considering a swap for the XR3i in my sig, what do u reckon?

 

Looks like a shed mate

Any car on sale as "swap, WHY??" etc. is normall a shed, and judging by the rust this one looks no different

 

shed.
if you want a capri go for a 2.8i, or a brooklands

 

that's what I want really, but can't afford to strecth anywhere near that far atm

it never clicked about the swap thing, but I thought it looked/sounded straight enough barring the rusted panels and he sounds honest enuff from what's in the ad

 

I'd go for the 2.8 at that money looks as though the doors full of pudding too

 

leave it alone.
i saw an a reg 2.8i for sale about a month ago, looked in good condition, average milage Ł1150, i think it was in classic cars trader magazine, not sure exatly on the title of the mag, was just stood in shop reading it while my fiancee was clothes shopping

 

what would MPG figures be like on this:

?

'tis a local one and what about insurance too?

also what would I look for? High mileage be a problem?

 

mpg 18
insurance is cheap, probably cheaper than your escort
look out for rust, inner wings, underneath,
cologne engine is very strong and a superb engine, i sold mine in 1998 with 125 thousand on it and i still see it about now.
