if you have built the car you have always wanted and are happy why sell it

 

sell it dunc youll never get that sort of offer again

 

need to think about it this week and we will see, but at the moment its not for sale iam probley mad not to sell, but thats me

 

Just read through all this and Lammy is right Dunc, an hour to you is probably about 5 mins to them, Car thiefs are good at there jobs as well as Im sure ya aware, May be genuine interest but the worst thing is , if they want it badly enough then they`ll fooking get it

 

Dunc

What cars do you fancy IF you did sell it

 

tiff a GT2 nice but loads of cash, noble m400 ?? i dont know

 

Thing is Dunc, all be it a bloody good offer, if it wasn't on your mind to sell in the first place then you WILL regret selling it if you let it go!

If you'd have wanted to sell it then it might be different, you would bite his bloody hand off! lol

If you want my advice i'd keep the bugger!

 

P.s Glad to hear it wasnt a phony/dodgy call!

 

thing is alot of your enjoyment over the last 6 years will have been
making the car what it is, which youve done and finished.

Theres not much you could do to it now to make it any better so if its that good an offer sell it and do another

do an RS500 this time

 

well the offer is Ł28.5 k and i keep the plate, as iam sure you will agree that is a lot off dosh, i wasnt going to say how much it was but as iam not going to sell it, it dont matter any more.

The reason iam not selling is because i love the car to much to sell it and i whould hate to see it at the shows. Any way to build this car to the spec it is whould cost me much more and if it goes i probley whould You probley think iam mad not to sell at this price but then i dont care

 

kin ell thats a good price

only worth it if you dont buy another and do it all again.. but if u still love it which it sounds like you do keep it or flog as i think your mates with M600BHP and buy that you said you wanted a power hike

 

YEY! lol

IMHO Dunc, you've made a good decision there! Nice one!

Just remember, if this blokes genuine and wants to buy one that bad, he'll have a fookin stormer for that sort of money!

 

Fuck me Dunc....that is ALOT of money

BUT

even if you are umming a TINY bit at that price it is 100% clear that you wont sell it

Fair play though Dunc, it is THE best "Road-going" Escort Cosworth in the country imho

 

Blimey

I'd Sell it - EVERYTHING has a price IMO

 

just shut up about it and keep it ya loser and if you do sell in about a years time ill give ya 12k for it lol

 

cheers ant, dont worry iam NOT SELLING after speaking to you today he phoned me again, i dont think he belived me when i said no lol

Thanks tiff it quotes like that which make me know iam making the right choice

 

 

You allways get good sound advise from ant speaks to you like all good mates should, TRUE AND TO THE POINT !!!

 

Defo mate, just ignore the 'Loser' bit!

 

lol

 

fair play dunc it just goes to show money does not buy anything... nice to be in a position to turn him down though
p.s. when i read the begining of the thread i was going to offer you foc secure storage for a few weeks

 

Good to hear your keeping it. It's not like you need the money

Plus if you had sold it who would we have to follow to all the shows.

Still thought it sounded a bit dodgy, who has that sort of money after christmas,
he could of been getting friendly to enable him to see where you keep it then give a call to see when your away, and nick it from under your nose..


Dam, just given my game plan away...

 

Top offer Martin...fair play mate

 

cheers martin for the offer

dean he wanted to give me his bank details so my bank could phone them,

 

Deffo one of the mintest cossys at the shows

Think about it though dunc what would you of replaced it with m8

But then again RS200s are nice

 

spookily enough i had a text on monday asking if mine was for sale and he said he got the number from rallye news as well!!

 

how you doing john ? got the gear box sorted ? and have you ever been in a 200 not very easy to drive and they dont like traffic much, but fine on a track or in a forest.

 

jeez thats a lot of cash!

all i'd worried about now is when you eventually sell no doubt it wont fetch that much and you'll look back and regret it!

but fair play - respect for sticking with it and owning one of the best escos'!

 

Dunc, do the right thing, swap your wheels for mine then sell it

 

Hi m8 the new gearbox is with Martin getting sorted as we speak, also sorting out a hydraulic twin plate clutch conversion so the car should be alot easier to drive when i get it back

PS never been in a 200 i know there meant to be pigs to drive...but id still love to have one sat in my garage

 

Thats alot of money...more than the car was new!! Although, people spend that kind of cash every week on the likes of brand new scoobies & Evo's so theres got to be plenty people with that sort of money to spend & amongst them the 1 or 2 wanting something a little bit different & prepared to spend top money to get it!! Theres plenty standard Cossies with price tag's of Ł20-30k so why not!! Far play to you if you dont want to sell....keep it another 10yrs & see if someone will offer you Ł40/50k for it

 

hi dunc m8 i wouldnt sell it as it great car and all the stuff u done to get it how u want it plus all that time and money u spend on it , u would only regret it if u sold it so dont as money not everythink and u got one of the best cossie going around m8 well done

 

Hi Dunc,

I had a guy PM me on here desperate to buy mine, a guy at National Day wouldn't leave me alone and kept hassling me, said he had the cash on him and could buy it there and then

couldn't tell you their names though mate, sorry.

The thing that would be in my mind is that he makes you a fantastic offer to temp you to a point where he comes to have a look at her, see's where she's at and looks at the security side of things then as people have said, if they want it bad enough, they'll get it!! Would fookin worry me too mate. Good job mine isnt at home and is in very secure storage elsewhere!!

 

So this guy was walking around National Day with 25 grand in a bag Scott, fucking hell he must have had a lot of confidence in himself to do that. Im crapping my self when Im going to buy a car with 5 or 7 grand , and thats when Im in the car

 

Cheers scott and happy new year to you and claire hope you lot are all ok, i belive it is the same chap mate as i spoke to him today and asked him, told him the bad news lol its not for sale, he said i was a fool not to sell it for that money as i whould never have this chance again, i said i couldnt give a toss and i hope you find a car, i then said good by going to ring harvy when he gets back and book it in for some work as a X mass treat

cheers all for your veiws

 

Is Harvey on holiday again? was gonna ring him too as mine needs an oil leak fixing that he knows about and needs mapping again before I go to the ring in April. Dunno if I wanna go more power too

Have you got a number for the guy that done your box?? Where did you get your diffs from also.....maybe get them done I think

 

theres an rs500 on there with a t4 turbo etc and has dodgy looking people in the background......

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RS500-COSWORTH...QQcmdZViewItem

has dodgy comments on bottom too...

 

well done for keeping it.i reckon 99 out of hundred would sell!!

 

scott box was from spadges car and is a pete doulty uprated one dont have his number handy at the mo but i can find it for you, diffs came from people on the net just look out for them they come up for sale quite a bit.

Might have my box for sale soon as i might be going for a new one

 

Fair play Dunc, if you had sold it you would have missed it too much by the fact that you had to um and arr over such a large amount, other thing is who knows that he is who he says he is, Identity fraud is huge atm and he could have been offering you someone elses money?
good on Martin though, that was a stunning offer.
