Default Why no bids on this XR2i Turbo?

Is there something wrong with it that I don't know about?! (Apart from the Lexarse lights and painted dash) Am slightly interested in looking at it!

Dunno what the reserve is, but I'd pay up to £1,400! I seriously dunno what FRST's worth these days, thought way over £2k

You could get a real one for £1,400 and you dont have the problem of changing it on the log book

hmm lol your right, I was exagerating, I never pay over £1,400 for gen ERST's let alone a non gen RS. (Actually prefer Escorts, but this Fiesta seemed cheap!)

I must be looking in the wrong places if you can get a FRST for £1,400! (Ones that aren't dogs) Point me in their direction please!

For £1400 it would be a right nail. Some of the so called mint cars I viewed at £3k+ were buckets of bolts.

Mate, when I wanted mine I trapsed all over the fookin country to find a goodun. Everything I viewed around the £2k mark was a complete dog. I made a trip to south Wales to view a car that was described as mint with 200bhp and when I got there I found a snot box with 11psi and a paint job that looked like it had been done by a drunk Albanian.

Must have viewed 20 cars or near damn it. Unless my standards are too high and others are happy with lemons, I don't know

Well a guy not really knowing what he had isn't a typical situation is it? I'm going off the typical examples that were on the market when I was looking.
