Default should we sell the 3 door or the saff ???

we will probably sell one of the cars this year to fund an escos, not sure which one to sell, the 3 door is a great car car & looks awesome on the road, but the saff is so a reliable & nice to drive. we have 2 kids so i thought it would be better to sell the 3 door as the saff is still a good family car, or do i sell the saff & get a cheap focus to smoke around in till i find an escos?? i will give you details of both cars & see what you think.

the 3 door, white, 7 owners, 59k (with history) near mint trim, 330mm AP brakes, 18 comp mo's,coilovers, rebuilt 1500 miles ago, 200 block, new genuine lifters, T34, pro alloy 500 spec cooler & oil breather, all pipes are silicone, under bonnet is very clean, no cracks or splits around struts, the only thing that lets it down is the fact it had rear quarter damage in 2001, & being that the insurance company could not get a new quater panel they wrote it off (category D) it has since had a new quater & rear panel, although the quater looks rippley so i have a new one to be fitted.






the saff, ebony black, 2 owners, 94k (with history) very clean leather, electric roof, air con, 17" rondells (just refurbed & 4 new F1's) coilovers, just had major service including all belts, tensioners, genuine rad & both lower arms, stage 1 & graham goode k&n, mongoose pipe, origonal panels, only ever had the bumpers painted, the car is very clean & has never missed abeat since i've had it. (nearly 2 years)






your views people

Sell the 3door. You don't really want two 3doors, an Esc and a Sierra do you? Yep of course you do but it's not as practical as a Esc 3door and a Saff.

It's so hard to choose they are both beautiful cars, but you don't really want two 3door cars with the family?? Good luck with your choice

Both very nice moters The saph is a rare colour and a good family car but for me the 3dr it would be.

I understand the practicality bit because of the front seats, but the 3dr has loads more room in the boot doesn't it ?

Sell us the three door on a 10 year loan we can forget about in six months

The only problem with having the 3 dr is pulling the seats forward to get the kids in and out, the bolsters on the seats will eventually get ruined in time , whereas theres no worry with the sapp

looks like we'll keep the 3 door for now, not really had much use out of it yet, but we've had the saff a while. got an escos to view the weekend so it looks like the saff will be up for sale soon!

we're gonna keep the 3 door for a little while yet, we've not used it much ( & it owes us nearly 10k )
i have a few people that want the saff, just have to see if any of them put their money where their mouth is.

Shame you've made a decision mate, before i looked at the pics I thought sell the Saph every time but...............

OMG, Defo keep the Saph, its better condition, rare in that colour and does actually look better than the 3dr IMO!

most people who know the 2 cars think the saff is the better all out car, but we feel the need to get more use out of the 3 door before we sell it.
