos and saff for a tidy 3 door
If i were you i would bite his hand off as if the 500 is as you say it is worth much more than your escos!

Well as most of you know , i have 2 500"s and a minty mint escoss and to be honest i love the 500"s but if any had to go the escoss would be still be sat in my garage long after the 500"s had gone

I was offered 17k by a serious bloke for my escoss last week and i wasnt even tempted to sell , even tho it was a top offer and i will probs never get that offer again , but my 500"s would sell for a good offer

No.

Unless it was a huge spec - the kind of, would be silly not to.

Then sell the 500 and buy back my Escort

Only if the 500 had a more modern interior. I know the escos isn't great but the old sierras look plain shite inside.

From a performance and looks point of view a mint 500 is up there esp on huge splitties

i have to say, if i had a escort, i would be straight around there and giving him the keys to your car, BUT, i do have a 3dr, so i suppose its a bit biased really.
