Just looked at Autotrader to see what the going rate was, and this is what they say:

Dealer £11,968

Private £11,599

Part Ex £10,021

Trade £9,609

Cost New £24,320



Ford Escort Hatchback (90-01) RS Cosworth 4x4 3dr
Hatchback 3dr
1996-N
Mileage


Fallen behind rivals in overall ability. Reasonable refinement but agility is poor; ride is harsh and engines coarse.
Generally reliable and cheap to run;

Obviously never owned one

Damp in fuse boxes can wreck electrics.
Cambelts on diesels need changing every two years.

Hmmm optional extra?

Alternative choice:
Rover 200, Vauxhall Astra, Citroen ZX

Yeah, give me a Citroen ZX anyday. The suspension on those is way ahead of an escos.

Hey Alex, it's when you can't get the fooking suspension back up again you wish you'd spent the extra £2000 on a proper car....
