everytime i go thro the for sale sale section there seems to be another perfectly good cossie being broken coz they cant sell them.

whats going on lads...its getting harder and harder to get a decent cossie these days and ppl breaking them are making them rarer and rarer.

these cars are getting on for 20 years old now and if we keep breaking them the way we are then there will be none left in 5/10 years.

lets try and keep a true ford classic alive and STOP ripping them to bits for a few extra quid

 

im sorting mine now,so will be good for another twenty years

 

Any seriously modded Cosworth has to be broken if the owner wants to see the most return. If someone advertises a 450hp Saff for 12k they get told they are on drugs so WTF are they supposed to do?

 

So that makes hard to get hold of parts available for the ones that need them

The ones that will be left will hopefully be worth something then

Quite, but for someone who can't shift a car and wants to get on the property ladder, or, buy something newer, what choice is there ? Sell a good car for pityful money and scrape by, or, make as much as possible ?
If everyone had spare cash, it wouldn't be a problem - in fact, people could afford to pay for what people ask

I can't see a major problem with it tbh, most shells end up being re-used after someone stacked theirs too, putting an otherwise dead car back on the road.

 

i see your point m8 totally...but you know what im getting at...ive just got back into the RS scene m8 and would hate to see old fords disappearing like they are now......dont forget that ford are never gonna make anything like the S2'S , cossies , mk1 and mk2 escorts again so i just reckon we should try our best to keep what we've got.

 

shame but its what happens

 

tis a shame tho dont you think.....i dont think anything else compares to an old ford.....there is just something about them.....im selling a 14k impreza P1 to go back to an old cossie money guzzler......WTF.................................. ................RS fords forever

 

you knows it makes sence

 

if they need to sell and they don't what are people supposed to do.

also, we plough too much into them and need to break them to get good money back.

 

Nothing wrong with breaking them, keep what you want/need for yourself and flog the rest

 

if its anything like escort mk1s,n2sit,ll be worth storing a few, even them shells fetch 500 squid
if i had room i,d buy saffs all day long store them forafew years they have got to be classics

 

in daves situation he puts a new meaning to the word break

 

I just broke a mk1 this week

 

was gonna say, dave states the reasons why people do it ,,,,,, but atleast he has a valid excuse why he broke his,,,,,,,, he reversed into a wall

 

K5SSY

 

the answer is ....dont plough so much money into them...we all know that you dont get your money back when you sell a car with a shit load of mods on them

 

i just broke a windscreen for a mk6 fiesta,,,,,,,, it was in for a waranty as the heater elements are playing up,,,,,,,,,, we order one in and i chuck a wheel bearing at a member of staff for a joke and the fucker jumps out the way and it breaks the NEW screen,,,,,,,,,,, and im being blamed for it,,,,, i wasnt the one who moved

 

pmsl.......

 

you do, because people break them.

 

oooooh, thats below the belt

 

ummmm let me think..i asked on here...partly for entertainment what my n plate escos was worth with no engine or box and all standard stuff on here a couple of months ago, figures ranged from 5k to 7k also a few timewasters asking about buying it complete which never happened...so i broke it almost finished now and it will have returned around 11k without selling an engine or box or wheels

it was a nice car but i dont give a toss its only a car and my wallet is fatter

 

well i don't know how Kevin,whats there to sell.

 

prices please.

 

im putting mine back on the road (eventually) LOL

 

no classified info you should have been watching my ebay stuff i have kept note of every penny that has come in...will be up to 7k this week and i still have the shell!!

 

What would my track spec saff have sold as complete? 7k?

Double that broken in parts.

I'm not rich, I need the money, and couldn't give a rat's arse about heritage, unless I'm getting paid to care.

 

 

Break em all get rid of em ASAP!!!

 

don,t be like that aj

 

 

this one may be next breaker on my list

 

give you a tenner? and you can keep the wheels

 

......Don`t you fookin dare......


Or i`ll bring some scousers up to move in next door to ya...

 

DO IT KEV!

KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV KEV

 

PMSL

 

aj ,goin to break the miss,s evo and see how you like it

 

Hy i know what you mean mate, but as mentioned before, if its a huge spec cossie then it be eaiser to break it then to sell.

but again, im not one to say as im selling mine and if i dont get much response then i may have to break it up

 

and take the car off ya

 

Cool - i'll buy some bits off ya

 

Yeah........Least we`d love,cherish and look after it....


That is until the next Combe trackday....
