The cheapest of the Sapphire Cosworths can now be picked up for £3000. Do you reckon this is now rock bottom for the 2wd Saph, and we will start to see a levelling off of depreciating or is there much more to come?

Whjat do you guys reckon?

i thought they had gone up in price personally

gurnE

Try £2000

Graceland

try £1600 for a ropey one


mind you, i gave £3600 for my K plate 4x4 saff just before the prices started getting silly again, i was lucky

The quality is sooo variable though, until you've actually seen them you only see the price tag, they are always mintas in the advert - there are a lot of stinkers around which make the prices look low... a nice one on the other hand..

fuel price should help it keep its price

Graceland

i got lucky i must admit

Ginge !

there at a age where some people will not know what people are willing to pay and sell em for what they think

HPI price guide values a clean low milage one for AS MUCH AS 1000 quid , that was for a mates 302r rouse too

300 quid if tatty

missus old man is thinking of buying a clean 62k saph cossie for 2500 fora toy as he likes mine, he said that to use yesturday after noon,,,,,,, THEN he noticed the stripped cossie engine in the corner of our front room and i told him that i just bought another engine as to rebuild it will cost me 4k


think hes gonna keep the galaxy and range rover as hes toy

he actually thought that was alot of cash cause it was a k reg with full leather trim ect

You was lucky, lol all you do is spend spend spend

Steve.

Ginge !

sorry but the HPI list is pointless on a cossie,,,,,,,, just like full service history imo as at some point your gonna have to rebuild it AND then you mod it anyway

HPI is for proper performance cars worth over 10k,,,,,,,,, 3.5k is a holiday in vegas in this day and age

Need RWD fun

Ginge !

its rwd but i dont think it can ever be classed as fun

Charlie Chalk

Hence why i'd like a 2wd cossie

Ginge !

you dont needa 2wd cossie,,,,,,, its not fun owing a car thats in the air more times that a 747

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

Mine wont be


As i said.. Just need it for fun, And living on a big airfield theres more than enough space for that

Ginge !

yours wont as it will be like your S2,,,,,,,,, abandoned and ignored

200sx like greg and steve have got mate, you can drift with them too

cossies can only donut or drift but not in straight line,,,,,, its either over to the left or to the right a bit

Shows how much you know



There is this option

Graceland

it is on the list yep, i have no problems with it been a cat-D - it had a new wing, slam panel and bonnet back in 1999 and all work was done by Ford using Ford panels

Ginge !

gracie this is one of them times i DEFFO agree with ya

how many cossies that are not recorded had work done as most cossie owners are 3rd party these days

Graceland

there are very few cossies out there that are totally orignal in panels and paint unfortunately

Ginge !

mines hpi clear and had 2 new rear quarters

Dirty Harry

iTrader: (12)

yopu would be surprized,panels yes paint well you dont actually think your going to find a used cossie that aint had paint,or any other used car come to that

Graceland

Graceland

pete - i know of very very few cossies with orignal paint

aduz

or engines and shells for that matter

Stavros

Get a welded diff and you well away.

IMO tho get a old 535 beemer (ie the Mid 80s ones) and strip it n weld the diff up.

Not that heavy (under 1200kg stripped out), over 200bhp in Euro spec, tons of torque, and wont break.

Theres one i want right now, but already got the SX i cant really afford it (tho itd be great having andother drift car, as at least one will be working at a time), so trying to get someone to go halves on it with me.

Ginge !

gracie but what about the dealers that respray em before there even sold


besides 20 year old paint is good for classic cars

NOT FOR A TOY TO PLAY WITH !!!

Dirty Harry

Ginge !
