Default Escort cossie worth - Rock bottom ????????

Is it me or has the prices of escort cossies fallen dramatically recently ??

Seen a few going for around £8000 to £10000 grand and they have been pretty good condition although not modified much.

I have been seriously thinking about selling mine for the last few months but at these prices better to keep it or break it I suppose.

I know mint concourse cars with low milage still fetch good money but it would seem that anything less that this, the market has bottomed.

Gutting to me as I paid £18000 for it 5 years ago.
It was an RSOC concourse car, with low miles (25000) and unmodified but now its very modded, high powered ish, and has one or two stone chips as I have given it a hard life on the track.
Had this car a long time and am bored with it.
Something I find hard to beleive I am saying as this was my dream car.

i wouldnt worry too much. People are looking for the same money 5 years on (£18000). Its fair to say you have had your fun and enjoyed it. Most people dont get that.

I cant see you loosing out too much tho?????

I think they still hold very good money, and cant see them dropping

JamesR,


Didnt expect to get what I paid but it does now have some good bits on it !!!

Even now I dont think I would get over £10000 for it even with all the bling bits on it !

shame simon. not really much else to say i dont think
just a shame you are bored of it

thing is, what car would you not get bored of?
thing being, if you have had a close on 500 BHP 4x4,, where do you go from there if your bored!?!?!

Got 13.5k for mine 2 or 3 months back, 50K on the clock with fsh and it was a motorsport model. I think good ones are still in demand to the right person...

Was a nice genuine car and i do miss it but needed the money.

I would say that Escort Cosworth prices overall seem to have dropped slightly recently, but the prices for standard or near standard cars seems to just keep going up and up.

I saw a 1995 Imperial Blue one, one owner with FSH, nearly 70000 miles and he wants £18500 NO OFFERS

CRAZY!!!

yeah but its the same idea as the soliciters and plumbers argument

a solicitor gets a much higher wage than a plumber even though 1 is of more use

reason for it is soliciters all wont drop there price so ya have the choice of paying or dont get help

but with a plumber you will get a new plumber who will under cut ya and so ya get a price war


in a nut shell aslong as ya all ask the same money for the cars then peeps will buy em,,when a few undersell it sets a version of a president and then people think thats the going rate for a escos

i personally would rather a R32 than a escos cossie but then im wierd

I was offerd 17.5k for mine 3 weeks ago and mine has 61k on the clock ( it is stunning tho ) an i said NO ,
Stunning escoss"s are still fetching BIG BIG money as a minter is hard to find now .
Big moded and hard driven cars are the cheap ones for sale
